David Jay.... Amazing...

hmm, I may have to try my best to make it to this one then. I would really like to meet David and learn his workflow, and I am most interested in the wedding one. Thanks for the link!

actually just watched the vids, his pictures are really really good

DJ, you aren't going to grace this thread with your presence? I know you saw it last night at 11pm, you viewed my website from it

DJ does rock! His marketing skills are second to none in our business and to stay a great guy speaks tons on his ethics which in this business can be slim for many photographers.

To me his camera skills mean nothing, you can always be a great amazing photographer and if your simply unethical to me it means nothing. DJ is the complete package in this business,

ethcial, cool, and talented!

That's interesting you would say that. I would argue, though, that ethics can be slim in any business. Actually, ethics is what kept me from starting my own business for a while. I didn't want my ethics to suffer from the drive to make (a lot of) money, which, obviously, is a huge part of business. I just have to remember that it's about the people, and if I'm concentrating on them and their needs, then I will be in the head space I should be.

I completely agree, having been a CSI Investigator for years I seen it first hand in the worst professions out there.

I agree again, very well stated.

I feel DJ has both of these, at least from what I have seen and heard from others in the business.

Just re-read this thread.

David, would be great to see you post here.

I'd be very interested to hear how you started out & got to where you are.

yup yup.. if DJ can grace this thread, that'll be great. it'll be wonderful to have someone like DJ to share and teach us his kin vision in photography!

WOW! I've heard of him but this is the first time viewing his work. It's amazing. I viewed it right before I shot todays wedding at it was very inspirational and gave me some cool ideas.

How do you buy this? What type of effects are they?

Thanks,

Here's a couple of slideshows I have up using showitfast. It's not actions in PS it's a separate program. Nice thing about it is that it lets you set up the timing for your slide to music easily.

You guys are amazing! Honestly I can't tell you how flattered I am by this post and how blessed I've been to be able to be a wedding photographer for the past four years.

I had no intentions of going into wedding photography but I fell in love with it pretty quickly and continue to find so many incrdible people in this industry.

I look forward to being on here more and getting to know all of you!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.
