Robert Jensen
Robert Jensen What? You want to know about the guy who writes this stuff? Well, I was born in a small town outside Detroit ... huh? I should skip to the good part? OK, I was in the photo retail business for over 27 years. I sold millions of dollars worth of photographic gear in that time, which makes me sound like some great salesman, but really, I sold only what I liked. I loved talking about camera gear as much as I did taking pictures. I was always known as the guy to go to for technical information but who could explain it in simple terms people could understand. I left retail in '97 and turned to professional photography where my first gig was shooting content for Playboy's website. Its hard work (really I lost 11 lbs on my first shoot for them) but someone has to step in and do what needs to be done! Since then I've done just about every type of job there is in the photo biz, from shooting for stock to shooting stock cars. I've done weddings to website content, clothing catalogs to corporate advertising, album covers to architectural, and yes, even pet photos. I'm mostly known for my vintage pinup photography, which I've been doing for almost 20 years. When I started out I was almost the only one shooting in the genre and seem to have inspired a few of the well known names in the biz today. I'm so completely addicted to gadgets that writing about them has become part of my 12 step program to recovery. (They got it wrong. He who dies with the most toys isn't the winner, its the guy who gets to play with the toys for free, and gets paid for it. ~ Robert Jensen ) |

Because the the relative strength of the US dollar in relation to that of almost every other currency in the world as of this writing the we have pretty good purchasing power at the moment, but will change quickly. more »Page 1 of 1 pages |
