Sold!

The Audi is sold, BTW.  Went quick… I’ll miss it…

Selling my Audi

I’m selling my 2000 Audi TT Coupe… the most fun car I’ve ever owned. 47,500 miles, very clean, 5-speed, turbocharged, leather, premium Bose stereo. Asking $11,500. Drop me a line at cg at gulker dot com if you’re serious about the car…

Photographing people

The number one question asked by people who are aware of my photographer background is ‘How do you photograph people?’ Usually they are talking about photographing strangers - people they see on the street (though some just want tips for better shots of their kids).
The short answer is that, in my experience, there is […]

The light box

Can’t remember the last time I pulled out my light box (in foreground) - 5 years ago? I haven’t had to sort transparencies for a long time - I haven’t shot a transparency in an even longer spell. I pulled it out because I wanted to trace the base chart (now that I’m taking charge […]

Our granddaughter Grace

Granddaughter Grace Getze debuts on the blog - seen here in a recent sonogram. Hopefully the first of many Grace pix that will appear on this blog…

Happy 4th to all…

Linda has a really nice, thoughtful piece on First Blush about the 4th of July, and what it has meant to our family. During John’s ‘little boy’ years in South Pasadena, July 4 was an exhausting, exhilarating celebration of family, neighborhoods and ’small-town’ suburban life.
Today we’ll be barbecuing (maple-mustard marinated chicken breasts from Schaub’s) […]

Finally…. we make the cover of Wired

Yes! That’s me on the cover of Wired this month. Finally!
Of course, I only appear on my copy of Wired. A few issues ago, Wired published a blurb inviting readers to send in a photo, noting the first x thousand would get a cover. Looks like I made the cut. This is an example […]

Very cute pix on First Blush

Linda, who has become an accomplished photog since our jogging-together days have been put on hold - has some very cute pix this AM. She’s working with a credit-card-sized Lumix point-and-shoot…

Big moon; dotcom garden gets a hand

A big, pretty moon greeted Cassie and I as we stepped into Oak Knoll Lane for our walk this morning. We had a good weekend: friend Carol McCrary from South Pasadena was in San Francisco this weekend for cooking classes, and came down Saturday afternoon for a visit.
Carol is also a gardener, so we stopped […]

Not just a celeb photog….

I really was just a daily newspaper photog in the 70s - shooting everything from high school football to the Pope. A day’s assignments could be anything: the picture above show’s what’s left of a double gasoline tanker, after it overturned and burst into flame in what proved to be a horrific accident. I had […]
