You're one of the few film photog channels that I sub to that actually cuts thru all the BS. It does get really exhausting dealing with film youtubers trying really hard to keep selling stuff to me thru false advertisements (eg the digicam takes unlimited film photos trend) and also the whole defense of street photog when people need to actually be more considerate with it. Looking forward to your vid on street photog

Fuji seems as evil as Nintendo right now. Selling film nostalgia through overhyped cameras, adding film “simulations” while killing film stocks.

@sophustranquillitastv44682 ай бұрын
I heard someone in local film community said that Fuji lose their access to silver somehow, I don't know whether it's true or not but if it's true it's mean they can't produce any kind of film anymore unless it's through third party. Also, I somehow agree with you that they only sell a line of digital camera with nostalgic look and feature but they only that to just one line of camera, I still don't understand why they killed off X-Pro lineup and all rangefinder style X mount cameras and left only X100 line for that particular style of camera.

Great video. I love when people speak with accents. Southern or from other countries. I don't understand people trying to correct anyone on how they pronounce Nikon as "Nick-on" or "Niy-kon." Who gives a fuck. Did you get anything from the video or not? I certainly do. And yes, some content creaters speak in monotone. It can get difficult to get through a video with some people. But it is what it is. Again, great video.

I'm actually pretty happy with the quality of Instax film, just not the cameras. Thank God they finally made a new Mini camera that has actual features. Polaroid consistently makes great cameras but I don't like how muddy and unpredictable the film tends to be. I thoroughly agree that disposable film cameras don't have much of a place anymore. They made sense when film cameras cost as much as modern digital cameras, and when not everyone had a smartphone with a high quality camera. Nowadays there are too many point-and-shoots that can be had for $20-50 on eBay (or even new) to justify buying a one-time use camera.

I do take pictures of old trash though and I probably always will, I love how nature taking back it's stuff looks.

1. Instant film is overhyped and overpriced and takes absolutely know photography skill at all other than holding the camera still. 2. Fujifilm abandoned the filmmaking community in 2013 (reference their last CEO bluntly stating film photography was irrelevant). 3. I love Kentucky. My mother was from Liberty (Casey County) and I made a short 16mm film on my visit to Danville and Liberty). Your accent reminds me of my family down there who are down to Earth just good people and the mainstream media for years has stigmatized Southern folks unfairly as inferior. Dont change the accent. 4. I know EXACTLY which film influencers you talk about as low energy not to name names *cough grainydays* but yeah I dont get the whole jaded attitude projection either? Its like dude you should feel excited and privileged you get to shoot film in the "digital era. AND heres my issue with the film photographer "influencers" and they continue to ignore this point but they refuse to acknoledge the fact that shooting on film is about OWNERSHIP of images i.e through hard copy archiving. Thats the BIG reason I shoot film. Its not just for the "look" or it "slows me down. "Its the fact I have physical, tangible 4K hard copy image that will last over 100 years. 5. I wont even dignify the "digicam" thing whatever that is but its most definitly not celluloid but you share the same frustration with Digicams that I share with those "film emulators" that infect my Instagram news feed.

It's so weird to me that people get anal about the English pronunciation of nikon, because nick-on isn't even that much more accurate to how it's said in Japanese... it'd be something more like knee-cone than nick-on. Everyone wants an unearned sense of superiority though, so people will argue in spite of the company itself being ok with both common English-language pronunciations.

Stoked to see your vid about street photography. Consent seems to be the last thing on any street photographer’s mind. Also, about the accent thing. In one of the episodes of the amazing podcast Dolly Parton’s America, they talk about how many southern people train their accent out of their voices because everyone makes it seem like if you have a Southern Accent you’re dumb. And it broke my heart. So I asked my southern wife if she did that. And my heart got broken again cause she totally had.
