Si beautiful video. I feel the same with the Music. I am musician… well, kind of. So great if you publish future videos…

❤

have the 50 mm F2 and I'm gonna sell it because it's the most flat image I ever saw in my life. No 3D pop at all.

I recently purchased it and it has quickly become my favorite lens for street and family photography.

Just found your channel and have, so far, just watched two posts. I love them. They have subjects and a tone that I can relate to and really like and enjoy watching. Thank you so much. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Where did you go?

Very talented. Thanks for turning me on to this lens. There's both a human and an art character to the output. Well done!

I've been dating between the Xpro 1 and the 2. Now im just confused hahaha. I love everything about both camera's. I stopped photography years ago and I want to pick it up again (street photography). As I dont have a camera at the moment, do you think its a better idea I go for the 1 or 2?

Just stumbled on your channel via the Ricoh film, then here. Hope you're still out there and creating and hope we see more from you. We all go through these phases and mine lasted about 10 years until a couple of years ago when I dusted off my gear again and instantly got the bug back. Looking forward to more.

I am subscribed to many channels. I actively look through the list for your films as they are poignant. Do you give up, unless the act of creating them is doing you damage. Thanks

I was looking for some reviews for the ricoh griii and just saw your video. Man, that is a really nice project ! So emotional. Is it the GR III or GR III x ?

so amazing. I want to get into photography now. You make it look so easy. Kudos from Brisbane, Australia :pp

Loved your film and reflections, my home town not perfect but special.

A bit dusty 😅

In Japan, there is a lot of talk about privacy so I have come to loathe pointing my lens at people. I wasn’t always so shy. I wish I don’t feel like this because there are so many stories to tell here. Thank you.

I loved my old grd3 until it died. So I appreciate your photos and journey. Your thoughts on the X100 (on another video) which I still own and works has inspired me to go out with it. Thank you.

When I look back through my photos, my favorite ones were taken with my Xpro1. I bought it at the start when it came with the two lenses. Who knows if it's a great camera or not... it's a great camera to me!

Wow. I had the..I thought it was a 75mm Viltrox and I sold it back off because I felt like I was up everyone's nostrils with it. Now seeing you with even 10 more mm getting what you're getting, I clearly didn't try hard enough. ;) Great stuff here. (Sure, it's 2 years old, but KZbin gave it to me today.)

I totally understand this mate, I myself have a pristine x pro 1 that somehow just feels different to pick up and shoot, slowing down, enjoying the simplicity aswell as how the x trans 1 renders colour. It’s a joy to shoot, it also has the best shutter noise in a Fuji camera. Nice to hear a local north east lad putting out some relevant content 🙏🏼

Really enjoyed this one. Please do more of this style, especially in Nottingham. The city misses out when it comes to people doing street in town here on KZbin. It is invariably London or Manchester.

Thanks for your thoughts on this mate, just picked one up and looking forward to experimenting :)

That was brilliant

Absolutely breathtaking work. I just purchased this camera as an everyday carry camera. And very nervous to use it but excited. Trying it out for the first time tomorrow

Great photography and video, some of the best i've seen and the story telling is wonderful!

Scared me with ya click bait title!.... LOVE IT 🥲❤

Such a wonderful film and truly beautiful photographs, made all the more so because there is such thought and meaning behind them

Loved the video and the pictures in it. As far as i know M42 has a thread mount? Did you have any difficulties focusing to infinity on your Fuji camera?

outstanding vid mate, timeless glass

Thanks for sharing your experience with this camera. Found myself a X100S last week. 😊

Thank you I enjoyed your journey.😊

are you still doing photography with the og x100?

Just stumbled across your video and thought to myself he sounds like he's from my neck of the woods (middlesbrough) clicked on your channel to find out more and lo and behold you're in Nottingham which is where I am...Great photography! keep up the good work man...we should grab a coffee - @waste_studio

Very excited to try mine out based on this video --- great shots mate.

Yeah. I want to buy one.

I really like the Olympus Zuiko line in general but in particular the 50/1.4. I use it as a benchmark for all other lenses.

Just found you. We are in Carlton, Nottingham. We dip in and out of our love of photography. A couple of years ago it was all about photographing people in Nottingham. Then the joy wained. Until a few weeks ago and the itch returned. The idea of lugging about an SLR isn't grabbing at the moment. So we have just ordered a pair of old Sony RX 100's. The mark 1's. Hopefully some black and white street photography will happen. If not, we have tiny cameras to carry with us if the urge arise arises. Just subscribed to you.

In NYC, I just make sure my camera is in hand when I go outside and I enter a different state of consciousness. No effort required. Later I look at the mining in the river to see if there’s any gold. There almost always is.

hmm in rainy days is super but in so sunny days so bad....

Love this, Rich! Amazing message. Keep inspiring ❤

Think it is okay to take a rest from photography. It's good for recharging your creative battery. I do that from time to time and it feels good to me. It takes the pressure off and you can devote yourself to your passion refreshed.

Quality video essay this mate. It's like you made it just for me! Thank you.

Great work and photos of my hometown Nottingham. I have just started up again with street after a long break. Glad i found this channel, cheers.

I reach for my Fuji every single day..... yet like you I have periods of not wanting to. I think these are important Reset days / weeks / months. Its all normal. 😎📷👍👋

Good to see you back 👍

Absolutely love this video. The message. The poetic delivery. The b roll. And the images. Fantastic.

I can totally relate man. Life been getting in the way for me recently and I've been battling the "whats the point?", i cant improve if i dont get the time to shoot. Its easy to say just make the time but life quite often has other ideas. Then when i do get out, i put so much pressure on myself. Its a vicious circle sometimes. You have a new subscriber here. Keep up the great work 👍👊

I thought you were giving up then, keep it moving King… I always look forward to your street videos and was wondering when you’re gonna post a new vid… Good to see you back at it!💯💪🏾🕺🏿

Ive just watched a video called Souless Street photography. A professional photographer moaning that all street photos look the same, crushed blacks, bright whites, sick of seeing photos of Japan with the same music. An endless tirade of whats wrong. I wanted to slit my throat and throw away my cameras. Not an inspiring video at all. Talk about a put down. We are all on a journey, some at the beginning, or like me a 79 year old who loves street photography. I like mine, dont care if nobody else does. I try and capture a moment in time. People interacting with one another at the local market. Photos of my great grandchildren. I admire your honesty, and sincerely hope you manage to get back into what you love and do so well..

So damned true!

There are times when you simply reinvent one's self. Often it is only a slight adjustment of a rendition, and you are back on track again. Other times we simply need something of a larger change. Whatever the need, do it. If the goals change, find your new target and hit the mark. Some will find something new, and that's OK. Bear in mind life has other distractions and needs, and those can weigh on the everyday, thus it may not be photography at all which pulled you aside. To get back is to get back into it. Once you learn to ride a bike, you need not learn it all over again, simply grab the bike and pedal. I do enjoy street photography and people. If you have a minute free, Google me. Take care, Loren Schwiderski
