Quick Morning Update

My website suffered from a major — though temporary! — meltdown last night. It was offline for a few hours while I sorted things out. Thanks for your patience.


G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer and visual opportunist. His book, “California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra” (Heyday Books) is available directly from him.

Welcome to New Subscribers

Welcome and thanks all of you who have recently subscribed directly to this website to receive my daily posts via email! More and more people are switching to new social media outlets — and leaving behind services like Twitter/x and the Meta universe of Twitter. There’s a register link on every page if you want to join them.

I use the WordPress platform for my website, and this service is increasingly integrated and flexible. I think it has an important role to play as social media evolves and as web-based service perhaps experience a renaissance.

You can still interact with me on other services, too, of course! (I’m on Bluesky, Mastodon, SubStack, Flickr, Spoutible, and Vero. Just look for “gdanmitchell” and/or “G Dan Mitchell.”)

But you can also interact directly here. Each new post has a discussion feature that you can use to leave comments or ask questions. I really enjoy hearing from you and hope you’ll give it a try.

Again, thanks!

Note to G Dan Mitchell Website Subscribers

I am consolidating some services on my G Dan Mitchell Photography website. Some people have been subscribing to email announcements from the site using a legacy wordpress “subscriber” system. I am eliminating this older option.

If you stop receiving site emails as a result, there is an easy solution! When you visit the home page you should see a large floating SUBSCRIBE Botton, likely at the bottom left of the page. Use it to re-subscribe using the current system. (You can also find the Subscribe feature near the bottom of every individual page on the website.)

Thanks for being a subscriber!

Lots of Posts!

Last week I had a reason to look into how many posts and photos have appeared here since I started this website on July 20, 2005. The answer surprised me: Nearly 8,200 posts/articles and more than 6500 images!

And it looks like the site will celebrate the start of its third decade this coming summer!
