Here you can find work in progress, Holga photos, travel photos, snaps from around town and, occasionally, ones from the file boxes that have never found a spot to call home. The nice thing about a blog is that I can show you new work in a less formal fashion than on my web page. I post on a regular basis, so check back. You can follow me on Instagram @ jonnycakes7

Diners

The Sixth Street Diner in Los Banos is a great place to fuel up on a road trip.
Unique decor and breakfast served all day!
Nicely’s on US Route 395 in Lee Vining in a classic spot. They have a special every night and an extensive regular menu. The food is pretty good and the customers better! You’re not in Santa Cruz Jonny!
On the return trip it was Happy Burger on California State Route 140 in Mariposa. The burgers were enormous and the staff was happy!

Alice, taking in the scene at Tuolumne Meadows on day one.
After the hot drive it felt great to be at 8,619 feet elevation and 66 degrees.
These photos were made with a LOMO camera and Kodak Color 200.

On Foot

Just back from a week in the Sierra Nevada. We were in the Eastern Sierra and
the Tioga Pass, and Tuolumne Meadows areas.
These photos are from a hike we did yesterday in the Twenty Lakes Basin.
This scene reminded me of a Rothko painting.

Marking the day with a portrait in the alley studio. It wasn’t the sunniest
summer ever but I’m sorry to say goodbye.

Photo a Day

September 14th, 2024  |   Comments Off on Photo a Day

More from the archive. In 2008 I worked on a one year project. I posted a photo every
 day for a year. Looking back on the photos I made during that time I realized there
were many that were strong photos but didn’t make the edit for that day. It’s been
fun to look through those photos. Here are a couple from Main Beach. You can check
out the project if you click on Photo a Day at the bottom of the Tags list to the right.
