Never in a million years would I do this at my wedding, but that’s what makes this video terrific.It’s authentic, fun ... and funny. Five minutes is enough to learn to like these people and wish you were there. What a great gift to their future. Cheers, Ian PS if you're having trouble viewing it, try watching it here.

Meet Dave and Alianor, a tattoo artist from Atlanta, and a Catholic girl from Michigan. Tim Will shot their wedding in Atlanta last year. I could tell you about how the bridal party smoked and drank heavily before the ceremony, or that they carried guns with their names inscribed on the handles, or that the bride married in black. But I won't. Tim's images can do the talking... Instead, I'd rather highlight this album as a great example of how an anything-but-traditional wedding can fit so beautifully into a Queensberry. We're proud that our albums are so flexible and diverse. And that our album To View More >>

Even though I tend to ignore MS Word's spelling and grammar checker, I do try really hard to avoid making mistakes. But if I slip up the world doesn't end, and I sleep easy. I don't think it's such a good idea to ignore Nana PJ though, because she's trying to ensure I get a first class album back ... and ordering a second-rate album can be annoying, slow and really expensive. A bit like a cringe-inducing spelling mistake in your new print job. Here's Nana PJ on the job (click on the images to view them full size) ... 1.

Version 1.27 turned up the other day .... in the usual way, unannounced, with the usual set of promises, and a small degree of suggestive insistence. I downloaded the update as requested and at first paid little attention to what might have changed ... Then I noticed the absence of the album specs from the Tools window ... Thinking I had misplaced them I soon realised that they had been relocated. What a great idea that is! Now the flowchart approach works simply and logically, tries to minimise the potential for idiocy and is much less mysterious. Suddenly I feel that PJ has moved on from being To View More >>

Thanks Heather. Cheers, Ian To View More >>

As promised, here's a video Ian, Akshay and I recorded showing you PJ's new simplified and streamlined workflow, as well as the new interface that's been implemented in this version. Click here to check out 1.27 (13 mins) I'll post another video soon showing you how to send a design order to Queensberry. It's so easy you'll be astounded - no kidding.

"Let’s start out with a universal truth. A digital photograph costs nothing. Nothing to make, nothing to store, nothing to transfer and nothing to see..." Now we have your attention, there's an interesting and thoughtful post about pricing on Lighting Essentials. Thank you to @PicSeshu for pointing it out. Cheers, Ian To View More >>

The industrious PJ developers have certainly been busy. They've just posted another new beta that builds on the last release, v1.26. Put them together and we have a transformation. Ever since we first released Remix we've been asked to simplify and streamline the workflow, and we believe we've done that here. As you can see from the screen shot, album set-up has been transformed - reduced to a single screen that can gather up all the information an album vendor needs to make your album (click on the images to see them full-size). This particular screen shot is to order a Queensberry, but the options To View More >>

Continuing our tour of the major new features in the latest beta, check out this movie on Queensberry Connects about the FTP functionality we've built into v1.26b. We've added an upload function to the Order Wizard so you no longer need LabFTP. It's automatic, so you don't need to think about it – Remix just uploads everything the supplier needs. Even our resident geeks like not having to think for themselves. Occasionally. Cheers, Ian PS The Order Wizard only works with participating album suppliers - we're happy to talk to yours!

Remember your first time? Doing whatever. Maybe photographing your first wedding? Years back when Subway turned up in New Zealand it took me 10 minutes and enough questions to drive mum up the wall to finally place my order. Why? Because I didn't know how. I've just committed to spending a lot of money on our wedding photography, but before I did, I was nervous. Not so much because of the money, but because I wasn't sure what I'd get for it. It was my first time. I'm in the industry, talk to photographers all the time, and write articles about marketing and business every day.  But I still felt To View More >>
