[@jonevans35mm]

This episode brought me to tears. They don’t make em like Jill anymore. What a fuckin legend ❤

[@WSOTL]

I know how you feel. Every-time I watch it and believe me.. it must have been thousands.

[@frame-lines]

This is incredible. Thank you for making this film about Jill with the degree of sensitivity, honesty, and warmth she deserved. -Shane

[@WSOTL]

Shane... you're very welcome. She was amazing to know even for the short time I did.

[@JosephLockleyPhoto]

photo people, we've hit the fuckin jackpot here. incredible.

[@kwilesjrnews]

Jill is the embodiment of "salt of the earth". Raw, unfiltered and unapologetic. Her work is amazing and inspiring and what a journey through life she had. This was put together so beautifully and really brought us into the room with her. Incredible work.

[@WSOTL]

Hey! Thank you.

[@george_edward_]

Nearly brought me to tears at the end. There's something truly painful about just feeling like you got to know somebody then immediately learning they are no longer with us...

[@WSOTL]

Everytime I watch... same feeling

[@jackspaeth7144]

Not only does this make me excited about photography but also aging and experience. Jill is another kind.

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

[@ssoundwaves]

"It's terrible, I used to be cute, that's the trouble. If I was always ugly it would have been fine". That needs to be a bumper-sticker!

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

😛😛😛😛

[@RyanNavazio]

Can’t really express how this made me feel so I’ll just say thank you for this.

[@WSOTL]

Enough said

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

An incredible watch. Laughed, cried, shocked, disturbed, moved an incredible photographer, human, a spirit, a full life with no BS. A great GREAT DOCUMENTARY

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

❤❤❤❤

[@nickwilde1489]

I don’t smoke but I would LOVE to have a joint with this woman - whisky no problem - she is an 8 foot personality in a 5 foot container. Great piece, thanks for sharing this.

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

🥰🥰🥰

[@AtilioEscobar]

My god this was so special. With such a special women. I lost it at the end.

[@ilovewhatido]

29k views??? What a tragedy…..this episode is GOLD 💯🔥

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

haha. thx! Come on youtube... lets goooo!

[@HighlyAkicktive]

Every single one of those pictures shown was a banger. Man, what an amazing woman and energy! Thanks for the interview, you captured a legend!

[@WSOTL]

She literally has thousands more that could have made the cut. Unreal.

[@SpookyConcepts]

Hearing Jill talk always puts a smile on my face. One of the greatest of all time, and didn't hold anything back

[@WSOTL]

She didn't mess around with holding her tongue.

[@skeenut]

josh.ethan.johnson, well, this overwhelmed me. You got me. I didn't want to leave her presence, I just wanted to try and keep up...Your relationship with her and letting me in on it feels like such a privilege and it brought me to tears. I really didn't want her to leave. And the work, incredible, prolific.

[@StefanBacum]

I've watched a lot of videos in which photographers say the same thing : shoot what you want, how you want, be in the moment etc. It never hit home for me. But this, this is pure gold for me. So many lessons to be learned in how to see the act of photography but most importantly, how to live. A true devil may care attitude that is so rare these days! Miss Freedman, chapeau!

[@WSOTL]

Well said!!

[@lidds__]

Man, she was so amazing. You must be so honoured to have known her. Love this piece, and the series.

[@WSOTL]

I felt very lucky!! Thanks for the kind words.

[@dillimeinbilli]

This woman is real goals - if I could live a day, a month, a year in my life like she has I would be lucky.

[@Jasmynmarie]

This is amazing.

[@WSOTL]

Thank you!!! Lots more films on photographers where this came from.

[@alexandru_mitu]

Wow wow wow. I m speechless! This video was a carousel of emotions. Thank you!

[@WSOTL]

It's ok to be speechless next to Jill. He says it all. Happy you enjoyed!

[@sumnerbyrne1188]

Brought me to tears. What a woman, and her work shows the same frankness and tenderness. Great job.

[@HeatishLien]

What an incredible woman!

[@SusanHecht-o5j]

Thank you Josh for introducing a new generation to the world to Jill Freedman & her amazing photography!❤

[@WSOTL]

Can you believe the outpouring of positivity here? I mean.. I can but it's still great to hear. Thanks again for your help here!

[@deathbystereo-]

damn when I saw at the end she passed I teared up. what a fantastic lady. spoke her mind, no fucks given and some wonderful photographs. RIP Jill. thank for 23 minutes of forgetting my worries foe the day ❤

[@alissong.]

If this is not the best photography video that I have ever watched is top 2 for sure, PURE GOLD, she is fabulous.

[@rykerroberts5128]

Jill has some of the most captivating street photography I’ve ever seen in my life. Truly under the “every frame a painting” mantra

[@DistantLightProd]

I had to watch this again, what a wonderful Women, a true photographer.

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

She was one of a kind for sure! Thanks for the support.

[@TheOnlyMehmet]

“no fucky fucky” 🤣 she is a fuckin riot!!!

[@therealsergio]

I have to appreciate her uncomplicated presentation as an artist in love with her art. I am sure her psychoanalyst could have coaxed out of her an endless self-absorption with the question of why she did what she did, but I am glad she spares us all that drivel and just shows us the love - directly. Simply.

[@Keeganshero13]

I wish I could’ve loved this video because just liking it is like diminishing it

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

🥂🥂🥂🥂

[@sahithyanambiharathinam]

1939 - 2019 This thing broke me. I never know that she passed away. Such a legend

[@blackheartusa]

Best one yet!

[@the.vetiver]

A true one of one.

[@LazyGody]

I love this so much. She will live forever through her photos.

[@scott-ish404]

So many words of wisdom! And yet most photographers still chose to ignore them completely and just carry on taking mediocre and pointless pictures!

[@faded_memory]

This made me cry. Just incredibly beautiful. What a legend. Thank you for this series.

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

Glad to haer you're enjoying it. More to come soon hopefully.

[@jessiewonka]

Beautiful.

[@MrPhotographerDude]

She was truly amazing

[@synesthesia_ukr]

So beautiful

[@rubbersouul]

DAMN, that last shot is EPIC

[@RyanEdwardWise]

11:17 Now who on earth could she be talking about here? lol Watched twice and coming back for more. So, so grateful for this docuseries of amazing artists.

[@BoSoen]

Shiiit, I didn't expect to cry watching this. Her work was marvelous and I can see how she charm her way into everyone hearts

[@WSOTL]

Sorry about that Bo. Still gets me too.

[@CameronWarren-w7s]

This is everything

[@michaelkunitzky]

Something I kept thinking while watching this, only several levels..."they don't make 'em like they used to". This woman is great. I wish I knew about her sooner, glad to learn about her now. If she were still alive I'd try to spend time with her for more stories. Thanks for capturing and sharing the ones she told you.

[@stevelawson2841]

This was tremendous. Her work is breathtaking, and I could have listened to her talk about her life for hours. Biopic with Natasha Lyonne as Jill Freedman when?

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

Make it happen :)

[@alexlee3227]

That was amazing. I spent the whole time watching thinking about how I would to meet this lady and hear more of her stories. Then, I see the end of the video and learn that she’s passed away already. What a character, and a terrific photographer.

[@AndrewAbrahamVisuals]

This thing was a rollercoaster of emotions. Just a beautiful retrospective with her. So glad someone documented her legacy like this!

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

Glad you enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to capture.

[@gentlefoo]

[@WSOTL]

One of a kind that one.

[@surajrai8349]

It was an honour to get to know about her and the beautiful work she created.

[@Cuanchankane]

The courage of this woman, the unfiltered vision and non apologetical way of living. Her story is very inspiring. Thank you for this

[@djffwd]

I love Jill and her work. Thank you for this beautiful and kind documentary.

[@foldunderbeforesealing5913]

[@jeffhoffman3429]

I appreciate your honesty, if everyone could be so real. You are salt to the earth, thank you for your incredible stories.

[@rexgigout1472]

Thanks for this beautiful presentation; a wonderful tribute. Tough lady, but truly empathetic. A life well-lived. Being a now-retired big-city cop, I must say that she absolutely nailed it, with her images of NYC police officers and firefighters.

[@WSOTL]

Great to hear!

[@jamesjensen3436]

beautiful

[@HayleyDrawmer]

Fantastic film, what a woman

[@wandertwins]

She lived a remarkable life. The way she wanted too.

[@11minslater]

A fitting and special tribute to a very special artist ❤ great work

[@niclef3421]

What a fire-breathing firecracker!! Her photos match her personality too! Here's to being as brave, irreverant and true to your passion as Ms. Freedman has been

[@TravisHenson777]

Legendary. This should be entered into a short film contest or festival or something. Badass

[@AlejandroGonzalez-io7ei]

This is the best thing I have ever seen on KZbin. By far.

[@JoshEthanJohnson]
