Gruyaert is unreal 🔥🔥🔥

Americans or anglos are really weird people trying to impose their laws on everyone else.

that is NOT a leica @ 3:19 what is it ?

Nice bro! I love my M4.

Just stumbled in here. What a swell video. Thank you for your thoughts and your presentation here. Very good stuff.

I enjoyed your candid honest overview of your process, errors and successes. What is your printing method? Digital or conventional (old school). Thanks for posting.

Great review. I have an M9-P and love it. You’re spot on.

Thanks for this informative video. I thought the one sign that only allows cell phone photography to be interesting. I assume they think anyone with a camera has exploitive intentions. It's making me think that it's time to start using my smartphone more often.

Concerning encounters: An American tourist took me for a private detective when shooting in Rome and wouldn't believe anything else. Note I was shooting restaurant fronts, not her.

That bit where you explain your run in Florida and how Eggleston has this incredible ability to represent human emotions in photographs might have finally helped me figure out what it is that I love about Eggleston. The fact that he is often photographing non-human subjects makes that ability of his even more incredible. That’s truly what I aspire to do with my work. P.S. I think I’ve come back to this video 5-6 times in the past year.

The algorithm is the gate. But then again here I am. ❤❤❤ like comment subscribe ahahhhhhhh! 😂😢 Thankyou for your thoughtful take.

man this inspires me to create stuff. what an intro

Really enjoyed this. Growing up in the 70s-80s I can see how his photos instantly trigger nostalgia for me. But it's more than that. Love the Wyeth quote.

Answer? Yes. KZbin wants content not art.

the velvet underground x youtube content algorithm best practices bit was an incredible way to illustrate the point

12:22 that's not even true. There's the ever-changing algorithm and the platform's own rules and rule 'enforcers'. The only difference between online/youtube work, is that your slave master is invisible unlike traditional jobs...

Really enjoy this - it hit me at the right time in life

if anyone likes this kind of video or finds anything else on yt particularly good despite their views make sure to interact as much as humanly possible, like it, share it (copying link with the share button is fine), comment, like every comment. Even leave it playing in another tab or something like that ❤ small creators need it bro

this is awesome. as time goes on it seems less and less likely but i really think theres a market for genuine videos, with a disregard for all the seo and algoritm tactics. this is honestly what i strive to do with my channel. just something that isnt performative, while im not confident calling it art, just genuine expressions of creativity. while it might take time to get the ball rolling, i think when people get a taste of something genuine they'll stay. im glad i found this video, as ive been gearing up to start releasing things ive really been thinking about this topic and the current landscape . my recommendation would be, dont disregard things like tags, thumbnails titles etc. play the game in that sense, but keep the content genuine. i think thats the key to both success and personal satisfaction

Great video, absolutely fantastic.

11:17 intro amazing.

I didn't even realize this was small channel until halfway thru.

Stellar video! Love the themes and production

Really loved this. Good work man!

Good stuff fella.

Great video dog

‘Bout damn time.

Annnnnnd we're back.

I really enjoyed watching this whole video.

Saul Leiter is also always on my list

Thanks. In France and in Spain, we have the same that you explain for USA. About point #9 (identification), the police only can require your identification if they suspect any delictive activity, but only them can judge if they can can suspect it, so... better to identify if they require so. About point #10: requiring to delete a photo from your camera is an "evidence destruction" and any policeman (or anyone) who requires this can be in a trouble cause its an offense.

Great music to your content !

Hello. I bought my m4 in very bad condition from Sri Lanka. It was damp and looked like it had been soaked in water years ago and then left to dry for several years. It cost me $550. I bought it and the repair was $115 + new vulcanide. Now it works perfectly and I polished it nicely. This camera is indestructible.

I shoot canon for newspapers rock solid kit it’s strange tho I don’t find them sexy to use they are just tools absolutely incredible tools. on my own time I try all brands models formats mainly for YT channel content but I love them all I did sell my left nut to help fund my first Leica a Q2 so so happy with that purchase and don’t even miss the nut at all very willing to sell the other to fund an M 📷 the nuts are redundant anyways 😞

I'm a Saul Leiter admirer and have no idea what took KZbin so long to present this video to me. You are obviously as enthralled with his work as I am. Anyone who has ever tried to create images in his style (as I have), will understand even more how great the man was. I'd love to know more about his approach; did he sit at the same hazy window for hours, waiting for the right elements to come together to create a superb photo? His style has inspired so many photographers today. Hats off to Mr Leiter, "Sir"

I think the secret to William Egglestone’s work! He is at war with the obvious and his work is about colour.

Eggleston is an enigma to me. I can't explain why his photos are good or why I like them, but I do. I often wonder what percentage of his photos did he deem worth publishing and how many ended up in a folder somewhere. Was it 1 in 10, 1 in 100, 1 in 1000? I just wonder if he got "lucky" with finding something that happened to work, or if he new he had a banger right when he saw the seen and shot the photo. The photos he took in that video of him of that falling down house were not particularly good in my mind, but the ones you showed in the slide show were so, so good. Another thought: do we like his photos more now because they are so clearly of a different era than we are in now? Are we just feeling nostalgic for a different, simpler time? Did people view his photos the same way back then as they do now? I wonder...

Great analysis

Went to college in Omaha and haven't really been back since--fun to see a street photographer's take on the CWS!

I'm not sure I understand your point about thinking that the photographer developed his Kodachrome film. I have never heard of anyone doing that. Kodachrome was developed by Kodak: it was exposed and sent to Kodak - all paid for when the film was first purchased. Kodak Ektachrome could, however, be processed by the photographer, so could be pushed or pulled during processing.

Also, when taking images of fires or accidents, while that is legal to photograph, it IS ILLEGAL to use a scanner for those purposes unless you are part of the media. So if asked, you cannot say you heard about this on the scanner.

Not gonna run into too much hassle taking pictures of pop cases my friend.

Simply put. You get “it”. Subscribed! thanks for making this

My dream camera is m4. I got it from Sri Lanka and now waiting for pack. Hope it will work :3 It was stored for more than 10 years.

I have a 16 year old M8 I just purchased. Three months later Im in love! OMG! the essence of photography , stripped down in a beautiful tactile object of complete desire.

I thought he was embracing not at war with it

after seeing the images i can confidently say spending $3000 for a CCD sensor is a new level of crazy
