I missed a gloriously colored sunset the other day, so I tried to time my late afternoon walk the next day to grab some photos if it happened again. I failed to realize that while there's always another day and another sunset, each one is different, like snowflakes. This one was the polar opposite of... Continue Reading →
Back in 2018 I took a walk up to the Hotel del Coronado here in my current hometown and found one of the most incredible sunsets I've ever seen: bright, vivid oranges and pinks silhouetting the people, lifeguard station, and even a passing seagull on the beach. This past Christmas I made my usual holiday... Continue Reading →
They say the New Year is a time for reflection, so here you go. But seriously, folks ... I have a few "resolutions" for 2022. Be more careful with my money (less Amazon and eBay); isolate more until this Omicron thing peaks and hopefully goes away; and while I'm hopelessly addicted to Instagram (check it...

Happy New Year from the Frolic Room in Hollywood, California ... no, I'm not there. Throughout my life I have steadfastly avoided being anywhere but home on New Year's Eve, the technical term for this behavior being "stick-in-the-mud," but I prefer to think of it as self-preservation. There are a lot of crazy-ass people out... Continue Reading →
I wish everyone who follows this blog—and those who just stumble across it—a very Merry Christmas and the very best in 2022. It can only get better, right? Here's my 2021 Christmas card. Follow me on Instagram @gg92118 for all my latest photos!
Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for ... Part 4 of my epic journey through all the Christmas cards I created from 1977 through 2021. (Actually, to see 2021's card, tune in tomorrow, Christmas Day!) 2000 was the last year of my hand-drawn cards. I don't remember if I did cards for 2001-2004,... Continue Reading →
I used to stay in that hotel in the center of the palm trees when I worked for that big pop culture convention. It's called the Hilton Bayfront San Diego, in a bit of Yoda-like language that seems a bit stilted and opposite ("Hotel name out of order, it is."). This shot was taken on... Continue Reading →
As I’ve grown older, I realize that Christmas is really a time for the young. My fondest memories of the holiday season go back to when I was a kid and the magic that surrounded that time of year. A lot of that magic was inspired by the Sears catalog, which my grandparents got each... Continue Reading →
I recently took a trip to Los Angeles and stayed in historic Pasadena, where I found this lovely neon sign. I had to go back and photograph it at night, and the palm tree behind it was nice enough to pose for me, too! Did you know that if you follow me on Instagram @gg92118... Continue Reading →
Another shot from a night walk from late last year. This restaurant is near my apartment complex and its warm glow really complements the city of San Diego behind it, off across the Big Bay. I don't go out much at night, but when I do, I'm often rewarded with some great photos (if I... Continue Reading →
