Dear Jeremy,
What can I say? I think that everyone else has covered it all! You really are blessed with talent. The nicest part of all you do is that you do it with such sincerity and you are always a pleasure to have at a concert sitting on the floor next to me!!!!! So glad I haven’t stepped on you YET!!! Keep up the great work, be persistant with your dreams! You deserve the best! We will always have the memories in view - thanks to you. I have actually learned very quickly to just enjoy the shows…. I depend on you to capture the memories for me. I don’t take any pics anymore… But of course I do carry my camera just in case your not around for my “Donny Moments”
Keep on snappin’ baby!
Sincerely,
Doreen

Hi Jeremy,
Enjoyed reading your blog, It certainly does make your life more enriched when you get paid to do the things you love ! I have always loved photography, a moment in time captured forever, I bought my first camera at 16 (Ricoh) way back in the early 70’s with money my grandfather had left me (And everyone thought I’d spend it on a holiday!) and it followed me everywhere!!!! Alas I dont take so many now, however i think the boxes of memories I have collected encouraged my daughter to take Photography in 6th form as an A level, she loves it, going out with the old SLR and viewing our beautiful Islands’ scenery. I intend to buy her an awesome digital if (when!!) she passes her exam, Can I presume the Canon 40D would be your recommendation? I love the ‘Summer nights’ book and if that is the quality of shots with that camera….then I won’t argue!
I have an image in my head of 7 Osmonds casually strolling through a city street, completely unaware of the hoard of hysterical woman running up behind them!!! …………If you need any help in setting that shot up, just let me know, I’m sure I have a few friends who would help you out!
Enjoy the Tour, and be snap happy please because I’m not taking pictures on stage this time, I’m savouring every minute!
Good Luck,
Shona

Hi Jeremy,

You will know me as Digital Agent from flickr. From there I was lead here to your writeup on your once in a lifetime opportunity you had and the successes that have followed. There is no question from what I have seen to your abilities, talent and creativity, and Donny’s continued faith in you just confirms my observations. I am so pleased for you and your next tour date, you will experience something again that so many of us never will. I am pleased to have you as a flickr friend and will close by saying the 40D is one awesome camera, I use it as well.

Good luck my friend!!

Ken

Jeremy –
Wow! What a blessing! I am in awe of your ability and your opportunities. You will have so much fun on the tour, and I can’t wait to see your results.

I’ve “almost” known the Osmond family for years. They are always in the “friend of a friend” category, and some of them live in my in-laws’ ward. Because of that, I am always intrigued to hear more stories from people I know who know them.

Have a great time on tour!!!

Jeremy,

Really amazing great story. Thanks for sharing the story. Sounds like you have been truly blessed to be able to do something that you love so much. Really uplifting.

It is also a huge sacrifice that your family (wife), is making to send you out too make photos. I look forward to seeing some of the work you bring back.

See you around,
Nathan

Hello Jeremy,
I’m happy for you that you will get to share the experience of the 50th Tour. Over the years there have been so many photographs taken of the family and through these pictures we have seen their life story. I’m sure this tour will bring back a lot of memories for the osmonds and for us it will be quite emotional, especially knowing this will be the last time we will see them perform together as a family.
What is lovely is knowing that they will have a friend amongst them capturing all the events, the tears, and the laughter and we eventually will have a book to treasure.
Enjoy the tour Jeremy.
Take care, from Denise

Hi Jeremy,

I love this article but then I love your photos too. I know Donny is only one of your many subjects but you seem to find new and different ways of presenting him to both those who have been there a lot and those that have not. I’m thrilled that you’re working on a project for the 50th tour since I like so many others will not be given the opportunity to really be there and I know you will find some amazing times to show us.
Thanks for continuing to use your unique gift.

Barbara A

@Jenny - I will only be on the UK portion of the tour, so I’ll miss you in Perth. It would be great to be on the entire tour, but my schedule doesn’t permit me to be out that long.

@Sylvia - We’ll see how much I actually see the “around town.” Those shots might be a bit more difficult to come across

@Tonda - Thanks for the kind words; I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the first book so much!

@Debrauk - No, that was a guy name Jarond, not me.
