a day w/ Chinese-American Photographer Gee Moon Tom in Sunset Park Brooklyn -- Walkie Talkie ep. 20

[@domenicming9551]

the shot of the kid with all the string foam was TOO fire

[@domenicming9551]

actually im still watching and so many beautiful photos

[@Bigburt-]

I thought so too, should make a great print

[@GuliversTravelocity]

I love the anthropological lens of someone living and shooting in these communities. I love when the walkie-talkie photographers are as knowledgeable as Gee Moon Tom.

[@_buttertigers]

yo my man gee moon legit carrying a hand held stool to just chill and have a coffee and a bun. that's certified dope right there.

[@NerdAffiliated]

My favorite Saturday morning activity, is breakfast with Paulie B!

[@juaneduardo85]

This walkie-talkie might be my favorite one. Gee has an authentic dope swag, and I love the pace he has with his photography. Take your time, and don't rush it.

[@justinkingery2489]

GMT has great NYC style. He's confident, laid back, thoughtful, intelligent, and proud of his heritage. In those ways, he's a lot like many of the photographers Paulie spotlights in this series---and he's a lot like Paulie in that respect, too. I really admire GMT's approach to capture a place and a sense of story. Really hoping he gets that project out this year. Gorgeous MP, too!

[@AlexOnStreets]

I met and hung out with Gee a few times during my time in NYC. Let me tell you, because of him my time there was significantly better. He showed my around sunset park too and I also have a video planned for that when the time comes. I'm really happy to see him represented on your channel. He's one of the real ones making the story of NYC history a living thing, not just stuck in the past but in the present. Thanks Gee and Paulie for the good work.

[@OhDeeDoubleU]

best photography series on KZbin by far

[@wylie_photo]

That was great to watch, I was so engrossed in it that I was sad to see this one finish. The more I watch them, the more I see how different photographers work over there, but also the cultures of different parts of the city.

[@jholdip]

So much love for Gee Moon..one of the coolest persons I've met serendipitously. Happy to see him on on this brilliant series 💚

[@Larrydavey]

Carries his own chair. He’s all about the vibes, gotta love that.

[@Savage_D_777]

Your longer edits of these are cool. Aint noone rushing, this aint tiktok. loving it! thanks!

[@xpotau]

Very calm and respectful, this is the way.

[@AlexCaesar]

So happy to see Gee Moon on here! Keep up the good work!

[@nobodytoomusic]

Really appreciate you highlighting guys like this. Love his work and his style, but really appreciate his authenticity and unique knowledge about a specific place and culture!

[@frejarichardy6232]

this is probably my fave series on KZbin - please never stop making Walkie Talkie

[@jameswilted]

Brilliant. I love this series so much, I hope Gee does put out that book that he mentions, I would certainly want to buy :-)

[@nechemiahblokh6947]

One of my favorite episodes yet

[@TheWutangclan1995]

Going in, I knew this video is gonna be another banger. I was right but also at the same time didn’t expect it to be self reflecting for me. Couldn’t help but relate myself to Gee in various ways. Especially with how immigrant parents view this craft because I deal with it myself. Love this video!

[@Rastiano]

Scrolling through these photographers' ig while listening to their episode of walkie talkie, is so inspiring. Thanks Paulie ❤️

[@analogish2046]

This one was dope man. I liked that it was a little more on the documentary photography side of things. Great shots throughout!

[@emarqz]

NEMOOOOO!!! - Never Not Riding - Huge fan of this dude and his overall style.

[@justamanwithanopinion]

I haven't watched this yet and already know I'm gonna love it. This series is so inspirational and I WILL be signing up to Patroen for the extended versions.

[@RolandKaufmann]

This series is what it’s all about! It’s so inspiring to hear from everyone in the NY street photography community and hear their approach and mindset. Paulie you’re a G for doing all this. The way you interview and document the whole process is amazing!

[@davidhui2008]

“It’s passion! Doing sth we love.” So true! Doing street photography is enjoying!

[@michaelcorleone7598]

Another great episode 👏

[@ReimannPembroke]

This was a great episode! He seems so calm when he’s talking photos and just like he is truly enjoying the creative process which is so beautiful to watch

[@jonashuck]

love these conversations about photography. Thanks for your great work!

[@hwackett]

Thank you, Paulie B, for bringing these walk and talks.

[@banjo5835]

Another great episode. Please keep doing these forever Paulie.

[@nabilprapanca]

and again, thank you so much for this amazing videos, it inspired me so much

[@olcanakcay]

Another joyful episode! Thanks Paulie!

[@camelotvanerven9667]

That MP is a true gem!

[@RebelRDX]

Something very cool about this guy. The clothes, the rings, the head scarf. The chair slung over his back. Calmly moving through the crowds like a friendly shark 😀 - really enjoyable photos

[@hugomartinsphoto]

Another hit, Paulie!🍻

[@ruehled]

Great episode. He has a ton of potential. Will buy the book.

[@russell2165]

wonderful. wonderful. what a lovely person. and i love the quality of the pictures... not clinical, but powerful. they could pass off as pictures from another time.

[@russell2165]

oh, and i love the culture lessons along the way. you can tell how much it means to him.

[@bevup]

These are so good! Love the content!

[@BakerWild]

I love how you capture these videos man

[@KeithBeTatted]

This was a dope Walkie talkie. His style dope.

[@BIKE_LLECI]

This content is always great. Love this series.

[@derrindizon7903]

Love this series so much Paulie, keep killing it man.

[@naeemdouglas_]

My guy Gee Moon!!!! Great video!!!

[@kaeptnkrunch9212]

I really like his work and style

[@DarvRamirez]

It was cool bumping in to you today @ macy’s bro! Extra hyped for this new vid.

[@clintwoosley9512]

What an fantastic video about a great photographer! Please keep these coming!

[@RayMendezN.Y.C.]

Love this video. And love this series. Keep up the great work 🙌🏾

[@aramdavid]

Wow, never knew about this guy. Thanks for this! His stuff is great.

[@petez_el_aventurero8137]

another great one here

[@Ali-sj5pn]

Great episode 🎉

[@awardtour93]

This was great. Thank you

[@EdwargGz]

Moon is the man! I know him personally and he is REAL 🙌🏼🔥

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Excellent episode, interesting guy. He looks a bit like a slimmer version of Action Bronson (huge fan) Thanks for sharing.

[@dkompolt1234]

great episode

[@ericonly]

Dude is super cool. Great episode.

[@luisviedma6907]

Amazing inspiration!

[@TommyGrisselFilms]

Brilliant!

[@inkaststudio]

I agree with homie! B&W is the ish fr fr 👍🏾🙌🏾

[@almostausername96]

He should definitely publish his work

[@dkcarroll13]

Great video!

[@burmashavetom]

Haha, so I watched this, then went to his website. Then saw he had a Toronto, Canada section (my hometown), then saw pictures of my friends fire spinning at Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market. I couldn't make it out that one in July. Crazy how close a NYC photo suddenly got to me after seeming so far when I was watching the video. 👍

[@JJ_Photo]

Great episode. Gee Moon know his stuff! And great to see someone referring to the website, not only Insta. Look at both - and see what makes photographic meaning for you. For me a website is just so much better for photos, than the endless stream of images on Insta....

[@banjo5835]

I'm re-watching the whole series recently and I've been looking forward to this specific episode so much since I remember how much I loved his style of photography and just his relaxed and positive overall attitude. I'm kinda sad I'm living in a smaller town in Europe where there isn't really a community like this. I would love being able to photograph my community and surroundings but all I got is my friends, family and the next bigger city I visit on a weekly basis to shoot there.

[@johnbullock8885]

I have to remember to use a slower shutter sometimes. The blurriness in some of his photos make them more powerful than actually freezing the action.

[@VincenzoNoletto]

It's fun that his hat say "Fotografo", as photographer but in italian :D

[@Betrue875]

This popped up on my list. It's great! A nice guy too! I like his perspective on B&W. I like both color and b&w, but that's me! Different strokes, I guess.

[@125f8]

Nicely done guys. ❤

[@_H_2023]

If you ever see Gee Moon tell him if he has a small booklet with about 30 street prints in it that fits in your back pocket, he can show this and they won't feel so threatened, it works for me especially around dealers on the street, it just stops confrontation once they see your work.

[@jordhon]

Moon Tom is a real one! Good shoutout to Corky Lee too. Ton yan gai forever!!!

[@bengibbardofficial]

another banger ty

[@elitorres9827]

Dope vid like always. 💪🏽 Where did Gee get that stool I need to get one

[@tulasnaps]

Beautiful episode. Cool ass dude too.

[@wesbender9629]

Thanks for this interview. Really enjoyed Gee's perspective, point of view and his laid back persona. Seems like a very wise man! That said, I still don't "get" why people shoot with the MP (and it's M3 /M2 antiquated rewind knob!). Yeah, you'll def miss shit rewinding your spent film with it! Cheers!

[@tylero8595]

I like this guy. I grew up in Richmond, BC. A suburb of Vancouver. All my friends were from Hong Kong in elementary school. There was a big immigrant bump in the 70s and 80s to Vancouver. I was the odd kid out being white in my neighbourhood. I got my ass beat constantly. But we had so much fun.

[@davidsierra637]

This was a nice walk.

[@SUPAFLYMJ]

One thing I enjoy about this is I get to observe a photographer in the moment as opposed to being a photographer in the moment. An observation I have from that though is you really cant tell when someone presses the shutter beside by noise lol, and I’m always worried about that

[@joshuaan5396]

Dude carrying a chair is killing me! 😂

[@Hangiinjohnny]

His hat is cool as hell

[@whatsgood001]

As someone who doesn’t have much experience in photography, I never thought you could wear sunglasses while using a viewfinder/rangefinder to take photos lol

[@nastynate838]

i like homie’s style

[@ernestthomas9406]

this is better than watching those kids talking about bull shit.

[@justinkingery2489]

Can anybody ID the tripod chair? I want to make one, but I'd like to spec out the one Gee Moon Tom is using. I really dig the way the strap wraps around the legs as he's got it on his shoulder.

[@125f8]

Paulie when you gonna come across the water and visit the UK ?

[@Wasp9513]

Amazing episode! Anyone knows what sling bag he is carry??

[@ovoyager1124]

Sometimes you interview noobs and this time you interviewed a pro

[@monkeywrenchedphotography1876]

🖤📷🖤

[@conchscooter]

Chinatown is colorful, black and white seems an odd choice. I love his philosophy on shooting.

[@jasperpoore]

Where’s the scarf from though?

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Maybe I missed it but what are the two sticks he is carrying?

[@lameaim]

It’s a three-legged stool. He’s sitting on it in the early part of the video

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

Where did he buy that snazy butt tripod!?

[@jly8211]

the funny thing is that China has banned fireworks across the country due to increasing air pollutions...So now the NYC Chinese New Year celebration is more authentic.

[@waratkasitanon5323]

its 777 likes and i want to press like but dont want to mess it up u know what i mean.

[@cahleena]

Love this series, and this photographer seems awesome. I'm looking forward to checking out his work. But please note, Taiwan is not a part of China. It is a sovereign nation that is constantly under threat from China. Yes, there are ethnically Han Chinese people who live here (I'm in Taiwan) and people speak Mandarin, but this does not mean that they are a provence of China. Thanks!

[@HenryStradford]

2:22 NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@SidVidZid]

He’s keeping his business options open in China.

[@mesagoat]

who wants to chill wit GMT drinkin biers wit yuge platters dim sum, sumwhere on the 8?

[@toldschmidt]

@2"20 "most people there are Taiwanese people, and that's a whole different part of China too". 🤨

[@lucasinesta6260]

Wtf is fujifilm phase?

[@rewris]

Taiwan is a whole different part of china too… y’all

[@goobiedoobi]

I mean it is part of the sinosphere

[@matureyoungman]

I like when I can gain a deeper understanding of peoples and cultures. it's very unamerican.

[@edchiglijak5383]
