my shameless plug - share me with someone!

February 5, 2009

Hi Everyone! Over the years I have developed a pretty large network of friends, colleagues, readers and creative professionals that frequent this blog or my other circles of existence, facebook, twitter my web sites... whatever.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to ask that if you do read this blog if maybe you can share it with others that might have an interest. If you happen to know a creative professional that might need a photographer, please send them this link. Sometimes people might not even know who my market is but any Marketing Directors, Public Relation Directors, Art Directors, Graphic Designers, Interactive Designers, Photo Editors or Art Buys. Some of what i do is catalog work, annual reports, web site images, corporate assets, editorial images, fashion and portraits.

Thanks so much for the support and to make it interesting and fun, here are some things in return for the effort...comment below and i will pull the names and put them in a hat. Pull and name and the winner gets one free workshop of your choice(www.jayreillyworkshops) and an Aurora 5x5 fine art book - Aurora Photos - Found Moments and Conceived Images.

thanks so much! some recent beach pics... thanks!!
