UNIVERSITY TEACHING and OTHER RESPONSES: "Hi Jim, I want to express thanks for the efforts you put into your class. I don't think I've ever had a professor that applies so many personal efforts to make a class interesting and useful to students. I also appreciate your patience in assisting me. " Harry Allen

"Mr Austin, I had been out of school for a long time, plus I had no experience with the American School System. Since I had to juggle a full time job, family and this new experience, I was overwhelmed, ready to quit. But thanks to you, Professor Austin, I am still here. You were able to understand how I felt and had encouraged me to continue. For the rest of the semester, you continuously made sure I was able to keep up with the rest of the class. I wanted to take this time to thank you and for you to know that your were the one that made a difference for me. " Bernadette Vanya

"Jim, thank you for your support, help and leadership. You have renewed my faith in the educational system, and renewed my faith in life in general. Thank you for being a superb teacher and an even better role model." Jason Lucero

"Dear Jim, thank you for being the photographer for our 20th Annual Denver Day of Caring. The photos are wonderful ! We are just thrilled with the results. I look forward to working with you again soon. " Elise Spain, Director

Dear Jim, I just wanted to thank you for the Nature Photography With Your Cell Phone class. I saw the Provincetown Library's post about the class being offered on Facebook and figured, why not? Yours was the first online class I have ever taken so I went into it with no real expectations. I like sharing the beautiful and interesting things I see on my walks and all I wanted was to be able to do that in a better way. Your class has taught me how to do that. Both family and friends have remarked on the difference they see in my pictures. Acceptance, support and encouragement are hallmarks of a wise teacher, and you have these qualities in abundance. So thank you for your patience and for so generously sharing your expertise.
Maybe we'll cross paths when you are in Provincetown sometime. Lynn L.

Thank you very much Jim for getting me enthused about photography. I enjoyed the class very much and appreciate how you encouraged us to be curious, to try and to do. Mostly I appreciate your kindness in answering questions outside of class. Finally I’ve found a hobby that makes me happy, you’re my new unsung hero! Best, Chris H.
