Thank You
September 30th, 2007I feel as though writing thank you in a post is such a poor way to express my gratitude, but I really am so, so thankful for your emails and comments. I have never met most of you, and yet you’ve offered so much help to a stranger. I’ve had a lot of people offer to send checks, old and new iPods, and two individuals offered to cut me a check to cover the entirety of the loss, one a friend, one I’d only met once before.
As my therapist could tell you, I have a hard time accepting gifts. This issue has deep roots, and so we won’t go into that now. But many people have told me that they would purchase a photograph or two to help me get back on my photographic feet, and so my friend Jake and I (mostly Jake, as always) are building a small site so people can purchase a 5×7 or an 8×10 of my photographs. I’m now in the process of figuring out which photos to make available. I wish that process was easier.
The site should be up and ready within a couple weeks.

I am sitting in my room in a castle 30 minutes outside of Dublin, Ireland. I’ll be here for a week leading worship at a conference and doing some photography. I’m going to do my best to do a daily post, which I’ve never done before. I apologize in advance if I fail at doing one a day, but I’ll do my best. One must not let the internet get in the way of life.
One must not let the internet get in the way of going to the Guinness factory.
Therefore we can conclude logically that the Guinness factory = life.
And even more simplistically,
Guinness = Life
Once I get back to the States we’ll try to have the portfolio available for your viewing and purchasing pleasure. Right now I’m borrowing a camera and Mac from my wonderful friends Jarrod and Taryn so I can continue to shoot and do school work. Jarrod and I met at grad school a few weeks ago and found out that we were actually in kindergarten together, and now here we are reunited after 18 years. It’s as if we were never apart. BFF Jarrod! el o el tee tee why el smiley face wink!

if you’re taking requests, can you make available any picture(s) of empty seating? i think they’ve been titled “waiting,” “i’ll wait here”, etc.
I can’t wait to buy a photograph.
Hey Josh-
Look forward to seeing, purchasing and forwarding…(say that 3 times fast) your photography site. Any of your great photos from Africa would be great to see.
Praying for you and your time in Ireland.
Say hello to Bono
@Bethany: You can submit requests. Absolutely. I don’t allow links in the comments because I get spammed all the time, but you can email me a link to a photo you like if you so wish.
I am broke. But as soon as I have money I am buying some original Longbrake photos. At least one. Maybe ten. My wall is bare.
The “love wins” series should definitly be available!!!! I would love to have them displayed out in my apartment! You are a wonderful inspiration to me and your photography is beautiful! Thank you for making my days a little more exciting.
I definitely agree about the Love Wins series…
Oh yes! please include the Love Wins series. I love those Josh, they’re so wonderful!
Enjoy the Guinness factory, I’m jealous, as Guinness is my favorite!
“Diversity” and “Behind Her Back.”
And I also will chime in with the Love Wins collection.
hehehehe…i don’t mind an old ipod!
i’ll buy a photograph too!
after drinking guinness in ireland, you will be ruined forever. i still havent had a pint of guinness since my trip to scotland in january and that’s not even ireland.
did you know that Nigeria is thw worlds largest consumer of Guinness… and also that i have lived in northern ireland all my life (21 years) and never had guinness
I will be eagerly awaiting the photos for purchase. I also very much enjoy the “Love Wins” series. Ireland and Guinness: consider yourself a few steps away from heaven. Enjoy.
I will definatly be buying a picture or two or three or four!
If you feel like extending your stay this side of the pond I live in Somerset, England and have a spare room..
Guinness = Life
yes…..
if you were in kindergarten with him, then i was too. whats his last name? did he move to phoenix a long, lomg time ago or am i thinking of someone else in our class?
haha
Can’t wait to purchase some pics. Many prayers for your trip in Ireland and life without your own Mac (I don’t know what I’d without mine).
Josh-
“Guinness = Life†yes sir.
Did they put a little shamrock design at the top of your Guinness?
Have you met many girls named Colleen? I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland and count how many I meet. i guess that’s kind of dumb. We’re a little rare over here in the states! :)
Hope you’re having an amazing time and can’t wait to buy some of your photos!
