OHHH, man! I JUST had an MRI last week. My insurance declined my doctors request for it. They know better than my doctor and said I needed six weeks of physical therapy with no improvement before they'd approve it. Well, I did some research and found an imaging center that will do it for $396 without insurance. Not even a week later I got the results... mild hip joint capsular thickening. F### insurance companies!

Man, your channel is such a gold mine of information and interesting stories. This is coming from a hobbyist with no intentions of ever becoming a professional photographer. I only found your channel a few months ago.

If you goin to the drake passage remember to not bring ur kids lmao

We appreciate you too, Dan.

You talking about replacing the parts on your bike reminds me of the Two Ronnies sketch. He talks about having the same broom for 40 years. He's replaced the broom head 8 times, and the handle 4 times.... Apart from that, good to see you (not) here.

Good to see you here again. I've always liked your videos. You and Ari Jaaksi have the most interesting photography segments on KZbin. However, I think you're viewing the world thru rose-colored glasses. Or, at least, with blinders on. The cost of housing, gas, groceries, autos, insurance, healthcare, education, etc. have skyrocketed. Unemployment the highest since 2021. High interest rates. The media is not willing to report the news objectively. Corrupt politicians pushing senseless agendas. Nearly invisible leaders. Insane social issues. The list goes on. Glad all is well at the compound. But that's not reality with most of this country.

This is definitely one of the best camera gear / backpack videos I have ever seen. Top Notch 👍

Dan, sorry you're dealing with physical issues, I just went through almost two years of issues, and so glad to have it behind me. You're still an animal, brother.

0:32 we want a separate fitness channel from uncle Dan schwarzenegger

BTW everyone thinks I'm a kook when I start talking about Plum Island too.

I have literally been saying the same thing to people. I was lucky enough to take a pic of the tick on a pillow, and after the bite on the back of my neck, but didn't go to the doctor till after feeling effects, and after that it's just been trying to get people to believe you for years. Because it is up and down with me. Some days are better than others. I just know I have it, but didn't get a positive test, and have been misdiagnosed for years. The medical industry loves a disease like this. $$$

My daughter is sufdering hope someone can helo

Its a night

You're not back. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What do you think of micro four third sensors? When should a photographer choose m43 over other cameras, if there is any reason at all.

So much knowledge in one video. I learned a lot of valuable information from this one video. Thank you so much!

I have absolutely no idea, so ! success.

You must be close to book #300 - perhaps a 300-page book of your 300 covers!

I thought photo journalists didn’t change the scene? It seems you removed my original post. Maybe it was a KZbin mistake after several likes I got??? But I’ll repeat it. My job takes me into around 25 homes a week and an average of a 100 month. Mostly middle class and lower class families and people aren’t doing okay. They are struggling financially badly! Some of these customers I’ve had since 2009 and it’s the worst they have ever been. The economy is terrible for these people and they are hanging on by a thread.

I think you need to get out there and talk to more of the average American person and family. They are struggling something fierce to not have an empty refrigerator or keep a car working on the road with this economy.

I feel you. This changes you. Glad you are better. You say you wouldn't have done some of the protocols you have done. What would you do instead? This has been a long road for you and so many of us.

Question: are you planning in Bookwright or ?

It's great seeing you back...sharing your wit and wisdom!

Not back again!

Greetings from India. I'm currently working on a few projects, and your videos have provided me with valuable insights. I'm looking forward to your assistance in putting together some books. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

germany is not the best place for photography on the street.

Ah yes, gear 😏.......I remember Alberto Korda saying "You only need a $4 (adjust for inflation) camera to take the best photos"......as he was a Leica/Nikon man I'm sure he was sincere 🤭 Also cameras with "Hello, ladies" telephoto lenses will play Deep Purple not Black Sabbath.....you're welcome 👌

Hey Dan, I would love to hear your take on selling or giving RAW files to clients that request them. Don’t mind me if you have already spoken about it before. It feels like it has become a discussion in the photography business lately because I keep seeing it all around. Thanks

When I put videos on KZbin (years ago) I used LumaFusion. It’s specifically made for IPad and is easy to use and understand. It’s gotten much better and is considered better than Final Cut. It was made for iPad which means everything is drag and drop and pinch zoom. Check it out.

Black Sabath "black sabath" camping with my partner in a tent - did playing that track make it happen? Complete washout 😂 oh! and here i was wondering if I'd subscribed properly re the news letter , so its not me , but I'll wait patiently 😊

loved the mangled bird at the feet

Warning all photographers, do NOT buy an iPad Pro, if you’re a stills photographer. Cataloguing images, and uploading to external hard drives is a nightmare. Just returned mine for a MacBook Pro. It was a real close shave!!!

Back when I was 16 (late 70's) a friend from school and I traveled to see Black Sabbath in UK. Was the loudest gig I have ever been to even though in the back row in main auditorium!

Plum tart! You're already half way to Berlin. Don't forget the schlach zahne for tart and black coffee

Hey Dan, drop that ecstasy and do a Q&A, I think it would be huge. Trumpian huge! So glad to see you're shooting Nikon, you're on your way! Also, having many back problems over the years from being thrown out a 2nd floor window onto the pavement during my job duties, stay away from surgery as long as you possibly can. Always a pleasure to see you here!

RSS works just fine ;)

Glad to see you back even if you aren’t back 🙌

Thanks Dan, enjoy the plum tart.
