Welcome to our new LensWork Vision of the Heart Podcast. The purpose of this podcast is images. It's our objective in this podcast to explore more deeply the meaning of the photographs that we publish. We will examine individual photographs (and occasionally groups of photographs) to discuss aspects of their content, context and composition – and to gain a better overall appreciation of the work. While most podcasts on the Internet are intended for the general public, this podcast is directed to a very specific audience, that is, the readers of LensWork. This is primarily because the comments and content of these podcasts will be about images that appear on the pages of LensWork and in our disc publication, LensWork EXTENDED. The LensWork Vision of the Heart Podcasts won't make much sense unless you have the image in front of you to examine in detail while listening to the commentary. As such, this podcast is not likely to be a "commuters’ podcast,” but rather a study aid that provides a serious look at an image, a platform to think about photography (and more precisely) specific photographs. In LensWork #67, we published a portfolio by photographer Eugene H. Johnson. The title of his portfolio, and the first image in that portfolio, was “Vision of the Heart.” This phrase, this title, struck a profound chord in me. In four simple words it describes everything that photography is to me: a vision of the heart. With his permission, I could think of no better phrase to describe this podcast – so, LensWork Vision of the Heart is launched and will begin, as it should, with a discussion of Eugene Johnson's image that is the namesake of this podcast. Thanks for joining us in this podcast and for sharing our passion for photography. We hope you find these discussions useful in your creative life. Brooks Jensen
