Some Comments About Reviews with Brooks Jensen Thank you for sharing your insights and advice regarding my project. I really needed a fresh perspective on the work. Thank you as well for the audio file of our discussion. This consultation was something I had been thinking about doing for some time – so glad I followed through!  Thank you so much for the insight and advice you shared on my photography the other day. I've just absorbed the recording for a second time and there are several things that will occupy my thoughts going forward. Thanks again for the consultation. You have inspired me to work harder and also design a new strategy for showing and selling my work. I just listened to it again and my mind is already churning with new ideas. Thanks to you for your valuable insight. You really made me see and think about some new aspects of my project. I'm sure the end product will be stronger as a result. Another extraordinary eConsultation. And again, you've sent me on a creative path of discovery. I'm indebted to you for your constancy and commitment to the community of photographers.  Thank you very much. I'm excited about things after having talked to you. I appreciate the help. I see everything we talked about and your solutions very helpful. My confidence has expanded greatly. Now I will get to work with the plan you laid out. I am looking toward the future.

Podcast #840 - The Test of Time, Part 2

The Test of Time, Part 2

I cannot tell you how many conversations I've had with photographer who express their confidence that someday — some far distant day in the future — they are certain there will be an audience for their work. This assumes — does it not? — that one's work will pass the test of time.
