welcome to james day photography

Hello everyone, and welcome to the new blog!

My name is Joe Hardy and I did a lot of the design and backend work for this new look. The project has been some time in the making, but we’re finally here and James and I are excited to finally unleash our work to the masses. I hope you all find it an easy-to-use and exciting way to keep up-to-date with what James has been up to.

In this post I’ll explain a few of the blog’s new features.

• James’ first priority for this new blog was that it had to be clean and simple to use - everything you wanted to see, and nothing you don’t.
• We’ve gone for a new approach to displaying the photos that James posts. Instead of pages and pages of photos, instead you’ll see a feature image and lots of thumbnails below it. Click a thumbnail and the new image will load right there. It saves you scrolling, and looks awesome!
• Wondering where how you can view posts by topic? Have a look next to each post title - you’ll see one or more keywords inside a set of parentheses. Click one of these keywords, and you’ll see all posts that relate to it.
• The logo up the top has a couple of surprises - mouse over it and you’ll see options to view a special video intro and a brief bio about James.

Please contribute your thoughts by adding comments - we’d love to hear what you think!

(P.S. I’ve included some photos to demonstrate the new image gallery. I don’t have any new photos by James to upload, so these photos I took of my daughter Nadia will have to do instead!)

This is a brand spanking new blog.. designed to match the new website. I hope you love it! (i’m being straight and to the point tonight as I’m desperately trying to get ready to go to Canada tomorrow.

Hey Everyone,
Just a quick note to let you know that the new website & blog with the new branding and new features is being delayed.
My apologies to everyone who i’ve told that the new site would be up by friday.. and it wasn’t.
We’re working on getting it done asap.. it’ll be worth the wait! No ETA as of yet.

James.

Hey Everyone,
It’s here.. introducing the new logo!

Let me take this opportunity to explain why it looks the way it looks.
Firstly, Annabelle from Storm Creative designed this logo. In case it’s not completely obvious, the graphic extending off the J, is a representation of a camera lens. After being trained for a short while by Simon James, and his business name was called Lime Imagery, we thought it would be appropriate to use lime green as the colour scheme.

Expect to see this logo around a bit.. I’ll be sponsoring an Indoor Soccer team called “Snap!” and they’ll be wearing T-Shirts with the new logo (this is actually the team I play for). Also, we have enviro bags with the logos, stickers, dvd’s and lots of other promo material… You’ll no doubt see it somewhere around the place.

Things are all set for the Tamworth Bridal Expo this sunday. We’re going to be launching our biggest prize yet.. and I dare say the biggest prize ever been given away by a photography studio. Check the blog on sunday evening, or come and see me at the Tamworth Bridal Expo to find out more!
