Why I Like Free Photos

Picture: Shelter on Mount Whitney's summit, Sierra Nevada, California; Photo by Justin Johnsen I know it must sound crazy at first; why would a professional photographer be happy about other photographers giving away their work for free? Given the dire warnings about how microstock was driving the stock photography industry…

Picture: Large rock boulder balanced on edge, Joshua Tree National Park, California Last week I posted this image on my Facebook business page. I've mentioned previously that I don't do "art speak" or give my images artsy titles. However, on a few very rare occasions an image will speak to…

California Photos Rants and Raves Water

The wrong lesson

Picture: Overview of the Marin County Watershed as seen from Mount Tamalpais, Marin County, California I can understand why they're upset. Marin County is one of the San Francisco Bay Area's more affluent regions. The normal cursory thought of "Well, they can afford it" would usually draw little attention. Yet…

Proof that History puts people to sleep

Picture: Interior of the Iron Door Saloon, est. 1852; the oldest continuously operating saloon in the state, Groveland, California I admit my frustration level has been met and exceeded.

What’s old is new

Picture: Bidwell Mansion, Chico, California I tended to include "No HDR" with many of my landscape images posted online. I heard too many people say, "great use of HDR" at a time when I never used any automated HDR process on my images. Not long ago, I finally experimented with…

My, how time flies…

Picture: Air Force planes on display at the "Century Circle" near the main entrance gate to Edwards Air Force Base, near Mojave, California The saying goes, "My, how time flies when you're having fun."

The Decade in Pictures

Every so often I feel it's important to pass along other great and important photo links, and numerous times of late, that has been thanks to the Boston Globe's Big Picture. This time they've put together a collection of "The Decade in News Photos." It's 50 images; 49 compelling and…

California National Parks Photos Seasons Trees Winter

And thus goes Fall

Picture: Fresh snow on tree branches in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California I just heard the weatherman on the radio say, "only three more days until Winter." It's so odd that last week we had the lowest, longest-lasting snowfall in the San Francisco Bay Area in many many years.…

Some HDR Required – or maybe not…

Picture(s): Lava Tube Cave Entrance, Lava Beds National Monument, Modoc County, California. Those people that know me and have seen my image postings around the internet may have seen many of my postings contain the phrase, "No HDR". The only reason I posted that, and have mentioned before, is that…
