Why Photo Allies?

Photo allies. What does that mean to me? I picked that name because I feel like we're all in this together. It's about solidarity.

I didn't come up with that idea. My inspiration came from amazing people like David Hobby, creator of the now world famous blog www.strobist.com He has contributed so much to the photography community!

He started a blog almost two years ago about off-camera lighting. He simply posted information he thought would be useful to others. Well it literally created a revolution. Now millions of photographers read his blog regularly. Check it out here if you haven't already!

Another great guy in the blogosphere, as they call, is Chase Jarvis. That guy makes mad money as a commercial photographer and he has no secrets for anyone. He reveals it all in his little videos. His talks are awesome. He's such a positive, inspirational influence.

Then we have John Harrington, the business guru. He has a photography business blog where he just breaks it down for all to understand. His book, 'Best Business Practices for Photographers' is a must-read as well. He lectures about business at ASMP seminars. The guy just knows how to run a successful photography business and he's not afraid to let everyone know how he does it.

Yes this is the Web 2.0 folks. Come be a part of it !!

Greg, those are great sites. You forgot to mention how you started an OC chapter of Strobist. I can not believe how much can be done with flash. I would never use my flash because I thought it was ugly light now with a few techniques in Strobist ugly light is beautiful light.
