The Junction


Archive for the ‘Chatter’ Category

Check out this email we received from one enterprising Photojunction user:

“FYI I just designed a 6ft car logo in Photojunction and it worked great. I suggest expanding your business to more than just albums!”

That’s certainly taking the meaning of ‘flexible’ to a whole new level.

Do you have a similar story about how you’ve used Photojunction to do something a bit ‘out of the ordinary’? We’d love to hear about it – let us know.

Cheers, Nigel

PS Danny tells me he once talked to a Doctor who used Photojunction to display medical images…

Have you heard that funny story Danny tells about how far PJ has come? How it was originally developed by a one guy in a cupboard? And that poor guy had to answer the phone as well? Stretching it a bit, Danny, but not much…

Anyway, if you’ve been with PJ since Day One you’ll remember that guy, Pavan … and maybe how worried you were that the wheels would fall off when he left to further his career! Well the wheels didn’t fall off (thank you Sepehr) but we’ve kept in touch with Pavan, who’s an awesome young man.

Recently we were privileged to support (enthusiastically) his application for Oxford University’s MBA programme, and we’ve just heard he has been accepted.

Congratulations, Pavan – you’re the man.

Cheers, Ian, Stephen, Danny and all Team PJ.

Pavan’s at vyas.pavan@gmail.com and on Facebook

Danny and Stephen are in geek heaven. Here’s another bleet update from WPPI…

 @PJ_Danny – had an incredible session with a whole bunch of PJ Pros. Heard some amazing stuff – like people designing 300 page albums in PJ!

Cheers, Nigel

There’s probably a lot of you not on Twitter yet, but Twitter’s how Stephen and Danny are letting us know how they’re going in Vegas,  so I’m bringing Twitter to blogging!

Tweet-blogging‘ is the art of blogging in under 140 characters, and each message is a ‘Bleet‘ (a tweet on a blog). For example…

Want to catch up at WPPI? Follow Danny on Twitter (PJ_Danny), visit stand 1241 or email him at danny@photojunction.com.

Here’s another one…

Murphy’s law – the guy’s display screen dies the morning of the show. Luckily they’re able to grab a replacement in the nick of time!

I’ll keep bleeting and let you know how they’re getting on – I hear poker might be on the cards tonight ;)

Cheers, Nigel

Happy New Year!

Hope you’ve enjoyed a break from work and managed to spend time with your friends and family.

2009 looks set to be interesting, changes in world leadership, economic policies, spending habits and a whole bunch of really important stuff that will have an influence on how people live day to day.

It’s not all doom and gloom though, and there’s plenty of advice on the Queensberry blog from veterans suggesting ways to weather the storm.

And remember PJ’s annual subscription is zero now, so delete the line for album planning software from your budget and go out to tea (that’s dinner here) “on us” ;-)

Cheers, Danny (on behalf of Team PJ)

Ed te Pas used his photoshop skills for this cheeky image.

Thanks again mate.

Johannes and Jo of Moda Fotografica  sent this clever shot through to us.

I was lucky enough to try their local Lyttelton coffee shop when I was speaking at an NZIPP meeting a few months back, and the coffee much, like the town, was just charming.

Thanks guys!

We asked some of our friends to help us get some shots of PJ in their corner of the world.

Here’s your first installment of “Where Is PJ Remix?”

Angelique Buckley of mk photography, one of our dedicated beta testers, took this wonderful shot for us of “Growth Rings” by Kate Kaman in Philadelphia.

Angelique said, “It seemed like the perfect spot to put the button. I see these circles everyday, so it was the first thing I thought of when I received the letter asking for a photo of the button in “my neck of the woods”. It also seemed so appropriate given how far the application has come.”

Doing my research I also found this video:

Thanks again Angelique!

Can’t believe Danny and Stephen interrupted a perfectly legit wedding to grab this shot (in Switzerland)

Our ‘PJ Remix Loves U‘ promo is over, but our little button has been popping up all over the place. Which means we’ve been giving away heaps of 12-month PJ Remix subs.

Thanks to all those who posted a review. Here are some of our favs…

- Top marks to Karen Dahlquist from Happyfish. Not only was she one of the first to review, but also one of most in-depth. Karen runs a design service with PJ, in case you’re tempted.

- Dean Kaus raved about PJ Remix on his blog – flexible is our middle name ;)

- Vito Amati shared how PJ Remix fits into and streamlines his workflow

- Jennifer Bowen from Jennifer Bowen Photography gave us a run down of some of her favourite PJ Remix features (including it’s drag-and-drop interface, export functionality and template management). 

Thanks again to all those who reviewed.
