I asked the fabulous David Jay, top photographer, speaker and educator a few questions recently when we were preparing for him to participate in The Joy to the World Websummit. David is one of the 28 incredible speakers at our FREE event on December 28, 2009. This photo was taken in his first office. We all start somewhere, even the famous David Jay!
