"Who am I? Who are you? That is to say, 'Who are you really?' Do you know? Does anyone know? The restraints of this society make us put up so many walls of bullshit and facades to hide who we are that it is almost impossible to tell who anyone really is. We dig ourselves into a comfortable hole to hide away from the eyes of our peers, and it's in this hole that we bury ourselves. Dig yourselves out. Claw your way back into the light of day. Let your true self breathe, and in doing that, live." -P.G.

This is me, digging out.

    "Her photos are some of my genuine favorites on flickr. She always has a variety, she always edits everything so nicely, and the pictures could not be any better. I would favorite them all more than once and put them on front page of explore. But I guess the closest I can get to doing that is writing her a totally awesome testimonial :).

    never put down your camera.
    your photos are an inspiration."

    "An amazing artist who has transcended the portrait into a stylistic window to the soul. Telepathic eyes that lead to a yearning heart with a lust for life and expression. With vivid images and multimedia offerings Ari's work is able to capture a feeling, time and place that is refreshing in a world that is often dark and bleak. One can only look forward to see what will transpire in the days to come."

    "I don't meet her, nevertheless, she has achieved to communicate me more than the majority. Her expressions, her eyes, her smile, ... her photos, full of heart, of soul, of feelings...
    I could say that I think she will be a great artist, but, it wouldn't be all the truth...
    The truth is that I think she already is a brilliant artist."

    "arianna is a natural beauty who takes wonderful -not cheesy at all- shots of scenery, nostalgic pictures, loved ones, and herself. 'shesacoustic,' rather than say, an electricguitar, is the perfect name for this subtle lady as she most certainly has a musical quality to her pictures that is not ugly nor noisy: just bliss."
