Jacks Photo Galleries

Good morning. The image, on the right, of the sunset has a link that will take you to the start of all my photographic galleries. That image is also on the front page of the website, and will also take you directly to all the galleries. If you use an RSS reader, the galleries have an RSS feed, so that you can see the newest galleries as they come online.

This is the RSS link to the galleries, without the weblog. RSS

As you may know, I have recently purchased a new camera, probably because you have read some of these postings earlier. Because photography has recently become something that uses large chunks of my time, I have written less and have many more images to show for that time.

I still have my ClassAnnual Weblog, but the weblog, for the first three days after receiving my new camera, became mostly postings about one new photograph collection or another, I thought the weblog got a little boring. So I have stopped posting new photographic galleries to the weblog and notifying you of them. Instead, I have created a link on the weblog photographic gallery, and I have started dating all the new collections. The newest of the collections will always be at the top, and the older ones move further down off the front page, and on to the second, third, and so forth.

The most recent notification I have made about the photographs was on November the 6th. There are four galleries since then. I shot some of my family for my sister. We went to Mount Soledad and down to La Jolla cove. That prompted a further gallery of the two places without family.

One Thursday a month, I go to a Meetup.com meeting of San Diego Photographers. That meeting starts about 9 PM at The Living Room Coffee shop in Hillcrest, but I usually get there by about 6 and work on my computer because the coffee shop has wireless internet access. This past Thursday I was down by the harbor prior to my Photo/coffee/group and took some pictures down there. Then I went to the coffee shop and shot some images in the late afternoon, then headed up to the coffee shop.

The new camera is like a film camera, in that I have control over exposure, and I can choose to not use a flash. The photos at the coffee shop were all shot without flash. The room is a little dark, so the exposure times are longer than needed to stop motion, but I feel the images show the warmth of the conversations.

Lastly Barry and I went to the San Diego Zoo. ... Something tells me it's all happening there.

By the way, I hope you enjoy the photographs. Some of them are very nice. All them, when you get to the largest size, are large enough to make fine desktop images. Right now I have the flying Pelican from the "Mt. Soledad, La Jolla Cove" gallery as my desktop. ... That image replaced one of the earlier sunsets from the Joshua Tree National Park gallery.

If you want to print them, the largest image in the gallery can print only to a postcard size, but the look great on the screen. If you want a larger image, easily up to 24 inches let me know, it is just that those very large images take up too much server space to have them all online always. — Jack
