I just love this:

I'd love for David to tell us more about this pic - how it came to be, what the clients think of it, too

More.

Ham1 · Dec-18-2008, 09:14 PM

Yeah!!

Over this past year now we have worked with DJ on various small projects and he never ceases to amaze me. He has this relaxed, sort of contagious personality that seems to lift up everyone around him. He truly loves helping others with no hidden agenda, which makes for a perfect SmugMug A-i-R.

More great things to come!

***Richard*** · Dec-18-2008, 10:30 PM

Excellent news.

roentarre · Dec-19-2008, 02:01 AM

So cool on that one!

***schmoo*** · Dec-19-2008, 03:16 AM

(Not as cool as that shot, but it's the Dgrinny version

)

Welcome DJ and this is awesome!

Ed911 · Dec-19-2008, 03:51 AM

Welcome aboard. Once again, DGrin comes through. What a great forum and website.

Shima · Dec-19-2008, 04:27 AM

Welcome! It's an honor to have you with us :)

davidjay · Dec-19-2008, 06:01 AM

I am so stoked to be here and even more excited about all SmugMug is doing for us wedding photographers! Post up any questions you have and thanks for the warm welcome.

My goal is to surpass Andy in posts by 2090 but I'll probably surpass Markham today. ;)

**ziggy53** · Dec-19-2008, 06:22 AM

Welcome David.

What was your favorite wedding to shoot?

What sets you and your style of photography apart from your competition?

geospatial_junkie · Dec-19-2008, 06:33 AM

Welcome to dgrin and smugmug David! I'm sure we could all learn a thing or two from you.

Thanks for all your help also with Showit sites. I still have to iron out a lot of details, but I placed my new site at:http://pridhamphotography.com. I am using Smugmug now as my client proofing.

Once again, smugmug has raised the bar.

This was kind of a funny situation b/c the groom really wanted to do this shot, and I'm always up for whatever they're up for, but the brides heals were a recipe for disaster so one of the groomsmen let her borrow his shows which makes the shot hilarious! The couple loves the image and I wish I could take credit for the idea but it was all them.

I've gotta blast out for a couple of meetings this morning but I'll be back on this afternoon. Sweet!

Happy Friday!
DJ

Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!!

Can't wait to see you in the wedding forum

Haha, I'm gonna go and pack my stuff now

Blurmore · Dec-19-2008, 12:06 PM

Yeah I was wondering what was up after I saw he made a few responses in the forum. I was like damn he's a big dog to be barking up these alleys. Glad to have you, welcome to smugmug, now all you have to do is start swinging a "smug strap" like I do at my jobs ;P. Maybe you would consider taking some of the more experienced wedding shooters as seconds when you are in our areas? Just a thought. I live in Bodymore Murdaland but I'll travel to the district for the opportunity.
