Journal

Welcome to the archive for The J. Day Journal, a periodic image journal showcasing Jerry Day’s photography.

About the Journal…

The Journal is presented as an anthology-style PDF that you can download for free and view on your computer, tablet, phone, or other devices. The base pages of the Journal use a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is common for many tablets but is also fully compatible with other devices. Some pages are formatted in a 16:9 aspect ratio, providing the best viewing experience when displayed full-screen on wide computer monitors.

My goal is to publish new editions of the Journal on a bi-monthly basis, but this may vary depending on the availability of project images and my Muse’s creativity.
