Shortly after you had your accidents I still had your website in my computer's cache and I ordered your books by mistake, that is i wanted them but I didn't know you got hurt. But you managed to still have all the books sent to me in Afganistan at no charge. My buddies and I have sure enjoyed them, and some of them have learned to take better pictures from just looking at yours. Thanks a million, Mr. Jenkins.

I bought a set of your earlier books several years ago and continue to use them today, thank you very much. Now that I have a growing family I thought I might start my kids on photography as a hobby. When I saw that your Beginner's Books were available I hoped they might be the easiest way for my kids to get into photography without pushing a thick book in front of them. As it turns out the kids love the smaller size of each book in the series and they find the way you present the information to be easy to understand. Heck, I even liked the different size and approach when I'm away on business with some free time on my hands. Thanks for thinking about all of us -- we love your writing.

When I felt down and out about what to shoot during what seemed to be a long period of bad weather here in Ohio, you took the time to research where I live looking for places of interest I had completely even forgot and didn't know existed nearby. I thought I was going to have to stop shooting for awhile, but your continued interest in my success showed me how to make the best of even the worst shooting weather. Thanks for the email support because it's worth far more than what I paid for the Books.

It's refreshing to know that there is still someone out there that cares about the particular skills and goals of a student who is trying to learn a new profession. I thought I was just buying books that would lead me through the mechanics of learning photography, but your email support truly makes every chapter come to life for me by your specialized support designed for MY interests. Even though I'm finding each chapter very self explanatory, I still enjoy your email responses and critiques, as they expand my opportunities in a way that makes me want to get out there and do the best I can, regardless of the weather or subject matter.

I want to thank you for your patience with my order; I am disabled (and I know you are, too) and sometimes need extra assistance. It's nice to know that you, as an honest and understanding person, can see life and lifestyles from most any point of view. Even though I may have made you lose a little :) more hair while processing my order, I am more than delighted to have received what I feel are the most interesting and informative photo books on the shelf. Plus, I'm already impressed with your email support. Thanks for being there, and for sending the special Chapter written for the Physically Challenged photographers of the world.

I read where some dimwit tried to trash you and your Website, but I could tell it was all a lie by the illiteracy of the person. Besides, I know for a fact that your Books are great because I am a returning student who upgraded from the Self-Study Course to the C of C Course for the digital editing you provide. While some of the information you put in your books is open knowledge, there is no comparison to TPC when it comes to the wealth of information and personal experience you share on a one-on-one level; noone offers the great and timely support TPC provides. Plus, I'm getting my Email support while overseas in the military (can't say where or which one). Thanks for being so consistent and valuable as a source for learning. You ought to trash that dimwit, but I know you won't; TPC probably doesn't do things that way.
Peter K., Worldwide with Pride

I couldn't have received a more welcome Christmas gift than TPC. Your Email support is great, the editing help you have provided has made me see life from a much better perspective, and I now know why the lens I was using was one of my main probs. Thanks for being there, and I'm glad you were strong enough to overcome such a personal catastrophy - the world needs dedication like yours.
Erin MacC., Lincoln, NE

I sent my order in on a Sunday, and then realized that you guys probably are not there on the weekends. I started to shut my computer down, when up pops your order confirmation email. You guys there all the time? I was surprised and thankful to find out that my book order would go out the next day, and then received it on Wednesday, just two days later. Thanks for being "on the ball" TPC. Oh, and you make it so easy to learn, too.

I just finished applying the first lecture of your Lecture Series (I'm a Beta Tester); the response was great. I know you said you would make available downloadable files to use with an overhead projector, but I was able to scrounge-up some of my own slides until you make your overhead transparencies available; I know your overheads follow along with each Lecture, as opposed to my stuff. I just wanted to say THANKS for all the work you guys (and gals) do at TPC. I thought you guys were down and out, but you were still working all the time. Again, thanks for being there. Please let me know when the final release is ready, and when the accompanying overheads are finished.
Steve, Bartlesville is Okay

As one of your Beta testers of TPC's Lecture Series, I found several uses of my own, plus some that might interest other pro's looking to make an extra dollar in their spare time. I already own your original Basic and Advanced Books, upgraded to your Book I & II, and even found many things applicable to my "style" in your PSD&O. The way you guys redesigned the Lecture Series makes it easy for me to guide my apprentices in a logical way; in other words, we have fewer "words" about how to "what" and when to do "what". Less conflict means less time spent trying to get the job done. Thanks for letting us Beta test TPC's Lecture Series; it has already saved me time AND money.

"I watched and read, and watched and read, until I realized that your Certificate of Completion Course is more than just a 'guided tour' of photography. A friend of mine ordered your Book I, which I found to be more than just an instructional 'How-To' book. All this is why I ordered the Cof C Course - I wanted the unlimited help, the unlimited guidance, and even during your time of almost absence from the Web (our blessings to you), you guys still came through without 'missing a beat' as you say, of helping me via email. It's obvious that you guys have been around for a long time. Thanks for being online all the time, "no matter what!""

"Maybe no one has ever told you, but the pictures in your downloads look great on my 17" monitor. Maybe you should offer a coffee table book of just your pictures. Are there any stories to go along with the pictures? I really enjoy the stories you add to those in the books; makes me wonder."
Kimberly, GI wife in Germany

"I thought I was one of the more experienced photographers on my block when I enrolled in your C of C; I (humility showing) admit I was completely on the wrong track. Thanks for helping me establish my goals once again - starting over helped make me a much better photographer. Thanks!"
Carol, Rockford, IL

"I was so afraid that I would need to buy an expensive photo camera before ordering your Self-Study Download Course. Thanks for being so honest and helpful; it is comforting to know you can teach me with my Papa's until I can buy my own."
Heide S.., Zweibrücken

"Thanks for revising the Online Lessons; my class uses your photography Website to assist them in expanding their painting abilities. Several students now want to explore photography as well."
Mrs. Craft, Bossier City, Louisiana

"Your Portraiture Book is so much more than I expected; you just don't see other books showing you all the views of each subject and pose. Now I know how to spot the little things that make my sittings really pay off."
   Hiram H., Israel

"Your 3D graphics are superb; it's so much easier to envision my subject now that you have expanded my way of thinking."
   Mimi C., Alberta

"I thought I knew it all, but now I know so much more about how to use my camera to make more money while off-duty. Thanks"

"Let's see; who should I read today? TPC or Stephen King? Do I want to have fun, or get scared out of my wits? I'm gonna make today a fun day. "Thanks" TPC!"
   Benny, Toronto

"Everyone on your Staff seems to have your same sense of humor; it helps me to know that each lesson is going to be fun as well as educational. Motivation is the key to education; I know because I'm also a teacher!"
   Anna M., Detroit

"Thanks for surprising me with the additional critique information. I didn't expect you to take such an interest in my pictures."
   Meridith, Vic., BC

"I expected the 'expanded' part of the downloads and books to be the simple addition of charts, but instead I was pleasantly surprised to see more information and descriptive photos. Thanks for doing it right, TPC!"
   Bonita H., Cyprus

"After seeing your books in the library I realized I had to have my own set - thanks!"
    April M., Tampa

"Thanks forgetting my books to me so quickly; I thought I'd have to wait weeks, but you sent them out the next day. Let the studying begin!"
     C.S., Eugene, OR

"Thanks for the help with my questions. I did not expect such a rapid and thorough response."
    N.B., Singapore

"I never expected such a wealth of information for such a small investment!"
     Carol T., Toronto Canada

"...and its not just a great education in photo technique, the books are a delight to read.
I love a teacher with a sense of humor."
     Susan R., Pittsburg, PA

"I want to thank you for providing such super e-mail support. I was surprised at how quickly and thoroughly you answer my questions each time."
     Madji L., Albany, NY

"Everyone in our photography club wants to send you a big thanks for developing a custom lesson plan just for us..."
     Al B., Anaheim, CA

"...and every time I looked through books on photographic technique in the book stores I just became more confused about what to learn first; your book has been so easy to follow and understand..."
