Like a damn cinnamon roll Willem? Haha

[@DaveMontejano]

I think that’s Shakespeare.

I was on the verge of passing out. Best I could do

Roll notes is such a good series man, love seeing Willem's thought process and the video quality and grading is beautiful

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you so much! Its my favorite kind of video to make :)

[@olliewalls1903]

@@WillemVerb you're welcome man! :) keep killing it 🧡

[@RestlessCreatives]

honestly. This series is giving me life!

[@KelsomaticPDX]

That lady at the beginning is so nice! She must be an artist or be close to one. So kind to just let you back there with no questions or expectations. Love the shot with the rose petals.

[@GxAce]

This place is unreal. Seems like a theme park for film photographers haha. Awesome video!

[@WillemVerb]

Right?! Thanks man

[@camserpell]

[@jaycarroll1116]

Picture at 2:50 is absolutely unreal. The perfect picture in my opinion. Incredible series man!

[@ChrisMarxen]

Ahhh Palm Springs. Good memories. Had a real fun week there one night.

[@Benjaminjohansson93]

Was it a week or one night?😂

[@ChrisMarxen]

@@Benjaminjohansson93 night that felt like a week. Go to the Morongo, you'll understand.

[@CretinousFiend]

The picture with the petals in the pool is probably my favorite shot of yours ever.

[@NeilSmallerFilms]

The perfect blend of inspiration, entertainment and joy. Another great film!!

[@clarhettcoalfield3616]

By far one of the nicest photos of a rubber duck I've seen in a while.

[@VanijaMi]

I got chills seeing the photos pop up. Incredible colors and composition and overall scenery, just wow!

[@ZaneGage]

That triangle house's photos are nuts! Good work man great vid

[@gabrielheri1439]

The light and color are just insane!

[@ruairi7775]

Those shots of the triangle house are insane

[@jack_bench]

I grew-up in Palm Springs - seeing one of my fav KZbinrs roaming all these familiar spots is trippy in the best way. You've 110% done Palm Springs justice man

[@gibcoprobe66]

Looks like a ghost town. Like the pictures. However don't know what you did exactly in post but those greens are looking phosphorescent, like you took a page out of Vulhandes's book ;)

[@mikejankowski6321]

Ghost towns get run down and dirty. This looks like a theme park 5 minutes before opening.

[@spencersanderson4590]

Love the one with the rose petals in the pool

[@Mav540i]

“Cooking like a cinnamon roll”. That deserves to be on a t-shirt. Great photo session. It’s always great finding new places or areas of scenery. Good content.

[@ABelfakirVlogs]

your videos have a unique mood! loved it

[@Kuesa]

I've seen so many great shots come out of Palm Springs, really a wonderful spot

[@babbsgraveto]

This man inspires me so much, love your work 💖

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you so much!

[@darwishduja536]

The most awaited episode of roll notes! Absolutely love these vids and it’s vibe

[@WillemVerb]

:)))

[@DaveMontejano]

Ahhh yeah! Here we go again!!!!

[@URBONED]

As someone who lives in Australia where nearly everything gets demolished and rebuilt every 30 years, Palm Springs honestly looks like something out of a fairytale. Absolutely stunning.

[@larson0014]

Flashback to the 60's LA, back when it was still at its height

[@reecewood155]

I just bought on Olympus OM-10 and I'm going on vacation to Brittany (I live in France) and I can't wait to use it. My very first film camera!😁

[@19sixx14]

Yaaaaaassss so excited!!!!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Palm Springs the single most beautiful place on earth. period!

[@thabstract0ne]

That photo of the house with the mountains in the background and bush in the foreground was DOPE! You were right about the light being good there

[@mistermars1479]

I only know Palm Springs from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air Episode when Will and Carlton try to get there in a mercedes :D

[@TiffanyE625]

something about the green and gold tones that's just *chef's kiss* ALSO one thing that was so unintentionally satisfying to me was the footage of Willem's swinging arm holding the camera ( 4:59 ) syncing with the background music like a metronome lol

[@ElenGlazova]

Beautiful episode! I keep admiring not only the film works, but the video too. Shot amazingly and I love the colour grading how it matches the overall look of the Willem's photography. Great job!

[@RossJukesPhotography]

What a fantastic place… film photographers dream!!

[@1994OBO]

No series gets me quite as excited to go out shooting and visit Cali sometimes. The scenes, the quality of the vid, the light, the colors in your photo, I really can’t mannnnn

[@Cunboss]

Incredible light and great neighbourhood to get lost and take pics. Awesome vid ! The filming is top notch 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheGeniusOfJoe]

4:40 Willem got that gang mentality

[@ReimannPembroke]

Palm Springs is sooo cool! I think my favorite photo from this episode was the one with the lamp at 8:33 there's just something about it that makes it a really cool scene. It would look cool to have that same composition at different times of day/night

[@emanuelpaigejr.6354]

I just found your channel, and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your passion and your art

[@shinjukumasterlord6252]

My jaw dropped at 2:45 absolutely stunning work. Also my dad just bought a studebaker and it’s a beautiful/unusual machine!

[@barbaracourtens]

This video is awesome: the video quality is amazing, the pictures are stunning and the location is beautiful! Thanks for sharing :D

[@mooninc.185]

I love mid century modern architecture soo much

[@LexElls]

Loved this episode

[@DMorrissey1313]

Beautiful work once again, Willem! Always exciting when a new video drops.

[@filmsandtales5884]

EVERY EP OF ROLL NOTES IS BEAUTIFULLY MADE

[@isak242]

These photos are just stunning, love your work :)

[@misstyler9206]

That second shot with the chair was amazing- the way the light cut the scene in half so organically!!

[@anthonysheardown1126]

Man, I love these! Willem, you have always have the best tones whether it's at night, harsh sun or golden hour. I love how soft your photos are while still 'popping' with colour!

[@RestlessCreatives]

absolutely love this series 📺

[@theobibard]

Palm Spring is one of the most beautiful place to shoot in L.A for sure ! Amazing roll notes episode Willem, thank you Much love & support from France

[@radicaleyemag]

Palm Springs is GOATED, and so is this series ✨✨✨

[@willh5847]

This channel has inspired me to get back into film photography. Dusted off the camera I started photography with, my mom's old Nikon FE, and went and did some basic street photography last weekend in an old small town. Hopefully I'll get good enough to justify buying a medium format.

[@iainlaurence]

These might be my favorite of Willem’s photos, it’s a cool location

[@bartoszkrol8846]

This is like the go to relax video after horrible and tireing rainy day

[@Francois_L_7933]

Palm Springs was designed to be a winter resort. So it's better to visit at that time of the year. And if you like the architecture of the place, I really suggest taking a look at the photos of Julius Shulman. I have two of his books and the quality simply blew my mind!

[@linusandhiscamera]

a gas willem video is exactly what i needed on this mid monday morning

[@paulallen6992]

This is my favourite episode so far.

[@juiceboyxd9310]

The whole classic cars on the driveway in Palm Springs, sure it's a cliché, but who cares, they add so much character and story to the scene in my opinion. They are beautiful pieces of machinery. Couldn't imagine these homes without them to be honest.

[@Silveradoroad]

My town! Thank you for this beautiful content

[@james.00]

production value undefeated

[@sierrajane5314]

ROLL NOTES! hell yeah

[@AdverseInfluence]

Great video and awesome shots per usual, Willem !

[@mikejankowski6321]

Awesome photos!! And really great video to go along with it. You got a lot of pop with that intense light, but kept the colors very well. Standing in the shadows of the trees and getting the house and distant mountains in a very crisp, clear layer effect...wow. The triangular shadow, the flower petals in the pool. That Avanti, can't pass it up. You are spot on about how it complemented the architecture of the house. Love that image of the palm fronds occupying the majority of the frame. Both the video and stills are the kind of stuff I like to shoot. Hint - it is cooler at sunrise. Might improve your commitment to make the trade, LOL. I can relate, I like to sleep in too.

[@JM_Haze]

You’re the reason why I started shooting medium format. Keep up the good work brother! 🙏🏻

[@something3452]

I love seeing your videos Willem. You are the reason why I got so interested in film.

[@ella-wg4du]

YES ROLL NOTES ARE FIRE I missed you Willem ❤️‍🔥 and marti and your framework is beautiful I love the shots

[@asparagus.]

the color is so beautiful

[@herbie.e]

“There’s no way you can drive by this and not shoot it”

[@hmuz8388]

That G life

[@noahr9159]

2:45 one of my favourite photographs I’ve ever seen

[@gabrielamurgac]

i love everything about this series!

[@Drpftnst]

the processing of the images are way nicer than anything ive see you do yet

[@0VincentO]

Doisneau "palm springs" is one of my favourite book, so funny

[@94Aequitas]

Been stuck in quarantine for a week and one more week to go, but seeing these videos makes me ever more desperate to get out and take photos again with my 35mm cameras.

[@phil_aesthetics]

I feel like Palm Springs is the pinnacle of aesthetics.

[@TheGuilabert94]

Hi Willem! Can I answer how do you come up with those soft, dreamy looking images? Is it because of the film, depth of field, medium format or post processing, it's crazy, no noise, all about softness I really love that look in all your photos! Insane work Cheers!

[@mishkepetrus8609]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@Matthew-dn6ss]

beautiful photos, love the vibrant colours! great work.

[@michalspernakovic9136]

3:03 that was very pleasing to hear

[@eflex7278]

Bro the black magic camera footage looks amazing as well as the photos sheesh!

[@extremelydave]

I'll start off with it took me awhile to get into your style... very different from my landscape roots...but I think I understand your groove and wait to see what you come up with next. This series of videos is looking pretty interesting WIllem... keep clickin'!!!!

[@afterdark8030]

God, it looks like heaven to me. Can’t believe people actually living in such beautiful places.

[@19sixx14]

Ur so inspirational. Keep it up man.

[@19sixx14]

Especially the cinnamon roll

[@WillemVerb]

I appreciate that!

[@kladdha_]

Beautiful episode. Beautiful photos. Cinnamon Roll Notes. Yummy.

[@jaxnean2663]

with enough swimming pools, you can get some David Hockney vibes from this place!

[@motorfoxing3520]

great framing from the cameraman

[@WillemVerb]

Marti is the best

[@lameaschris5271]

its a good day when willem posts a video

[@DinoJagger]

Auto-Willem hitting us with the Studebaker nostalgia.

[@Wileyinthestreets]

Man I think this was my favorite set of all time 🤤😍

[@guidorumitti527]

2:45 such a beautiful picture

[@Zapruderfilm1963]

I assume you explained to the home owner that the cost of the camera used to shoot her home with could buy two of her homes combined.

[@Silveradoroad]

Are you certain? Check the cost of the modernism houses in PS, then you change idea

[@marijanovoselic2298]

Thank you for showing us these cool places! Amazing photos. Greetings from Croatia

[@leenkestens45]

Yay for cinnamon rolls and rose petals in the water ❤️
