about jar
There are three kinds of people in the world: ones that actually know who the heck Jar is; ones that have heard of or seen Jar, but find Jar too mysterious; and ones that have absolutely no idea who the heck Jar is. It is perfectly ok to be any of these, since I am not that famous for anything yet. But that's true that many of my friends have a feeling that Jar is here to rule the world. Whatever they believe, here, on this website, I am only the photographer. I am the one who believes "if in doubt, take pictures," and I am the observer, the creator, and mostly just someone living his peaceful life with a couple cameras. (if you are really just so eager to know who I really am, go check out my other websites.)
I shoot everything, anything. Mostly I take pictures of things around me, as my busy life doesn't really allow me to travel all that much and take all that gorgeous pictures like Ansel Adams. I take photography seriously, but I love to play around even more. I shoot 35mm, medium format, Polaroid, and digital. All these have been working great, but I adore the playfulness outside the camera the most.
It's not too hard to get into photography, and anyone can call himself a photographer as long as he is taking pictures. To me it's not about taking quality pictures but interesting pictures. Although photography has been disproved to be a valid mean of documentary in the modern era, I still believe, outside the content, the film nevertheless registers the photographer. So I love photography, and I practice photography.
Hope you enjoy this website, and don't forget to leave some comments on the guestbook!
