J.T. MacMillan Photography J.T. MacMillan Photography For 28 years I've embraced photography as my passion and livelihood.

As a photojournalist, I’ve had the privilege of documenting the human experience for metro daily newspapers, capturing the moments that reveal who we are. As a marketing photographer, I work closely with clients to illustrate what makes their business or company unique, through portraiture, product and work-site photography.

Turtle town in South Maui doesn't disappoint, at least when you get up way too early on a Sunday morning to experience it. Even then the water was a bit silty, but it was the most photo-rich experience I've had with the turtles here in 20 years. There's little we love more than this.

Monday was a busy day at Torrey Pines Gliderport. Apparently, now they provide "emotional support" dogs for those nervous first-timers. 😆

A brisk wind 💨 helped us on our way to anchor at Mariner’s Basin in Mission Bay for our traditional 4th of July weekend escape. There are a few things more relaxing for us than chillin’ on our anchored boat
watching the spectacle around us. No traffic, no crowds, no agenda. A perfect break from all the other stuff.

Parking in downtown San Diego has bee-come a bit more challenging. Judging by some abandoned tickets I saw in the Ace Parking Lot dispenser this morning, some folks didn't realize the situation until they had already paid for their parking. Ain’t that a bee-tch. 😆

It’s always a treat to shoot promo photos for Lamb’s Players Theatre, but capturing the final dress before the San Diego premiere of the Broadway hit "The Play That Goes Wrong" this week was something special.

It took me back to my days shooting pro sports—I've rarely seen performers work with such nonstop physical intensity for two hours. What looks like pure chaos on stage is, in reality, a masterclass in precision timing.

Every fall, collision, and mishap is perfectly choreographed by the amazing cast and crew, delivering one of the funniest and most entertaining productions I can remember. The show runs through June 7.

As mating season begins, the natives are getting restless, and for the past three weeks the action has been peaking with a twilight feeding frenzy.
This time of year the little beasts are consuming up to a quart of sugar water in just two days.
Since the most active time for photography is also the poorest light just before dark, I've used lights and in some cases a black backdrop to capture some of their wild shenanigans before things calm down in a few weeks.
Between the watching the Olympics and recent rainy weather it's been a great time to be a home body and enjoy what's right outside our window.

Stealing away for our last adventure of the summer (which btw does go into October in San Diego), we anchored at Glorietta Bay in Coronado for the first time - in time to get this photo of the Hotel Del Coronado.

A stream of New Years Eve revelers start leaving the Las Vegas strip a couple of hours after midnight. One man's traffic jam is another man's eye candy. Just sayin'.
