a professional photographer for a long time i am now an artist painter maker creator whatever you want to call it. ive been a follower of Brooks Jensen for several years and even though most of my artistic podcasts are towards painting i find that the one i relate to the most is this one. and even though i also still shoot, Brooks speaks in such a way that theyre not just for photography but every kind of art you work with and a bit of life itself. thank you Brooks Jensen.
