  1. Are you able to make a video on your current setup and color correction/grading process? You consistently have the most perfect, eye pleasing video I’ve ever seen on Youtube.

  2. Seeing you review the first book about scarred tissue, reminds me of a VERY sad, but also uplifting pub in East Grinstead in Sussex UK (at the back of Queen Vic’ Hospital), famous for the pioneering work done by Sir Archibald McIndoe on WWII fighter pilots that were badly burnt. There are picture of before the pilots were burnt and after. It is truly mind blowing the work carried out there. What was equally mind blowing is that the population of E.Grinstead took them to their heart and even though they had horrendous injuries they were able, and the odd one that still live there, can walk around without being stared at.

  3. Hi Ted

    I just want you to know that I thoroughly enjoy all of the videos that you do on the Mail Time. Your encyclopedic knowledge of photography and Art is unbelievable. I like to see what your thoughts are on other peoples work, and the critique that you provide. All I can say is please don’t give up Mail Time or all the videos that you do on people in your Artists Series.

    Thank you for your great work.

  4. I love mail Time. I love seeing others zines and books. I’m bummed that you’re phasing it out, I understand that you want to move on, but I’m still bummed. Great channel. BTW I saw you on Peta Pixel, it was great too 👍

  5. loved the whole video. those ‘abstract’ shots on the zine ”shoreline” are the ones I like the most personally

  6. I love individual images, but “collections” intrigue me much more. Its how people see things, rather than an individual shot that often is not nearly as unique. I literally have thousands of images… and you might be able to find images in those that are interesting. But when I pick 10 or 20 to display, it tells you more specifically how I see things, what I find interesting…. if that makes any sense.

  7. Love the constructive criticism on Shoreline BW Zine 👌
    Nice images, thrill of sharing work and also something take away and consider 👏👏👏

  8. As always, I enjoyed the video and the advice given to the various photographers. I am heading to Thailand this week and will come back with a lot of photos. My plan this time is to do some sort of photo book or maybe even a zine (hadn’t really thought of that but may be a good option). Anyway, I enjoy the channel in general. Best to you.

  9. I find your critiques helpful. It’s useful to me to listen to someone look at photos with a critical eye and talk about how they see the work.

  10. All the photos that really matter to me have all been harnessed to another, greater purpose .

  11. Ted, Am a newcomer to your channel and an old-timer with picture taking. I very much appreciate that you’re more about photography and less about cameras. Most thoughtful and refreshing! Thank you for all you do, and I’m looking forward to the next installment. Best wishes, G

  12. Many thanks Ted for featuring my zine “car park” on your video. Your comments were so kind and really touched me. I’ve loved watching your videos for years and I’m honoured that you shared my work on your channel. Feeling a bit of impostor syndrome about my photography I stepped out of my comfort zone to send this to you as I’m not totally comfortable self-publicising, but your feedback has helped my confidence increase and I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Cheers from the UK!!

    1. It’s a great zine and a great project. Thanks for sending!!! No imposter syndrome… just roll with it and keep going!!

  13. Is there any advice you could give on How zines and books are composed? What is the software? What are the tools? Lots of printer proprietary stuff, but that only carries you so far.

    1. The only thing I know is that there’s a Book module in Lightroom Classic that also has a zine option, and then it can be uploaded to Blurb and printed. I’ve found the zine option to only be vertical format, though. I also had trouble with the binding, more pages made it thick and a lot of the photo pages was stuck in the crack, so to speak. If I do another one, I’d probably see what other options are out there, or just make a book with a soft cover and see how that turns out.

  14. Excellent review and useful observations that will help me on my photographic journey. Methinks a Zine might be an interesting project! 📷🙂

  15. These are very cool photo works, especially Shoreline. Thanks for sharing them, Ted. Your commentary on them is quite helpful and insightful.

  16. Love the summer background music for your squarespace ad! Makes me want to dust off the old violin.

  17. Hi Ted, I’m no expert on abstract photography and want to ask why you want to know what you are looking at? Isn’t the question – how does the image make you feel? Just my thoughts on it. Keep up the great work

  18. Narben is a beautiful and striking project, and the book is outstanding, even through the limited view of YouTube. ❤
