Neighbor: Hello 911? There is a strange man taking pictures of my house and car with a stupidly big camera. The operator: Oh that's just Willem. He moved to LA recently. He's pretty chill.

[@bluebenz]

That’s my 81 baby blue benz ha! Can confirm we saw him and were wondering what was up...

[@maxwellwellmax878]

once I took out my Mamiya AFD and one of the neighbors asked me what the heck i was doing? I told her Im taking pictures with a film Camera, she looked puzzled and asked me Why??? XD.

80s Mamiya aswell 🤘

"GOLDEN HOUR ANXIETY" that describes that feeling perfectly!! Been there before. Great video

[@Al_Bx]

When Willem, Jason, Caleb, and Nick (and maybe my girl Chris B) are gonna meet on the same corner taking pictures this is going to be one hell of a spiderman meme moment.

You should consider taking this series up to the Bay Area.

[@xxGravyBabyxx]

Minolta Gang

[@WillemVerb]

We absolutely will!

[@kikuomiku3]

Yeah you’d love it up here, tons of beautiful houses and cars nestled up in charming neighborhoods.

[@Anfernee_G]

Welcome to LA! I know you're new here, but Angelino Heights and Silver Lake are not the Eastside. I've lived here my entire life and currently live in Little Tokyo, which is near the real Eastside (Boyle Heights). It's really not as bad as it used to be, but has a lot of beautiful photo ops. I hope you enjoy your time here and hope to see you walking around my neighborhood in Little Tokyo sometime!

[@orngpeelr9017]

Exactly, as someone from BH I was letdown, but definitely hope he ventures further out into actual East LA.

[@kennethmewis4335]

Just a note: "East Los Angeles" is a very different area than the East-Side (where you are) of Los Angeles.

@@Iliya_sh72 this is still pretty much Central LA, East LA is just a different area more East

@@Iliya_sh72 east side (silver lake, koreatown, east hollywood) is still west of DTLA, but it's to differentiate itself from the west side (santa monica, culver city, etc.)

[@andrewbartram2478]

Lovely start. So many channels don’t have the “diary feel” like this does . And you’re not banging on about the gear which is perfect.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Looks like this is going to be a great series. Loving it so far.

[@Artxsify]

you know when Willem takes out a tripod everything gonna be fire

[@theobibard]

The quality of this series is insane ! The shots are amazing, the vibe is amazing Thank You Willem, much love & support from France ♥

[@999carson]

I resonated with so much that you were saying about feeling inspired by all the new surroundings and burning off a roll, I myself recently moved from Texas to Seattle and everywhere I drive I wanted to pull over because I see photo opportunity's everywhere

[@Kokorba6iqta]

I love the new series. Your style of work and videos are so calming and immersive. Pure joy and of course very...nice!

[@bobsykes]

Yes! I was really looking forward to when you settled in a bit after your move and started sharing your discovery of LA. ✌️

[@clossertothehell3783]

Willem, thank you! You motivated me to try something new and beautiful, to creat special things and memories. Also, knowing myself and telling people who i am without words. Your channel helps me a lot. As a beginner i learned a lot information from you. Content which you showing here is pure gold and your energy is indescribable. Keep going, you are so precious!

[@heathbrowning34]

Great video and some beautiful images too! I couldn’t think of anything better than wandering around the streets of California taking photo’s. I can’t wait for the next video Willem

[@TheWutangclan1995]

Man Isaiah came back to TDE, Cole just dropped some heat, and our boy Willem has returned to bless us with another video! It’s been a good week so far. Also enjoy LA! Place looks beautiful.

LOVE the new series concept and this video! amazing work Willem & co!

Good to see you're settling in well in LA. Love this new concept. LA does love the vintage Mercs it seems.. Be safe my countryman!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

I love this new series. 😍 reminds me of the beginning of your channel, it almost makes you sentimental. 😄

[@KevinBurleigh]

Dude, I'm definitely stealing that "Golden hour anxiety" phrase. So relatable!

Nice! I got a Canon A1 recently and your videos have helped me out a lot. I'm more of a video guy so being able to hear from someone who know what they're doing is sooo helpful

[@mattiashaggstrom2049]

Always inspiring to see your videos. I really like the image style you have. Looking forward to more episodes in this series.

[@bbyvvitch3384]

Welcome to LA!! LA is always sunny until sunset and even the overcast days are lovely. There is a huge different between East Los Angeles and Northeast LA. You’ll have fun exploring different parts of LA as they’re all unique in its own way.

I haven't been watching photography related vids for a while now since I've been struggling to find my drive and niche. This video really helped me and I always enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@gusdstevens]

Sooooo excited for the series. this one was amazing

[@Verygrimcoyote]

Hey Willem, love the video series concept. If you wind up continuing it down the line I hope you get to explore the really diverse neighbourhoods LA has like Little Tokyo, Historic Flipinotown, Little Ethiopia and more. It'd be really cool to see how the city's different areas look through a newcomers eyes. Much love.

[@milododd]

Hi Willem, I really appreciate the concept behind this series. It's nice to not have the focus on gear, or selling some piece of equipment as the focal point. Good on you for keeping it about the art. Speaking of which, I think the shot at 9:06 is stunning and one of your best. Definitely reminiscent of oil colours and a wonderful composition.

[@sydneykerr7020]

Was feeling really frantic until I sat down and popped on this video. Instantly more peaceful. Your videos are so meditative 🙌🏼

Hey Willem, even though this video is now a year old, I still find myself coming back to it. It's a huge inspiration and I'm getting so many ideas for my first visit to LA (and US) this summer. Do you plan on doing more episodes of roll notes like this, just maybe in a different neighborhood? This is amazing and keep up with all of your great work.
