ABOUT THIS BLOG
John Ares is a Photographer Advocate. He is not in the pocket of the industry but passionately wants all to improve. He believes that like most corporations, the industry leaders are not particularly responsive to individual customers. "Their vast market research knows better." This space aims to change that by encouraging reader participation and direct written communication with the suppliers of our products about our satisfaction and suggestions especially the fist fights and love fests among Canon, Apple, Epson and Abobe.
We also lean toward topics on Workflow and Creativity, and Nature Photography, Underwater Photography, and Travel Photography, so those topics will also appear here. The Resource Center is the left side panel that features lots of links to useful downloads and websites. The blog is a resource published by John Ares, LLC.

QUOTES
- "If you want pictures, shoot film. If you want work, shoot digital." - John Ares
- "Most things don't work like they're supposed to" - Philip Crosby
- “I wish I had a nickel every time someone told me ‘gee you have a great camera’ when I show them a print. Nobody ever asked an Author, ‘what word processing program did you use to write your novel?’” - Galen Rowell
- "If a day goes by without doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up." - Richard Avedon
- "First of all, if you have a camera around your neck, that's basically a license to explore." Jerry Uelsmann
- "He who dies with the best photo album wins! - Warren Miller
- Government & Corporations build rules, small businesses build. - John Ares
- "Photography is not like painting, there is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative," he said. "Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever." – Henri Cartier-Bresson
- "Photograph your life." - Deanne Delbridge
- "If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing." ~ B. Franklin
- "Live the life that you have imagined" - Thoreau
- "E-mail is not a substitute for communication" - John Ares
