“How is it that each time you send images they’re amazing shots I’ve never seen before?”

Spring, 2002, from Lisa Corson, former photo editor, Spin magazine (when they used only my Dee Dee Ramone in a towel photo for his obit page). She was photo editor for “We Got the Neutron Bomb,” Three Rivers Press, 2001. More of my photos in that book than any other photographer. She used my photos for “Cinderella’s Big Score,” (about punk and indie women musicians), Avalon. 2004. I answered: because I too have never seen many of these shots, or not since I took them. Until I began selling them, I had NO idea they printed so beautifully.

Jenny Lens photos are in the collection of Drew Barrymore, Linda Ramone (Johnny’s widow), Mickey Leigh (Joey Ramone’s brother), Flea, Rob Zombie and photographer Brad Elterman. Many of my customer’s identity/achievements are not known because some photos are sold in galleries.

CUSTOMER PRAISES (SOME BOUGHT FOR GIFTS TOO!): [have not updated this list in ages]

“Hi Jenny, I have ADMIRED YOUR WORK FOR YEARS. I curate the Patti Smith Collection at the Mills College Library in the rare book room. The PRINT WILL EVENTUALLY GO INTO THE COLLECTION. I AM HONORED TO HAVE ONE OF YOUR PIECES. best wishes, Robert.”

“Hi Jenny, I got your photo yesterday. It is SO BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much. I will get it framed asap. YOUR WORK IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING. I will order more soon… best wishes, Robert. April, 2006.”

“Am an old punk (physically only and even then not bad for my age) who came across Punk Pioneers and was very moved by your photography – it was a time of my life that changed me forever – we move as life moves and no one knows how it ends…No I do not know you personally (as facebook requests) but perhaps those of us who felt the same adolescent angst and had it fade away by loving the same music might still “know” each other? Either way, thanks for all the great photos – nice eye – Gary.” (March 5, 2011.

“My FIRST PURCHASE I’VE EVER MADE ON EBAY and I’m VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR MAKING IT SO EASY AND REWARDING.”

[Doubtful I will EVER sell another photo on eBay. Too expensive and time consuming. Plus when someone sold my photos on his store, and there was a problem, let’s say eBay didn’t work it out, to my expensive financial and time loss. So it goes!]
