LensWork Audio Blog Commentaries by Brooks Jensen

If you are passionate about photography, and haven’t discovered the world of “Lenswork.” – you have been missing out on one of the most educational and thought provoking pieces of literature about this artform. Lenswork conjures an image in my mind of a grand landscape and hordes of people taking pictures from a certain favored spot. Off in the distance is a monk, sitting by himself, looking over the landscape, the people, and making observations to himself. That monk to me is what Lenswork is like in the world of equipment focused media and technojargon websites. It embraces an aspect of photography that I find truer to my own musings about this artform, and presents it in a well written, thought provoking manner.

I have posted the link to Brooks Jensen’s audio blog. Take a listen, I think you will find the commentary worth many future visits.
