[@ioegreer]

@@kubowich yeah i think that’s the one i ordered from adorama but it’s been on back order for 4 month😖

[@pablounzueta8101]

Hey Joe, really great stuff bro! Appreciate all of your insight on this. It’s refreshing to hear another photographer’s perspective on creators block and grinding it out with consistency and hard work.

[@alva8744]

Really love ur works joe, keep inspiring

[@changgong7609]

Please update some on KZbin too, if you have time

[@romaingautier2986]

Hey Joe! Which lens are you using on this one?

[@2DogAle]

I stumbled into your channel a week or so ago while looking for content on Street Photography but for small town and suburbs and now subscribed. The people I have seen so far in your videos have been great and so inspiring. I know this seems to be a young person's game for the most part, but at 61, almost 62, I have gotten the Street bug and starting to learn from videos like yours and others so I can jump out and start my adventure. Thank you so much for all you do to support these artist and allow us to see into some of their techniques and philosophies with regards to photography and really, life. Keep up the great work. Oh, Joe was just a great person to watch. He's very confident, but still doesn't seem to take himself too seriously... More please!

[@themazin]

I am on the other end of the age spectrum just starting out at 16, its never too early or too late to start man. With your age comes life experience that can help give photos more meaning. I don't have that but I rather have lots of energy to always go out. We all have our differences and its what makes photography so diverse, unique and beautiful. Wishing you the best of luck with your street photography journey!

[@ZachLeon]

Man, this was such a nice look into Joe's method and personality. Social media skews things so much, so it's really cool to see things from a more down-to-earth perspective. Great stuff. New to the channel. Definitely subscribing!

[@leedeleon2745]

Oh damn we got a 🐐 in the comments

[@shanestorozukphotography]

I don't know too much about Joe's background, how he made it as a professional photographer or why he has haters but the man seems like a salt of the earth, genuinely solid human. Absolutely loved this walkie talkie Paul, Great stuff man.

I could watch these all day. Such a great peak behind the curtain of some of the most talented artists in the world. Thank you for putting these out into the universe.

15:53 ... love this soccer into the ocean shot! so many great shots. love this series! keep up the great work!

[@TommyGrisselFilms]

what a great video. your guys' energy together is unmatched

[@EphemeralProductions]

Those guys shaking hands around 11:30 would have been a PERFECT shot!!! Problem is you often don’t know the moment will be there until you’ve witnessed it and by then it’s too late

[@medes5597]

Greer noticed as well, he wasn't ready but you can see him clock it, he momentarily pauses on the conversation when it happens.

[@Joeyfingis]

11:17

[@EphemeralProductions]

@@Joeyfingis yup

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

05:53 my answer would be Vivian Maier, who wasn’t “discovered” until after her death. Would be great to hear her talk about her work in her own words

[@siddhantvas3550]

YES, thought of her immediately after I heard the question!

[@winslow_j]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@jasont8915]

Assuming you could get her to say anything... That really would be interesting.

[@marike1100]

Was thinking the same. Also guessed that Joe was shooting Tri-X in the first try, idk why. Outstanding images, enjoyed this so much.

[@bo_norris]

Sameeee. Instantly thought of her.

[@indi3172]

I’d love to see all the photographers pictures of the same street corner. It would be cool to see what each photographer gravitates towards in a similar sounding. 💜

[@Nedumgottil]

The colab I didn’t know I needed

[@marcelinopagan8502]

Hi Paulie My name is Marcelino and I have been watching your youtuve videos on and off for 3 months and I must say the diversity and knowledge that each photographer you have on Walkie Talkie is insightful and always different. I shoot digital ( Fuji xe 2 and 18mm and 35mm lens. And I have to watch them again sometimes because I watch them and I pick up something. What I mean by different is that the all have thier own process and journey and I pick up something that I didn't know before. . Thank you so much for your contribution to enhancing the craft and art of photography

[@noartifacts1983]

Awesome! After a hiatus i wanna go back to street photography. I only shot bnw but seeing Joe's film work inspired me to do more color photography. Thanks for the video!

[@hunterchadwic]

One of the most genuine human beings I know. ioe is one of a kind man! Thanks for sharing Paulie!

[@TokyoGritandGrain]

5:40 - People wanting to be photographed is such an amazing thing and NYC is the epicenter of that sentiment. I can't imagine having shadowed Bill Cunningham on his walks. In Tokyo, there are SO MANY opportunities for similar photography, but often times there's an aversion to it from the people being photographed. It's all so interesting, but we keep on keepin' on with it. Please visit when you can!

[@Sulceba19]

I’ve been waiting for this colab! Such a great episode.

[@davidellinsworth3299]

Really love his work. The quality of the final image is stunning

[@williamhrivnak9201]

Love this! I listen to music almost all the time shooting street

[@telepoiss]

Wonderful vibe here. Thanks for this you both

[@thefilmdaddy]

Damn I didn’t even know these existed! Paulie, love your work and now I have to binge all these episodes.

[@Angelo.Partemi]

Another amazing Walkie Talkie! Love these!

[@ShawnPBruce]

What a great episode. I spent a bunch of time by Jack’s Wife Freda a couple weeks ago. It’s one of my favorite spots.

[@avdidit]

i cannot believe you still only have 5k here. undeniably good work every single video. only a matter of time g!

[@christopherrodriguez7223]

Jack’s wife is the spot, always a great time. Thanks for the video, I very much enjoy this segment.

[@Larrydavey]

Very easy to watch w/this episode, and motivating.

[@stephond.photography9867]

I actually started in photography with drone then street. I’m missing street so much. I’m thinking of with getting a film shooter or a Fuji that has film simulation especially with film prices going up I don’t wanna waste film while real film shooters are in need. But your channel is bringing that passion back. I can get great subjects in DC

[@albertcumin]

not the biggest fan of Joe's work normally but what a great episode. Think it helps a lot that he's clearly a good friend with you and is relaxed. All the best to you both

[@justinleejamison]

Hell of an episode, fellas!

[@MKNYC_]

Music inspires me to shoot a certain way, in Manhattan I don’t like to not hear what’s going on around me but when I’m in the more calm parts of NY, music is a must

[@Wangan_W]

I loved the dynamic between you two in this episode. This series is amazing!

[@Hipster_In_Denial]

Really enjoying the videos on your channel, Paulie B. Very inspiring and just a pleasure to watch. More than anything you show what a wonderful experience it is to photograph on the streets, something that I've only started doing this year. Thanks for making all of this happen 😉

[@Ldsm11]

This was a great video! The algorithm suggested this to me and I don’t know who either of these guys are. I’ve seen a few other street shooting videos like this before, but this was way more entertaining and the actual photos were so much better than from other videos I’ve seen. Props to both of you!

[@RetroHoo]

I really enjoyed this. Joe Greer is definitely someone I will follow from now on. Cool guy love the work

[@husshardan3511]

great stuff and nice to see Joe so open about the process - appreciated. I'm in LA and street photog here is limited. Downtown LA used to be good pre covid - but even then it went to sleep in the evening. But now? Over-run by transients and so many of the regular people are gone. Not a good scene to try and walk about taking pics. Still good spots are Venice Beach, and the Santa Monica boardwalk. But nothing like NYC or Chicago. A film I recommend is Kentmere 400 - made by Ilford - and super cheap compared to TriX or even HP5. About $5.25/36exp. Has that old school film look w nice visible grain, a little halation for back lit glow and easily pushed.

[@parchedpixels5804]

This is the second episode that I’ve seen and both times the photographer was shooting film (and the host !). Is film still a thing? I’ve been out of the game entirely for the past 9 years but just got me a z6iii to dive back in. Stoked on this Walkie Talkie series, Paulie. You’re killin it brother.

[@malcolmtaylor518]

Great dialogue, pure entertaiment.

[@curtypachec6055]

Gets a lot of heat, but the man is down to earth and definitely talented. Great video!

Not sure authentic and Joe Greer go in the same sentence tbh.

Never heard of you,I love this!🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@johnmacaspac410]

The frames at 9:50 and on are hilariously amazing

[@justamanwithanopinion]

Joe seems like a really cool guy. I'm not sure what sort of comments he faces online but I've seen nothing to make me think he deserves any negativity. Great video.

[@On_The_Piss]

Think the Mormon episode of South Park and you're on the right track.

[@kiwipics]

Maybe people are fed up with constant videos of the so-called street photographers who run around the streets like a 5-year-old with a camera and end up with 99.999% garbage shots, but people think they're the best thing yet. I love the walkies videos, but some of the photographers wouldn't be someone that I'd be interested because of the bland photos. Mellissa O'Shaunessy has been the only one that I thought was truly honest and true to herself. Horses for courses as they say, or the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same stuff, music, photos, books or hobbies.

[@cherbz2006]

Great episode! Anyone know what kind of viewfinder that was?

[@TIPSinc01]

My two favorite street photographers in one video. What more can I ask for haha. Great video, really love the things you’re doing! Keep it up!

[@JayGrapherTh]

totally had a small 1 day country side trip with my aunt with a film camera and only when I went to the developing shop where i open it up and realize there was no film inside, big heart break. lesson learned.

[@LifeinDigitalFilms]

These episodes are fantastic! Do any of the photographers ever get asked where the photos will be featured? I just wonder if some of the people being snapped get curious.

[@nobodytoomusic]

Great video, tons of insight! I would actually like to know more about Joe's career, would be sick to hear it all

[@jckodaks]

Awesome episode!

I swear these videos get me so inspired to go out and photograph. However I’m finding all my visits to Downtown LA are becoming saturated. I think I need to take a trip to New York

Great vid, very entertaining. My answer for a deceased interview is Vivian Maier. I also almost always listen to music when shooting. Only don’t when I forget to charge my headphones. Keep up the great work!

[@standardyeepz]

Harvey Keitel did a cool photography project and stood on the same corner in Brooklyn every day and took a photo from the same spot. you get to see one ladies routine the whole year. she never missed a day if i recall correctly.

[@StreetPhotographyChannel]

I really enjoyed this video. And I don’t get the haters thing with Joe, because personally anytime I see him on video looks a nice guy.

[@Andreazendali]

Just found this channel! Great content! Also loved to see joe greer. I know it’s a little different but I would love to see a walkie talkie with sam youkilis Have a great day

[@D.Trider]

It’s an interesting approach. I wonder if intent is different for todays photographers versus photographers from the 70s, 80s. Where today the story is more about the photographer, and 30-40 years ago, the story was about the photograph.

[@D.Trider]

To further clarify- I don’t think the latter is less important- I just wonder how perhaps ‘intent’ translates through to the quality of the images, purpose, narrative, storytelling etc. I think these interviews /walk arounds are great but it seems we all as artists are required more and more to personify our “brand” in order to stand out from the very crowded space of visual artists.

[@D.Trider]

@@caleidoo so much love for this perspective. Thx for sharing and maybe one day- those of us that share this perspective will be included in the story. -Much love

[@joonlee8510]

I'm trying to figure out how film shooting is better than digital for streetshooting as film is not cheap to buy and to develop/scan. An M10p and a Q2m would be ideal, I would think - wouldn't Joe get better pics? What am I missing here? Don't get me wrong, I love film and have multiple film cameras.

[@viewfinderthis]

This was awesome to watch. Just found your channel. Would love to shoot sometime !

[@daymonpearcey8468]

Fantastic watch, cool video

[@DevonChristopherAdams]

Gotta ask... Joe, what music do you listen to while you shoot street?

[@zachscheel3784]

Anyone know what bag he is working with?

[@DecentGatsby]

Ona Bowery?

[@JoseHerrerawl]

Going by Greer’s point about people wanting to get their photos taken, you could see that in the woman smoking cigs lol. Nothing wrong with going with the obvious choice! Would love to walk about with Winogrand.

[@justokcod8603]

Hey so what external viewfinder is that???

[@DecentGatsby]

Zeiss 28

[@creekymechanic]

16:30 is that dan mace??

[@slimnics]

can i ask, i can see the mic, but what are you using to record the sound into?

[@Pissnglass]

probably iPhone or pocket recorder such as zoom or small tascam
