Hi everyone, I find formality with an introduction via the web strange. All the focus on me and I and my is a bit overwhelming, but here it goes none the less.
My name is John Ciotti, I reside in Los Angeles California, US. I'm a designer for one of LA's largest interactive agencies and a professional product, environment, and celeb photographer. I've been in the hobby for the better part of my life, worked in the industry for over a decade and recently felt I had enough. So now that the industry is behind me I can focus on what I truly love again, making beautiful layouts, designing and living life. A bit more on my history in regard to aquaria. I've worked with the likes of Jeff and Mike Senske of ADG, contributed and featured in a few TFH and AquaJournal magazines and helped bring a few companies to market like Ecoxotic (the aquarium LED light manufacture).
So enough of that and on to a few pictures.
A picture from a couple years back of Mr. Amano and myself
An AquaJournal magazine covering my winning from the 2008 AGA Iron Aquascaping Challenge
My most recent marine aquaria layout
And of course my very simple and somewhat boring current aquatic plant layout fresh from a trimming. Commonly refereed to as my "return from scaping hiatus minimal effort sympathy aquarium".
Of course the 720p HD video to accompany the photograph
So hopefully you stuck through that. I'm glad I finally signed up over here as I might be able to learn something or share without butting heads like I do with the Americans.
