A Brief Note About Upcoming Posts

Posting a new photograph here every day isn’t easy! I usually try to work ahead so that I have a number of photographs queued up in advance. (No, I’m not really up at 4:00 a.m. Pacific every day finishing up and posting a new photo… ;-)

About a month ago I found myself in the difficult position of having no new photograph ready for the next day’s post on more than one occasion. Fortunately, this happened at about the time of my annual ritual of reviewing all of my photographs from the previous year. This year that amounted to more than 10,000 frames. Not surprisingly, I found a few interesting photographs that I had forgotten or which didn’t make sense to me originally.

During the past few weeks I’ve had more opportunities to get out and shoot. In fact, right now I have nearly two weeks of photographs queued up for posting here. I had the opportunity to spend a rainy afternoon at the Getty Center in Los Angeles at the end of December, and a series of photographs from that adventure will appear soon. I also had the chance to make a quick visit to the Big Sur coast yesterday and I have a few new photographs from that trip that will appear soon – including a new shot of the Rocky Creek Bridge area that I think I like a lot.

Stay tuned!

Holiday Photographs – There’s Still Time

If you are interested in ordering a print for a holiday gift – or for yourself – there is still time… but not much! Almost all of my photographs are available as prints. I can print many of them at sizes of up to 24″ x 36″. Smaller sizes are also available of course.

Prints ordered during the next 72 hours or so can be shipped via 2-3 day mail on Monday and should arrive by Christmas. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area I can probably push that timing a bit – and if I’m out doing photography in your area I might even be able to deliver a print to you myself.

Induro Interview: G Dan Mitchell

I was recently interviewed by Rachel at the Induro Blog, and the interview is now online there along with a selection of some of my photographs. Even those of you who follow my blog may learn a new thing or two about me and my photography!

(For those who may not already know, Induro manufactures and distributes a range of excellent monopods, tripods, heads, and accessories. I’ve used their C313 tripod for several years now.)

Congratulations to Stephen Oachs

Congratulations to Stephen Oachs on the grand opening of his new Aperture Academy and Gallery at the Pruneyard Center (funny name – nice place) in Campbell, California. I dropped by this evening and the place was hopping – filled with folks checking out his impressive and very beautiful new facility. Good luck on the new venture, Stephen!
