One on One with - David Jay

Prophotohub & David Jay....
B-DAY August-29

1) PPH: Where is home ??
  dj: Santa Barbara, CA
2) PPH:  How long have you been shooting ?? 
  dj: 8 Years

3) PPH: What camera gear do you use / and what's your favorite lens ?? 
  dj: I shoot with the Canon 1d Mark III but will soon be switching to the 5d to incorporate even more video.

4) PPH: Do you have a memorable wedding photography moment ??
  dj: I've been pretty fortunate to not have any crazy drama happen at a wedding but I did have a pretty wild story when I had to shoot a wedding in TN on Saturday and wedding in Pismo Beach, CA on Sunday and my plane broke down in Vegas and I had a to rent a car at 3am and drive all night straight to the next wedding and shoot it in the same clothes I shot in the day before. You can read the entire story here. http://www.opensourcephoto.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=145

5) PPH: First car? Today's car? What do you want in the future ??
  dj: 68 Buick Skylark, Acura TL, A bike :)

6) PPH: Is there anyone else in the "biz"  you enjoy shooting with? why? who would you like to shoot with ??
  dj: I love shooting with Becker. Super fun and energetic and it's a comedy show the entire day. I'd like to shoot with Steve and Jen Bebb. They are incredible as is Gene Higa

7) PPH: Where would you like to shoot that you haven't yet ??
  dj: I'd love to shoot in Dubai. That place is a world all its own and because I'm a male I wouldn't be able to document a lot of the weddings there but even just to go there to document what's being created would be incredible.

8) PPH: Where would be your dream " desti " location ??
  dj: Dubai :)

9) PPH: What good tips can you give to a photographer starting off today ??
  dj: Remember Dale Carnegie's famous words, "You'll go further in two months by becoming genuinely interested in just two other people than you will in two years of trying to get others interested in you."  Most photographers spend way to much time focusing on the art aspect of our business and that's good that they value this but overvaluing it is usually the thing that puts them out of business.  We need to become more interested in others and find ways to serve them. There will be a lot of photographers who don't even survive through the tough days ahead but there will be another group who will do more than survive and will succeed beyond imagination and I believe this success will come because of their ability to serve others.

10) PPH: What is the one approach / step that took your studio to where it is today ??
   dj: When I was 16 years old my dad sat me down and said, "David, if you truly make your business about helping other people you'll always have plenty of work." The same year I started my business I also started OpenSourcePhoto to help other photographers with their business. It was through this open sharing that everyone got better and the industry was changed as a result.

PPH: In your words any great projects / workshop / seminars / dvds /  in the works ??
   dj: I have two "Freedom and Slumber" workshops coming up in January and February which you can see on my website and I'd also suggest hitting up any of Gene Higa's workshops or the Bebbinars!

SimpleTech Duo Pro Hard Drive

SimpleTech Duo Pro Hard Drive Offers Do-All Quad I/O Interface

With its 1 Terabyte capacity (pre-formatting, 500 GB and 750 GB are also offered), the Duo Pro drive has ample capacity to accommodate Time Machine backups for a long time for most users. The 500 GB drive I’ve been using with Time Machine for the past year still has more than 200 GB free space.

However, that drive, a SimpleDrive Pininfarina unit, has a couple of shortcomings: first mine is USB 2 only (a USB/FireWire version is optionally available) — real-world slower than FireWire 400, and not conveniently and dependably bootable like a FireWire drive would be, and secondly the Maxtor 3.5″ drive inside it does a passable impression of a 767’s fanjets throttling up for takeoff. Not a problem for occasional backups, but tiresome when you keep it plugged in.
