Podcast Description
Random Observations on Art, Photography, and the Creative Process. These short 2-4 minute talks focus on the creative process in fine art photography. LensWork editor Brooks Jensen side-steps techno-talk and artspeak to offer a stimulating mix of ideas, experience, and observations from his 35 years as a fine art photographer, writer, and publisher. Topics include a wide range of subjects from finding subject matter to presenting your work and building an audience. Brooks Jensen is the publisher of LensWork, one of the world's most respected and award-winning photography publications, known for its museum-book quality printing and luxurious design. LensWork is sold in over 1500 stores in the USA and has subscribers in 62 countries. His latest books are "Letting Go of the Camera" (2004) and "Single Exposures" (2005).

LW0737 - Recognition | Applause for one's work is such a pleasant thing. To hold it as one of your artistic goals, however, is placing the cart before the proverbial dead horse. | 2/6/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

LW0736 - Your Best Print | Of course the prints you make in a few years will be better than those you make today. You will grow and mature in your artistic vision and skills. But, not if you postpone making that print today because you know it won't be your best-ever print, eventually. Your "best" is a process, not a destination. | 2/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

LW0735 - What We See That Others Might Not, Part 2 | If we fail to be the docent for our own work, who is the audience who can understand it? | 1/31/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

LW0734 - What We See That Others Might Not, Part 1 | With our incredibly trained photographic eyes, doesn't it make sense that we might be able to see subtleties in our photographs that others do not? If so, whose responsibility is it to help them gain access and understand our work? | 1/26/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

LW0733 - You Suck | Criticism is inevitable. Really, you can't possibly avoid it if you decide to produce anything and then share it with the public. It is not too early to start developing a bit of a thick skin. | 1/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Inspiring and thoughtful
Lenswork Magazine is the finest photography magazine, bar none. It has superb photographs and thoughtful essays about photography. These podcasts are in the same tradition, thought provoking and inspiring short essays on why we photograph. I would not miss a single one. Start from the beginning if you can, they are worth it.
Get off the high horse
While I generally enjoy this podcast the occasional episode comes along where Bruce pulls out the over the top belittling that just drives me nuts. You can tell when he starts his pompous snickering that you are better off skipping that episode. If he’s not blowing his own horn though there are some interesting nuggets of thought that come along.
Short but brilliant!
Brooks Jensen's random thoughts about photography are brilliant and thought provoking observations that every person with an intrest in photography should listen to. Brooks is truely a great word smith in addition to a very skilled photographer and one cannot help but be inspired by his words.
