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!!

I absolutely loved this zine. Brutalism needs more love - especially as its products are increasingly being pulled down!

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

Detlef book is powerful. Thanks for sharing.

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 👍

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. Pat Hogarty from El Dorado Hills, California.

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 KZread.

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.

loved the whole video. those 'abstract' shots on the zine ''shoreline'' are the ones I like the most personally

Yes, actually me too. Ted just says that they are not for everyone.

I really hope you do not discontinue the current format of mail time. It’s unique and no one else does it that I know of. It has inspired countless photographers to pursue making books and zines of their work who probably didn’t think of it until viewing your channel.

I love love love this section. It's my favorite! Not only do you give a lot of insightful advice and teach important lessons along the way, but getting to see and explore other people's perspectives and subjects is so inspirational! Also, this section might get me to actually develop and do my own photobook, I've done a project last year where after each world cup game I went to where people gathered to celebrate (I'm from Argentina, it was a biiiig deal here) to photograph the cheerfulness of the people. I don't know if what I did is good enough, and I got stuff to deal with before I can make a book, but I wish to perhaps someday deliver something of my own to you!

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

Fantastic content and comments! I really enjoyed the projects you shared and your comments and critiques. I am excited to have found your channel.

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.

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.

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

narben looks truly amazing, well done to Detlef

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.

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

Great videos. Love to get to know new photographers. That being said, Rui Palha, a Portuguese photographer, should a mention in this channel sometime soon. Especially for those who like back and white.

Your zines review are a real inspiration. I like how you speak about the art part of photography, which is so important nowadays with AI and ubiquitious smartphones. Superb projects for all four zines, congratulations to all of them.

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

It’s so sad that you are going to give up Mail Time. It’s the one format that keeps drawing me to your channel as it’s so unique. Every single work that you show is thought provoking and explains why taking pictures is so dear to me. It’s the story that is being told, the act of physically holding it in your hands and, of course, the history of the person behind the lens. These videos with your thoughts about the works is a highlight here on youtube and I don’t understand why you are giving it up. For me a flame will go out.

I understand you need to change things up, but I hope you will continue this sort of video in some form or another, I've found so many interesting photographers I never would've heard about otherwise, and I love hearing your thoughts on their work whether positive or negative.

Really appreciate your mail reviews (and I suspect many others do as well) as you expose many photographers to us that we would otherwise not see. I'm sorry that you feel that those videos have run their course as they will missed. Hopefully you can find something of value to replace them with. Let the mourning phase begin...

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.

Solitude, indeed!

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

With the latest and greatest camera gear and the push by the industry to make us buy that stuff I've decided to go the opposite direction for a few months. I don't vlog or otherwise do video so going to back in a time a bit. Going to pick up an old Canon 6D and a 50mm 1.8 and shoot nothing but that for 6 months. Will see if I can actually a body of work with a single camera and lens and maybe one light. We'll see.The old masters didn't use much gear.

Nice sir😃

I do it for me, that said, I would love to make and send you a zine, but i always forget to have a theme, mostly I just travel and take photos of what i've seen with no more intent than to improve the outcome of the images

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

I enjoy your reviews and your channel in general: thank you! However, I disagree with your critique of Shoreline. I enjoy the work that reaches the edge of pure abstraction....akin to a monchromatic colour-field painting, but with one toe still in this world. Perhaps that's a description of one kind of loneliness. I do mind images crossing the gutter....I understand the desire to show larger images, but I find the disruption too great a cost. All subjective, of course!

Where did you steal that tan from? LoL

Another criticism for Harjani. Some of your images are images many visitors have already taken. Your take is OK but you can get them on a postcard. 15:05 the Brooklyn bridge tower and 15:12 the Empire State Building under the Manhattan bridge are good examples. You are a portrait photographer. Taking portraits of people in a wax museum isn’t so interesting to me. How about going out on the street and do street portraits. Lord knows there are no shortage of real people to photograph on the street. Interesting concept. A day in my visit to New York. Very nice and slick presentation.
