“Issue 70 caught my attention right after I woke up to check my email inbox. What a fantastic issue! I think it speaks really directly to creative individuals like myself and nicely portrays how our minds work.”
– Jai Shet
“I so enjoyed your article on Dorothea and Simon, it is the rare article that while it both tells you a wonderful story, it makes you think long after you have read it. Thank you for something to apply and [help me] grow as a more mindful photographer.”
– Lance Saunders
“I love receiving your emails! They pop into my inbox and I read them immediately – they make me step off the conveyor belt of life and take me to another place, where art is king and I am allowed to indulge myself!
I have bought numerous books following your write-ups and have never been disappointed.
Your story-telling fuels me to stop pretending I don’t have time for my art!! I always come away from your emails with a sense of ‘yes, I can do it, I am allowed to do it…’”
– Kim
