Oh my the shot with the dog and the old man is so so cute. It looks like the real life Version of the Movie UP. Oh my god I love this so much. I always really really enjoy these videos.

[@camillao2270]

I'm not gonna lie, I always cry a bit when I watch your videos (in a good way). I love photography, but I live in America. And though I know it can be beautiful here, where I live there aren't many parks or social spaces, and very little greenery. And, in my opinion, the culture here is really lacking. From just the glimpses I get of Scotland and Japan, they seem so alive. People are outside, there are parks and vegetation everywhere, and the buildings all have such character. So, I suppose, whenever I see your videos, I get rather nostalgic for that liveliness, and it makes me yearn to be somewhere that isn't America. But really, I do want to thank you for your videos. Not only are your skills in speaking multiple languages, photography, and videography, very inspiring to me, but you give me glimpses of what life can be. The inspiration you give me is unmatched by any KZbinr I've ever come across. I truly hope the best for you, and thank you for the peace your videos and photos give.

[@neeravnaik]

I think you are right! People in Japan have probably found the right way to live with the modernity while at the same time have simple things that provide joy. Things like walkable cities and nature and parks around make every locality so cost and lively.

[@camillao2270]

@@neeravnaik I totally agree! There's something about America that feels very lacking in this sense, and I really admire Japan's balance and design of these spaces. I hope one day America will design its public spaces differently.

[@Wilkins325]

I have the same dilemma as you, as someone very new to photography. I like to use it as inspiration to make a better living so I can afford more travel.

[@camillao2270]

@@Wilkins325 That's a really good mindset to have, I'll try to do the same :) Crossing my fingers that one day we'll be able to visit everywhere we dream of!

[@kanakshekhawat5300]

after a long day, teo video is all i need to relax

[@wabisabi.1975]

This is amazing! I appreciate your videos so much. What draws me to you is that you actually discuss photography (the act of taking of taking photographs rather than the camera) Particularly, I like how you critique yourself. I was genuinely disappointed when I went to photography school and a lot of my classmates would talk about gear instead of actual photographs. So much of the discussion now has become about gear and it lifts my spirits up that you are keeping the actual discussion of photographs going.

[@lizar4692]

Photography is by far the best therapy. Sitting for the first time alone eating dinner and my anxiety is flaring! Your videos are so calming so thank you for creating in the way you do! It’s amazing and I hope you never stop creating.

[@aldxnapiaprj747]

aaah love pretty much this video :) you show us not only a way of seeing but also (as Kertesz said) to convey your own humanity with the beauty of world. best regards from Argentina!

[@Chris43791FTW]

what i like about your videos is that not only do we get to see great photographs but a glimpse into the Japanese lifestyle

[@anjalng]

I love your videos and especially your voice, it’s so calming!

[@MrIantodd]

Teo, I think you might be the best KZbinr ever. It’s so calm and relaxing and I learn something

[@fredb375]

always an instant click when I see these

[@jayronmanalac]

Japan is really a beautiful place! ❤

[@javixo1997]

The portrait of the old man and his dog is a 10, sooo good! Also the picture of the passing bicycle that you didn’t like much is pretty good to me

[@erin.v.z]

Right! I also loved how we could tell how Teo, you bowed in respect after the shot. ❤ Your content always inspires me to get out into my small town to shoot. I hope i can repay the favor to others someday (imagine me, virtually bowing here). 😊

[@RonalParme]

Always love your relaxing photo walks. The big bonus is that I get to see areas of the world that I will never be able to visit.

[@mynamesdeekay]

Teo thank you for making film photography so accessible through your photo walks. It’s really inspired me to appreciate the every day environment and go out and shoot more film.

[@SamBugas]

hard to comprehend how beautiful your cinematography is. Taking inspiration constantly

[@joyenjoy6280]

so much love to your gentle way and amazing art

Thankx for another video ! I love the shot with the old man and the dog .

[@johndrink2428]

What a good channel，lots of relax ,a little English learning,and lovely Japan style.

[@The_Westward_Scout]

This is hands down my favorite POV! It's inspiring how you look at your shots and critique yourself. Also, the laid-back vibe of this video is very comforting.

[@seandavis8213]

Gonna need my grandma to move to Japan so I can visit them even more. Love the video btw!

[@neeravnaik]

So beautiful. The beautiful light elevates everything to Ghibli movie like scenes. Monorail, beautiful flowers, trains, kids playing baseball and a cute old man with a dog. Everything looked perfect. I think the blurry shot with the man riding home on the cycle is actually perfect

[@sivgreyson]

i love how you capture moments. i also really enjoy your thoughts around the pictures too.

[@sivgreyson]

12:57 BORING? wrong. it’s beautiful Teo omg

[@sivgreyson]

13:36 BORING? again? wrong. Teo pls put some respect on your compositions 😭😂

16:23 convoluted is fair, i agree with you there 😅

[@pieman4545]

I love the photo of the man with the dog. I was just in Japan for my honeymoon and one of the things I loved most was the connection the people had with their dogs - I think you could make a photo project out of it

[@deanowens272]

I think on the shot with the bike guy if it had been moved over to the left the tower and power lines would act as a frame of sorts but it’s still a great photo and i really enjoyed that one in particular

[@white_edits9439]

I learn so much through these videos while also enjoying the aesthetic and calming atmosphere wich just makes it perfect!

[@satosii_nostalgia]

Hi there. Welcome to Tachikawa. you walked Shibasaki is part of the Kokubunji cliff line and rich water of Tokyo. In other words, it is also rich in greenery. The portrait of Shiba Dog and the old man is a very good photo. I applaud your courage😊.and I liked the bicycle photo best.

[@ayooobro]

i had low expectations for the shot of the man with the dog when i heard the shutter click and my god was i wrong. incredibly pretty shot. big 'Up' vibes

[@jessadayondon08]

i have been waiting for you to upload a new video, finally it's here. thank you for this, teo.

[@vicdoo7731]

Teo's new video makes the upcoming weekend even more exciting!

[@MinasaintheUS]

Omg, this is straight out of a Ghibli movie! 😩♥️ Older gentleman with a dog and the very last shot with mount Fuji in the background are just amazing! Love your work, Teo.

[@Dan_photo]

Lovely work Teo! Those colours and the light were amazing.

[@jaywhitney6533]

Beautiful video as always Teo, you never fail to inspire me with the way you see the world!

[@AlFirous]

The man and the dog 🖼️

[@pederfuglpedersen9091]

Thanks for this video. I like the pic with the guy on the bike. Zen. 💯. I think I have to mention the music .Smooth

[@Rob_Cantor]

Lovely work, as always from you, Teo. 12:06 I think you pressed the shutter at exactly the right time, with the runner halfway between the sign and the edge of the frame. 11:24 What if you cropped in from the top and right ~40%, so you keep the low clouds and the cyclist and flowers but lose the apartment building and the higher clouds, removing distractions from the cyclist and also giving him some space to cycle into? Or would that much cropping go against your personal ethic/aesthetic?

[@very-ratti]

Man, that shot of the man and his dog...when I heard the shutter fire, I thought, oh no. Oh, yes! I shouted: Truly the perfect shot!

[@arisidman5909]

such wonderful content as always, thank you for sharing your art

[@KarinMajoka]

I actually really like the composition in the shot @12:14! Almost has a Gursky vibe to it! Another awesome video, thanks for sharing 😊

[@chriscard6544]

14:52 is a masterpiece, not messy. There is a talk with the colors of the man same as the building

[@thetravelogues]

I love when motion comes through on still photos so I’m very into your shot with the man slightly blurry on the bike

[@JosephY29]

Beautiful as always teo!

[@JosephY29]

i love the photo of the man running along the track, i think the placement is perfect! i like him better there than the middle, i feel as though the middle would have been "too perfect" if that makes sense

[@michaelcphotography1]

Love these videos Teo

[@yon5567]

Relaxing as always

[@dominik.zemanek.97]

The bike shot looks decent when cropped to center the biker, but I still prefer the one with the runner. I think it works mainly thanks to the additional subject in the river bed. The two men and the transmission tower form a triangle that moves us from the foreground to the background, adding a sense of depth. The photo of the man with his dog is so nice - the lens renders them beautifully in the sunlight. And the train line at the end... 🙌💯

[@robinthesky6728]

I love the photo of the dog ❤

Awesome Video again! The vibes are just perfect!

[@alrightlistenup8855]

Just as I was about to get to bed, nice timing 🛏️

[@siralator5839]

I think the photo at 11:30 needs more negative space and maybe a wider angle? I like it but I also sense something is "off" (in a nice way) so it does not perfectly convey the story. Love your thoughts and analysis on every shot! Does help me as an analouge beginner so much :)

[@AriaM_0610]

For the shot at 11:30, I love the right side of the shot! I love the colors and I like how the towers (for lack of a better term) sort of frame the biker, as in he's inbetween them. That being said, I think what throws me off a bit is the fact that not much is going on ahead of the biker. I feel like everything seems sort of scrunched together on the right side of the frame, and there's not much going on on the left to really balance it out. Maybe if the biker was ahead a little bit more? Because looking at it again, he's not right in between the tower in the middle and the tower on the far left. If anything, he's closer to the middle tower and I think that adds to the feeling of being a little cramped on the right side of the frame. Sorry for the long reply! I really do think this is a beautiful picture, but I just wanted to point out what it was that might be throwing you off a bit about the picture as well. Love the video!

[@ritobs]

I never acknowleged how much greenry and vegetation affects our lived until this video

[@YESSIR333]

gold 200 in tokyo is the best match ❤

[@Neeintje]

My favorite shot is the guy with his bike at 15:13

[@LionFeldman]

11:30 the shot is great overall in my opinion but I can see where you are comming from, perhaps shooting it vertically and having just the grass in the foreground and sky in the background could have made it feel a bit more focused and "clean", however still a great shot and sometimes it can be really hard to think of those tiny details in the moment especially when shooting film. Also I can't wait to go back to Japan next May and these videos aren't helping my patience 😔

[@KillerTacos54]

Amazing

[@james1304_]

the bike shot - i really like the composition but there's not much contrasting colour perhaps?

[@kenmyyy]

have you changed your colorgrading style for this video ?? or its just japan is so beautiful

[@趣味生煎-w2s]

i recently shot a film stock which is called fuji c200 us version, it's pretty cheap but it looks just like kodak gold200😂

[@teocrawford]

@@趣味生煎-w2s That’s probably because the only thing different is the packaging and you were actually shooting the exact same film😅 I can’t confirm this, but there are speculations (or maybe they are confirmed, not sure?) that all the Fuji films that are “Made in USA” are actually just repackaged Kodak films🤷

[@ZoeRikardo]

Hello Teo! Are you using the camera's light meter or are you using a light meter device? I know you have the Pentax K1000. I have the same camera and are just curious.

[@fredb375]

can I ask how you managed to wind back the film without it going all the way in and being irretrievable? I've also had a few issues with my Pentax recently but haven't had the courage to try and rewind then open up the back panel

Hello Teo, in the country I live in, scanning films is very expensive. If I do this with my own camera, will I get quality results?

[@CHERAN-COLOR]

man !!!!! ur Japanese is very good.

nyaaww

[@Zebrius]

as a fellow pentax lover i always kinda wonder what lenses you enjoy using for the pentax? great video as always tho!

[@teocrawford]

I used a Cosina 35mm f/2.8 for a couple years, but recently that one sadly seemed to have been damaged so I had to replace it a couple months ago. Now I'm shooting with a Pentax 35mm f/2. Sometimes, like for about 1% of my photos, I'll switch to the Pentax 50mm f/1.7 :)

[@swishgreen]

what program do you use to edit your videos and get sounds and music if i may ask? I wanted to help a friend with a project for school and wanted to help with the editing.

[@teocrawford]

I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro! :) If you want to know more about my process, you can check out my video on this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZykkGabi7B6qqs
