Happy to hear it

[@zoltanpuskas4722]

Yet another wonderful episode. Having been exposed to LensWork (and Brooks) many years ago I'm still enjoying his magazine and work. This episode was a great insight into his way of seeing. Well done, Jeff.

[@TheCritHouse]

Thanks Z. It was a great discussion

[@bizpixvegas7651]

I am speechless and inspired to no end. Brooks validates what I have been trying to do with my photography for all these years. I checked out his website and have shared this video with my friends. Storytelling, that is the key. Wow.

[@TheCritHouse]

So glad it hit home for you

Glad to hear it! I learned a lot too.

[@jimphilpott902]

Your guest is a calm and articulate voice in the world of photography. His encouragement to see "beyond" is rich and instructive. Good job.

[@TheCritHouse]

He is. Thanks, man.

[@NirSharon]

At first i thought you are talking to your brother .... great talk! thanks

[@TheCritHouse]

I wish!

[@richardlarsen5716]

An excellent inspiring video, thank you. The only problem I had with it is that it was to short.

[@TheCritHouse]

Glad you enjoyed it! I understand your comment about the length. We've been expanding the length of our episodes recently for just this reason.

[@richardlarsen5716]

@@TheCritHouse Thank you, I think even two hours of listening to Brooks Jenson for two hours would have felt to short for me.

[@almostgreen9498]

The story about the patches…wonderful! (You forgot the link to Cig Harvey)

[@TheCritHouse]

Oh, my. I'll correct that now. Sorry green.
