Spring along the south fork
A few more images from the New York Creek area of Folsom Lake. All the photos are from April 2022 — except for the doe, which I spotted in January.
The Adventure Continues… Huts and Hangars
I happened to catch this Classic episode of California’s Gold the other day on television. It’s great to be able to hear the memories of people who were on the spot when these structures were first built and used; and that includes Huell, who clearly had his own experience with quonset huts. As for the origin of the word quonset, […]
The Adventure Continues… Fotoplayer
Huell really isn’t kidding when he says that this episode of California’s Gold starts off “with a bang,” and it’s sure to put a smile on your face right away! This is a really fun episode that’s filled with early motion picture theater history — not the big stuff like movie studios and glamorous stars, but the nearly forgotten details […]
Night and day
I always enjoy the balcony views whenever we visit the Worldmark resort on the north shore of Clear Lake; but if I had known we would have such a great lake view this time, I would have brought along a tripod for more night photography. Also, it may have had something to do with spring break, but I saw a […]
The Adventure Continues… Press Photographers
It’s one thing to be an amateur photographer, and quite another to be a professional. It’s hard for me to imagine the amount of hard work and persistence it must take to consistently produce quality photos like the ones featured in this episode of Visiting. But these professionals definitely have some incredible stories to tell! Huell meets the photographers behind […]
Memory Monday: Hicks album, Week 10
One final look inside the Gladding McBean factory during Feats of Clay XXIII, March 2010.
Throwback Thursday: Avery’s Pond & Mormon Ravine
I have returned many times to Rattlesnake Bar on Folsom Lake for the hike to Avery’s pond. Last Thursday I shared a few 2006 images from this beautiful area, so this week I’m jumping ahead 10 years with photos from a hike we took on April 1, 2016. I previously posted some of these pictures back in May 2018 (see […]
Memory Monday: Hicks Album, Week 9
The Gladding McBean company has a long and fascinating history. Over many decades of the factory’s existence, their artists have created miles of clay sewer pipe, tons of decorative tableware, and countless pieces of architectural ornamentation in terra cotta. To walk through the factory even today is to discover bits and pieces of history lying about in every room.
Ocean views
I could really spend hours gazing at the ocean off the Northern California coast, and I sometimes manage to shoot a few pictures as well! We were fortunate to make it over to the coast on three separate trips last year, in April, September, and November. It was the first time in ages that I’d seen the coast in springtime, […]
