Ashtabula Star Beacon
“(A Photographer’s Guide to Ohio) is the kind of book that can’t be written with only a few months of research. Ian had to draw on all his experience as Ohio’s best landscape photographer. That’s nearly four decades of hard but rewarding work.… The book … is equal parts travel guide, digital photography primer, history book, and, last but certainly not least, a compendium on some of the best places to shoot photos in Ohio.…”
The Mirror
“Few people are more intimately acquainted with Ohio’s natural places, its wild life, rural communities, and cities than Ian Adams. And few people are better qualified to record these points of interest and splendor than Ian Adams. A Photographer’s Guide to Ohio is engagingly written to help photographers improve their camera skills, but I treasure it most for its beautiful illustrations. Typical Ian Adams—a superb book.”
