I recently returned from New York City, where my iPhone told me that it was 10 degrees outside, but that it actually would feel like it was 5 degrees. Brrr! As a longtime Californian who grew up in New York City a long time ago, trust me, this was a shock to the system. But […]
We started the year gazing out at the Mexico border from a pier three miles away in Imperial Beach, California and ended with another Photowalks expedition to glorious San Francisco. Along the way, hello Tijuana, Sicily and Barcelona, the West (Heber and Park City, Utah, Cody, Wyoming, Bozeman, MT and Victor, Idaho) a return to […]
Jefferson Graham travels up and down the California coast and all over the world producing episodes of his PhotowalksTV travel show. The Manhattan Beach resident offers travel and photo tips. The series has been a popular YouTube mainstay since 2018, attracting nearly 2 million views. Now, the series has made the move to broadcast TV, […]
You may have heard that locals in Barcelona, one of the world’s most beautiful and visited cities, protested recently with squirt guns, chanting “Tourist Go Home,” complaining that they were ruining their city. So does that mean we stop visiting? The answer is a big no. We visited in May, a few weeks before the summer […]
I started PhotowalksTV to help people cut to the chase when they arrived somewhere with their phone camera. Instead of trying to figure out where the best places for local photography were when you got to town, what if you could watch a video and get a sense of it before you arrived? Over the […]
Join PhotowalksTV for a visit to the fourth largest city in Montana, if not the coolest, Bozeman. It is your gateway of sorts to Yellowstone National Park, a college town with a hip vibe and historic buildings that’s 90 minutes from the park. A summer visit to Bozeman is breathtaking—but don’t take my word for […]
Sicily had never been on our radar until some friends convinced us to check out the rugged, lush Italian island. Info on tackling where to go and what to do was overwhelming, but we went ahead anyway, learned a lot, got some great photos, met some amazing people and will never forget our time there. […]
The latest episode of PhotowalksTV heads south to the San Diego area, to explore the beach community of Carlsbad. The city has a lot going for it: a historic downtown that dates back to the late 1800s, a European style village, great beaches, local strawberry fields that go on forever and nearby some 55 acres […]
The idea of the PhotowalksTV series is to take you along with me to great places, show you around and offer tips on how to best capture the location with your smartphone. When I do it right, I hopefully inspire you to visit places you either haven’t been before, or might consider revisiting, wowing you […]
The latest from PhotowalksTV: a short 90 minute drive from the Bubble (on a good day) or 2 hours or so, brings us to the cute North San Diego beach town of Oceanside. Like Manhattan Beach, Hermosa and Redondo, it also has a classic pier (way longer though, one of the longest in the state) […]
Nearby Venice Beach has always been a fun, funky place to visit, but in recent years, it’s been over-populated by so many homeless encampments that many people preferred to stay away. But as I discovered on a recent visit, to film the latest episode of PhotowalksTV, Venice has been cleaned up. There are still a […]
Even in the midst of a pandemic, we still managed to bring the Photowalk cameras to some great places year for season 2 of the travel photography series, so if you’ll indulge me, a quick look back at highlights from a strange year. I just put together a highlight reel from the just concluded season which begins […]
