THE ITDR TEAM
Theta Interactive Inc was a custom web development firm that specialized in flash applications and websites for clients like Logitech, Bristol Myers Squibb, Ubi-Soft, Nike and others. ITDR started as a spin-off project after making a Flash slideshow for photographer and friend, Jay Reilly.
Word spread and one month later we had sold slideshows to over 100 photographers. Soon we started to release new products that were well received by our clients. In 2008, the ITDR project became the main focus of Theta Interactive’s business. We plan on releasing new products for a long time thanks to all of those who helped us get here and love our applications as much as we do.

This company all started out by accident. I have my good friends Jay and Mike to thank for that. Mike made a cool slideshow and Jay pushed me to open it up for sale specifically to photographers. One day we had 3 clients and a month later we were pushing 100! But the best part is…the clients. I have had so much fun working with all of you and meeting some of you at the WPPI. Photographers are some of the easiest clients to work with. You appreciate our hard work and always send us love. Thanks for letting us do what we love…make cool stuff.

yo! i’m the guy behind the guy (behind the guy). jay tells me one day he needs a slideshow, so i figure, "hey, i’m a web geek that doesn’t use capitalization, i can do this for you good buddy". next thing i know, anthony and jay have branded it, called it "slideshare" and come up with more cool products for me to build. so, while i don’t know much about photography, rest assured that all the darkroom products will be built with bleeding-edge technology written in efficient, object-oriented programming to leverage the most of your user’s hardware, resources and bandwidth, not to mention being standards-compliant and search engine friendly where appropriate. ya, i’m a web geek.

Joining the IntoTheDarkroom team was my first step on the way to be becoming addicted to photography. I love helping our clients successfully set up their first SLIDESHARE, PHOTOPROOF, and SNAPSITE. Not to mention-seeing the finished product. I am glad to work with a such a fun bunch of people and have the opportunity to be exposed to art on a day to day basis. I look forward to meeting many of you at the WPPI this year. Keep making the web a beautiful place and send me your links! I want to see!

Werd! IntoTheDarkroom Newbie, here. I’ve always found that my ‘niche’ lay in photography and within the last year or so, have acquired quite a fascination with web development and it’s endless capablities. It is really a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with such a stellar group of people who’ve incorporated BOTH. I’m stoked to be here and eager to help. We’ll get you to ‘Pro-Status’ working with your PhotoProof, SlideShare and SnapSite applications. I may have to call you with a question or two! Lets chat!
JAY REILLY
My business relationship with Michael and Anthony spans many years of work for high profile commercial clients. That is why I went to them when I needed a new slide show product. I told them how I wanted it and we birthed the first product. I like working with ITDR because, as a photographer, I know our needs and ITDR knows how to build it. From concept to delivery, I have helped sculpt these products the way I know photographers want them. We are always coming up with new ideas and refining old ones to make sure they are what photographers need. Together we are creating some of the most powerful solutions for the modern photographer.

I have been involved with many businesses selling many products. When Anthony asked me to join the team I knew nothing about technology or photography. But when I went to the WPPI and got to know many of our clients and how much they loved our products, I was sold. These products are the easiest to sell because they sell themselves. Lets face it…they were designed by photographers for photographers. So, give me a call and let’s make a deal and get you the products you know you need!

I joined the ITDR team about a year ago when they approached me to use my sweet blog-building skills to build a custom blog product to offer photographers. The result: Photoblogs! Creating these blogs is a treat, but working with this amazing team makes it ten times better. I haven’t ‘worked’ a single day since joining the team and I don’t plan on starting : ). Keep blogging, y’all!

As a visual person, it goes without saying that I enjoy photography. I also have an affinity for sweet technology that makes things look cool with minimal effort. So bringing those to elements together well, it doesn’t get much better. I’ve been a connoisseur of aesthetics since childhood and as a designer at ITDR, I’m the person that helps get your product looking just right. I’m not satisfied until you are so lets make it beautiful!"
