Jim Harris Studios Slide Show

This has been something in the works for a while now. I've been wanting to put a slide show of my most current work together that also includes some general information about the studio. Most of my inquiries are by email and for the past year I've answered and followed up in a variety of ways. Now I think I can send this slide show link and feel that the bases are covered.

This has all come together at a pretty good time. Just yesterday I found out I was accepted into the WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist's Association). I don't belong to any other trade organizations, but I felt that this was one I wanted to be in. This was my third time applying so I was happy to finally get in.

This organization is also particular about music licensing. So instead of using commercial music for my slide show I asked my friend Matt in LA to write a short piece for me. I gave him a sense of the mood I was looking for and he went at it and came up with this piece of music. I like it more every time I listen to it...and I've listened to it about a hundred times now as I've put the slide show together. If you haven't been to Matt's website, check out all the shows he's written music for. To sit in his studio and watch this dude make music, like I did a couple weeks ago, is a sight to see. He's like a conductor of an orchestra except there is no orchestra, just keyboards, computer screens, mixing boards and a music software samples. I guarantee that if you watch TV even a little bit, you've already heard his music.

At any rate, the slide show is embedded on the blog, but I'd recommend clicking the link here to watch the HD version. The slideshow will also be linked to the JIMHARRISSTUDIOS.COM site.
