Farewell Ian

Our dear friend, Ian.

Most of you haven’t met him, but there’s a good chance he’s saved your bacon once or twice.

Ian Cameron has been a crucial member of the Photojunction team, and is leaving us to head back down-the-line to his home town.

The trend in the tech industry is to skip jobs every 18 months or so looking for the new best thing, but that hasn’t been the case for us and certainly not for Ian. Ian has been with us for 6 years, I hazard a guess he’s answered over 40,000 emails and 12,000 phone calls! This doesn’t include tireless work on resources, bug busting, and in the ol’ days, CD burning.

Ian, mate – thanks for the years and years of support, and we wish you the absolute best going forward.

Cheers

Danny (on behalf of everyone at Photojunction and Queensberry)

PS If Ian has helped you out once or twice and left an impression please let him know by leaving a comment.

PPS Looking forward to our Final Kebab!

    Thanks heaps, Ian. One thing I could always rely on at trade shows and seminars was people giving me the credit for being you! Good luck and thank you.

  • paulsanders

    Best wishes for your continued success, Ian. I cannot thank you enough for the many times you helped me with one PJ issue or other. Of course, the problems invariably were on my end! You have always been patient, clear, responsive, and effective. You will be missed by many.

    Kind regards,

    Ian has helped me many times, I will miss our conversations. He has been the definition of a good friend, and I will miss him. I only wish I had been able to make good on my threat to come and visit NZ and sleep on his couch while I was there. LOL!!

    Cheers Ian!

    Oh my goodness, what a loss for PJ and for us! Ian, I'm that girl in Connecticut that waits patiently for your call back with the silliest questions–your call always comes and you always fix everything. Thank you SO MUCH for your help and support, you will be missed!

  • http://www.wildphotography.co.nz/ Tim Wild

    Ian's answered dozens or maybe even hundreds of my questions over the years, many at ridiculous times at night, and he's always come though with a solution or answer. Thanks for all your help Ian, and good luck with whatever you decide to do next!

    IAN! You have saved my ass on SEVERAL occasions. Best of life to you in your future venture. You will be loved wherever you land.
    Cheers mate!

    Wow Ian, congratulations. No surprise to me that people feel this way, but these comments say it all. You've certainly been appreciated and you will really be missed. Service is a funny thing, especially IT support. It's often hard to realise that you are appreciated at they time as all you hear is from people with “issues” but clearly form these messages you are. Certainly you are by us.

    I also just wrote this on Facebook ….

    I enjoyed reminiscing with you yesterday about your job interview a few days after we had brought the lab … Wow that was 6 years ago.

    I'm really proud of what we have achieved together over that time and how you have grown as a person. You have been an important person in our success and although things will continue you will certainly be missed.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

    Oh, yeah … Ian ha definitely saved my bacon or as we say in the US, my “@$$” He will be missed. In the last two weeks, as I was getting to know Photojunction (all over again), he came to the rescue very very very patiently explaining what I could be doing wrong or if it was a technical issue/buggy behavior, passing it on the right folks to get back to me. He was great at what he did. I always enjoyed his professional demeanor.

  • berniebg

    Ian has been fantastic for solving my many problems especially in the early Photojunction days. Thank you Ian for all your patience .You are truly a tech god. All the best in the future.

    I'll echo Sonya's comment – during my time as account manager you were always helpful in solving my PJ issues and my clients issues. If you didn't know the answer you'd find out, or if we found a problem you'd get programmers to solve it. You'll be missed – I'll have to skype with Christine now. Thanks for your hard work, your efforts are appreciated.

  • Chetan

    Hey Ian…It was a pleasure working with you. Wishing you all the very best for your future. The coffee mews Trivia would not be the same anymore.

  • Akshay

    Ian .. all the very best for your future endeavours. It was absolutely great working with you. Good luck mate …

  • Simon

    Ian my man, is certainly sad to see you leave. Whenever I need your help, you always answer without hesitation. You are indeed the best support person I have ever seen. Surely with such work attitude, you will be a valuable asset to any company. Not to mention they will also instantly receive a “human wikipedia” bonus. (I still cannot believe you beat me on that quiz game on my phone,champ). It was good to have you in the PJ team. Good luck with your life, all the best.
    seeeee-mon, akkkkkkkshay, and cheeeeetan will miss you.

  • Lucy Bernabei

    Ian – you must be proud seeing how many of us having loved working with you. Thank you again for all the times you have helped me and my team. Best of luck for your future role.

  • Gail Regan

    Hi Ian, the time has come around way too fast.. So sorry to see you go.
    You have helped us out on many occasions. You will be missed so much by us and also the customers that call and ask for you. Your service has been absolutely brilliant.
    Best wishes on your new adventure and please come and visit us when you come North.
    Good luck for the future.

    Ian – I cant believe you are leaving! What will we do without you!!!! A HUGE thank you for all your support over the years right since the early days of PJ. Will miss your “always reliable” voice at the other end of the phone.
