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).

LW0564: Lost Family Photos
Published: 2009-10-19 13:37:53We all have photo albums that help us remember the times of our lives. But perhaps there is more we should do to make these artifacts meaningful to our progeny so the content of these photographs are not lost to future generations.

LW0563: The Opposite of Discouragement
Published: 2009-10-07 13:55:12There are so many ways we artists are discouraged in our creative pursuits, it is such a joy when encouragement arrives unexpectedly. Perhaps we can help one another by simply taking the time to say, "Atta boy!"

LW0562: The Seduction of Potential
Published: 2009-10-06 14:20:33I find I must guard against the accumulation of "potential" as opposed to the act of actually accomplishing something. A book owned but not read, a photography tool purchased but not used, a technique mastered but never employed in creation of artwork - these are all seductive in their potential, but useless if not used.

LW0561: Five Bucks for a Signature
Published: 2009-10-05 13:41:46I recently saw an advertisement for a new photography monograph for which the photographer charged an extra $5 for signing - a practice that I find odd, to say the least.

LW0558: The Pause Button
Published: 2009-09-10 12:00:43When reading a novel, do you feel like you've stopped time for the characters when you set it down in mid-story? Do you feel that way with a photography book?

LW0557: Engaging the World
Published: 2009-09-09 12:15:47The change in workflow relative to "previsualization" seems to offer us an opportunity to engage the world more deeply, rather than spending our precious field-time working through technical issues. What I tend to do now in the field is, therefore, considerably different than my old habits.

LW0556: Data Gathering in the Field
Published: 2009-09-08 13:11:31Hand-in-hand with the new way of previsualizing in the field is a new mindset that helps this process: data gathering. Rather than capturing the final image in the field and merely processing it in the lab, we now gather data in the field and make the final artistic decisions back home.
