HT2377 - Why Not Everywhere?
HT2377 - Why Not Everywhere?
There are so many places that have become photographic hot spots. It seems that everyone rushes off to these iconic landscapes. But what about the landscape where you live, or where photographers don't seem to appreciate? I maintain that everywhere has photographic potential. I mean that, EVERYWHERE.

HT2376 - No Fall Colors
HT2376 - No Fall Colors
A podcast listener has written saying that it's too bad my travels will not allow me to photograph the fall colors of northern Minnesota. True, but the creative spirit knows that every day, every moment, every location is an opportunity to express our vision if we can only be sensitive to what we find whenever we are out with our cameras.

HT2375 - Focal Lengths That Fit Our Vision
HT2375 - Focal Lengths That Fit Our Vision
Our photographic vision is often limited to the focal length lenses we own and carry with us. I don't remember a time I had no restrictions — until now. With me on this trip I have focal lengths from 16mm to 800mm (35mm equivalent) and three cameras. Is this too much? Or, will I find that having all these lenses opens possibilities I wouldn't ordinarily have?

The workshop scene has changed since I attended my first workshops in the early 1980s. I discussed this in one of my podcasts that was posted in 2017. I know not all of you have been following my podcast since its beginning in 2006, so this week I'm reposting that podcast to whet your whistle about this upcoming workshop in Durango, Colorado.

Über LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process
Random Observations on Art, Photography, and the Creative Process. These 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 50 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.
Included in this RSS Feed are the LensWork Podcasts — posted weekly, typically 10-20 minutes exploring a topic a bit more deeply — and our almost daily Here's a thought… audios (extracted from the videos.) Here's a thought… are snippets, fragments, morsels, and tidbits from Brooks' fertile (and sometimes swiss-cheesy) brain. Usually just a minute or two. Always about photography and the art life.
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 has subscribers in over 73 countries. He is the author of 13 books on photography and the creative life -- the latest books are The Best of the LensWork Interviews (2016), Photography, Art, and Media (2016), and the four annual volumes of Seeing in SIXES (2016-2019).
