I am usually the one giving the workshop(photo) but it was certainly refreshing to go to a workshop and be on the other side of it all! This was a great event put on by the Southern California Drum Society which seems to have a pretty active sereis of workshops. The trio performing and teaching are, Bob Boss(guitar), Gunnar Biggs(bass), and Duncan Moore(drums). Bob and Gunnar are my guitar and bass teachers.
It’s on. Premier opening of Surface. Swing by Saturday evening 7-11 p.m., July 31st to see original artwork by Jay Reilly and Myles McGuinness. Free beer and wine with live music by The Red Fox Tails. RSVP here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=137501542937947&ref=ts

Kids have such great facial expressions, if you can capture them (Like you can) then you definitely can do anything.

Children just can’t keep still! It’s nice to capture that and they’re expression, it’s mostly so innocent!

Hey Everyone!
Did a super fun wedding the other day and shot some portraits at the end of the night… a pretty fun crew…








So I feed a lot of my family snapshots into stock and its cool to see one hit a homerun. This one of my son Brooks licensed for $2000 this month which was nice to see. You can never rely on just one image a month to pay off, but when you have 1000s in the market, it has started to really payoff in a consistant level. I am recharged to get out there and start shooting again.
thanks brooks!

What a cute photo!
-
what a treat! = )
Always nice to see your images in the finished piece! The design sent over a PDF from my CHOC shoot like 6 months ago. Its inspired me to add a resolution to my shooting schedule this year….really want to chase those institutions that have money, value great photography and NEED great photography. Schools, universities, health care, hospitals and pharmaceuticals…hear i come! I should writes some of the goals down…right!? Who are you shooting this year?
Happy New Year!

Jay, I think your approach is all wrong. Why target those with money? Is that your main goal in life, to chase money? Your love of money will not bring you happiness. How about turning it around, and targeting institutions, companies, charities that have NO money. Put your skills to use in areas that are in NEED. Youll receieve a far better blessing within yourself than that of money. The world is all about money, its greed, its jealousy. Turn it around, and let your photography be a FREE blessing to others.

Great swing shot. No I want to take my kids to the park.

Mark – How VERY little you know…blessing someone, a group, a company, puts MORE than petrol in a car…if you want to live your life selfishly or love money, it may keep you for a while in material things, but it wont last, and at the end of your life you will have learnt nothing, none other than to please yourself. Man…how you DONT know what will be waiting for you…
-
ah, nevermind
-
What a great looking piece – that’s work to be proud of. And I LOVE your goal for the year.
-
Love the look of this piece – Somebody deserves an A+ for hiring you to shoot this project. I LOVE your goal for the year.
-
Jay, you are seriously neglecting your blog !!!.
-
Chris, if you dont want your money… feel free to give it all to me. I have some good use for it

Jay/s approach is good – needs to feed his family. Just sad that you have nothing better to do in life then to blog at 4AM in the morning bitching on what other people are doing. What are you doing Chris?? -
WOW…Chris, you really have NO clue do you!?!
-
come back, Jay….i miss your photo inspirations.
So I have really wanted to do more fun family sessions but just have not had the time for it, but I did manage to squeeze in some friends and this is Matt and Jessica and their family of 4. Matt is a good friend of mine from Penn State, back in the day.

-
