A Photographic Journey

This site has been developed mostly as a means to display my photos to my friends and family. Curiously, I do not have anywhere near 223906 friends or family members, yet that is the number of visitors to this site as indicated by my counter. If you like what you see, please let me know via the comments.

I am an amateur photographer (though technically I am a professional, in the sense that I've been paid for my...ummm..."services") living in San José, California, USA (Earth). This is yet another of my expensive and unprofitable hobbies, not my real job, and I like it that way.

I do not limit myself to any particular type of photography; I shoot what I like, and when I have results I like I put them up for others to see. I'm not necessarily asking you to like them, too but it's always nice when others appreciate one's work.

By the way: these images are not in the public domain. I retain all rights. You’re free to download these low resolution, small size images for your personal and noncommercial use (for example, a personal/non-profit web page or blog that does not recieve advertising revenue), provided that I am credited as the photographer ("photo: j.hadley" will do). If you are interested in using larger or higher resolution versions of these images for some other purpose, please contact me and we can discuss. NOTE: I don't want to "discuss" your scheme for claiming the TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR estate of your dead Nigerian relative.
