Transcript of the Jeff Doubét MP3 audio file at the top of the Store and More page:
“Hey guys, welcome to the Store and More page… my feeble attempt at monetizing this website, along with Google ads.
But the basic premise of it is that these photos which I’ve shot at all these various custom Spanish style homes and landscape projects I’ve been involved with also have products that you can buy on Amazon.
And I’ve shared direct links to Amazon store for that, but maybe more importantly for you- I also have shared a project button that you can press. And if you do that, it’ll go to a much bigger story with multiple photos of the project (and that sort of thing).
So come back whenever you have time, and check them out. And I do appreciate any kind of patronage that you might provide!” Jeff Doubét – August 11, 2025
