BNI Breakfast Club

jonstanleyphotography — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:26:11 +0000

Last Friday morning I woke up unusually early for me ( 6 a.m ) to go to a breakfast networking meeting. I was invited along by a current member and found it extremely informative and potentially helpfull. Have a look at this website for more details BNI Cheltenham. Unfortuantely I am unable to jon at this time, but if anyone else knows of any business networking opertunites then please let me know.

I want to see how this works

jonstanleyphotography — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:20:04 +0000

I’ve been thinking about it for a long time now, and finally I’ve decided to do something about it!!!! I need to make my life as simple and stress free as possible in a technological sense. It seems that however I try to make my life easier I always seem to making it more difficult as of late. I need to simplify the way I blog, update my website and general workflow of my photography. I now have Tave Studio Manager to track all my Weddings, Portraits & Events ( This is a web app ) Lightroom for managing my photographic workflow and now it seems that the WordPress admin web app seems to do all the things I have everwanted! Both Tave & WordPress have apps that work on my ipod touch aswell, so this all seems to tie in…. Well there is one thing that seems to tie everything in, a small 6 inch by 4 inch black notebook with squares on the pages… It seems that the only way I can organise everything is to write it down in an old fashioned notebook!!!! So it seems that tradition is not yet dead???????

Fine Art Photography

jonstanleyphotography — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:34:01 +0000

Before I started working as a photographer I always liked to take photographs of landscapes, trees, flowers that sort of thing. Nowadays I find myself wanting to do more and more of this so I decided to add a ‘Fine Art’ section to my website. More will come of this next year but for now it is just a start. Here is one of my favorite images from my last walkabout.

Who Do I Ask?????

jonstanleyphotography — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:51:00 +0000

Just a quick post to say hello to you all out there. My main thought of the day is….

Who do you ask for when you need to add extra hours to your day and do they do a discount on cloning????

Random I know but it’s just the way my brain is today…

I will be back with some picture soon

I Promise

Hi All

I am sorry but I have been so busy over the last few months with changes, new ideas, a new helpfull volunteer that came along just when she was needed, event photography, etc etc I could go on and on. Anyway over the next few months I plan even more developments and plan to have my macbook attached to my body at all times, and get this blogging thing rolling properly.

I want a nice template for my blog but I am very stuck with original templates. Anybody got any ideas?
