welcome to james day photography

Hey Folks,

Yeah.. I’m failing miserably at this whole blogging every day thing, but for good reason. I’ve been busy keeping on top of my clients orders/album designs/.. you name it really!
BUT… the other thing that has been keeping me busy has been a brand spanking new Journal that is going live NEXT FRIDAY the 17th of October, 2008!
It’s going to be simple as anything, quick as a lightning bolt and will sport a few new features that no doubt people everywhere will start to copy.

For the moment though, here is the teaser video for something that will be included on the new Journal! Check out this intro vid made by the awesomeness that is Shadowplay!

Hey Folks,

YEP! I NEED YOUR HELP! It’s time to pick a song for the promo video for the new blog. It’s going to be a rocking video of me photographing. Riveting I hear you say!

What are your suggestions? I’m too Sexy by Right Said Fred has been thrown on it short term until we work out the right song to use. What song would you like to see used? Surely we can do better than the current song!

Leave me a comment and let me know!

Aren’t I doing so well with this blogging every day thing? Better than Jessica Claire anyhow!
You all should know by now, for my love for Canada Dry, Lauren, and Shadowplay Photography & Video. As you are all well aware, they joined me for Alex and Danika’s Wedding last month, and took a few photos and this awesome wedding video teaser. Amazing!

I woke up at 5am this morning.. rather annoyed.. as it didn’t seem I would be able to get back to sleep.. & I’ve got a super busy day today, so I needed all the sleep I could get.. but then shortly after waking up…my blackberry went off with a facebook wall post from Rob and Lauren telling me that I’ve been blogified! -meaning that the shoot that they did of Lauren and I is now on their blog.
I was expecting good things from them, and I gave them a super hard time while they were shooting me. I did my random fake posing, I stuck my middle finger up at them alot..apparently there were enough photos from that for a full blog post.
I am so blown away with the results. What do you guys thing? Isn’t Lauren gorgeous! That isn’t a question… it’s a definite.

Thanks again Rob and Lauren!

& a note to my lauren.. don’t we look hot together? Smokin!

Just a quick note to let you all know that I’ve arrived safely back in Sydney, and am back on deck when it comes to work related things! I can’t wait to get back into it and get back to helping my clients. I’m also totally booked up now here in Sydney for shoots and meetings.
It’s a 14 and a half hour flight from Vancouver to Sydney, and I slept 9 hours of it.. and woke up to do a bit of photo editing.. I woke up briefly to grab the evening meal that they serve, then fell asleep before I touched it.. then woke up to find it gone. That’s how deeply I slept! My recommendation when flying for long haul flights like that is to get a window seat as you can just plant your face against the window and sleep. That’s what I do anyway. I must have looked a sight though. I was wearing shorts, a black t shirt and black dress shoes with white socks. They are my most comfortable shoes, but they didn’t exactly go with the rest of the outfit. Lauren was pleased though, because she knew it would mean that no girls would go anywhere near me as I practically looked homeless. Imagine me walking into the sheraton on the park hotel in this… I was the only one without a suit on.
random things…
*7 meetings tomorrow.. wish me luck!
*6 days till Lauren leaves Canada bound for Armidale!
*I’ve just been informed that Canada Dry is available in Australia.
*The city is so expensive
*Australian winters are so lame. It’s barely even cold here.
*$11 for a beer at this hotel. What the!?
*Why is it always my shout? ARGH! I’m on a shouting strike! (for those of you wondering what I’m talking about.. Shouting someone is the way aussies say paying for somoene. So when you go out for a meal and someone wants to pay for the other.. they say “my shout”.
*I REALLY love my clients.
*I am really behind on blog posts. I have so much that I have promised to post..e.g. Giveaways.. shoots..tutorial videos.. they’re all coming folks!
*A new blog is coming.. I’m meeting with the designer tomorrow morning and it’s looks AWESOME so far.. Nice and simple.. just like me!
*Rubbing my hand on the lounge that I’m sitting on feels awesome.. Especially when you rub it against the grain.. lol
*You can make free calls from the iphones at the apple store. I was checking out the apple store here in Sydney and the phone I was looking at started ringing..so I asked what the deal was… and they said that someone must have placed a call from the phone and someone is returning their call! Who knew!

I’ll also leave you with another pic that Perry took of Lauren and I.
