JA PHOTOBLOG LAUNCH

I hate the term relaunch. Implies what was there before didn't work. Updates are good. Folks, I have returned to my roots as a photographer after Wall Street "freed up my future" last year. I started taking pictures at age 7 and never stopped, so this is nothing new to me. I have never been busier.

This is an update. Friends tell me "I don't know what he does." Here is my current Website along with 1000+ photos to view for fun and purchase on-line. www.JohnAres.com

The last 16 months have been a labor of love assembling the archive behind the scenes (always, from now into infinity), finding a capable e-commerce site, figuring that I want a T-shirt site (least developed), plus the archive and a password protected place for photos of family, friends and fiends.

Along the way, a Photo Tip page popped up for Beginners and Intermediates. Some time after that, a more Advanced Series of peer reviewed White Pages has materialized for pros. This will be the basis for a Workshop being presented at the Meadowlands Convention Center in NJ in 2010.

The latest addition is the John Ares Photographic BLOG. I have the vision of this being a resource for improving your photography. Tell me what you would like to see here. How do you want to improve your photos? So far it is mostly collection of articles I wrote, that have been published in DivePhotoGuide.com (DPG). DPG is perhaps the webs largest resource for Underwater Photographers.
