Sooo the KZbin Studio app has been updated and I couldn’t get to the usual privacy settings to schedule this video, so your Monday morning video is here early. 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️ Goodnight, folks!

[@imaaronross]

Matt Day I had to leave my video for tomorrow morning in draft and then go to KZbin studio in safari and was able to get the schedule features back. Super annoying since I try to use my iPad to keep things simple and now there is another step I have to go through. I won’t complain about the Sunday night video though!

[@jordon492]

I would pay to listen to this

[@tangyorange6509]

The sounds are such good asmr.

[@Jupiter2ignite]

Exactly

[@Jupiter2ignite]

Oddly enough. The cutting and just the sound in general are very calming. 😁

[@jonmikolrosario]

I'm watching while editing and I'd say post it both on KZbin and Spotify, wider audience and perhaps it'll bring in a little extra revenue on the side.

[@mattdayphoto]

Jon-Mikol Rosario That’s true! I’m gonna get started this week and play it by ear, but I’m definitely gonna have at the very least the audio on iTunes, Spotify, etc.

[@dct124]

This

[@redhaalhammad737]

That last question was mine. I've only started photography around this time in 2019 and people like you who have a platform to give advice really help with my development and understanding surrounding photography, especially when I don't have that many people to go to for advice like this. Thank you so much Matt.

[@mattdayphoto]

Redha Al Hammad That’s awesome, man! Really glad to hear that!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Podcast would be great - The Negative Positives Film Photography Podcast alternates shows with guests and solo shows every other week and that schedule is another option to consider.

[@PhilKnall]

Sunny 16 does a similar thing. Works well!

[@mattdayphoto]

theoldcameraguy Might be a good way to do it! Keeping my other podcast, The Shoot, reserved for more interview based episodes and Archives can be more open conversation with just myself or some photographers I’m friends with to talk about specific topics and questions.

[@hmApollo101]

Yes Matt, we're still watching

[@joelbenguigui2016]

Keep talking Matt! It’s nice and really chill!

[@adventureStaley]

Always love your authenticity man. Everyone should be so transparent. The Goat.

[@stevedylandev]

Repeating what most people have said, things I love about this: 1. ASMR 2. Free thoughts and unscripted 3. Flexibility with what you can you use the time for. Keep it up!!

[@gregstevenson7401]

Hypnotic and cathartic. Enjoyed this immensely. Great stuff Matt.

[@dreamarchist]

I already liked your older videos and I never thought that it could get even better. I like this calming down to earth way of talking about this and that much more than this lazy-cool-style (?) youtube is already filled with. With other words: I'ts simply a joy listening to you as a humble person talking about something you seriously care about from the bottom of your heart. Much love from Germany! 🤙

[@KyleMcDougall]

More! These are great dude. Do both, here and repurposed for a podcast.

[@jessrobson3029]

I'm digging the video while I do menial tasks. It feels like a hang out.

[@TatianaHopper]

Hey Matt keep doing videos like this I personally find them always very informative (like any other video you've ever made ahah) and altough we can leave the video playing in the back still the content is very interesting to listen to so wether you choose to upload it to youtube or any other platform I'm sure a lot of people would definitely be interested. Keep the great work coming!

[@calvinchann1996]

I’m happy to take any content that you’re willing to put up.

[@TheBatManFan333]

Bring back a podcast that would be SICK

[@mattdayphoto]

PASSIONATE CAR It’s on my list for this week. Once I write something down, I have to do it. So here we go. Haha.

[@JandKninjas123]

Would definitely love a podcast coming back! I still go back to those old episodes for inspiration all the time, some of the most refreshing stuff that gets me excited about photography. Love this series too

[@mediamfilm]

I personally prefer the video format while you archive. Although I mainly just listen, there's something a little nicer about being able to see the face that's talking to me. I think it works well that your archiving while doing it. I think it makes the video a little more wholesome. If you weren't archiving it and it was just the chat, it would draw more attention to the chat. The best part of this series is that the conversation is supplementary. It's nice to have it come across a little more casual. I also think from a creator standpoint, it would be easier for you to find the motivation to archive if it was also it's own piece of content, keeping you accountable. It good content and good housekeeping. I also think that because you’re doing something while talking, it helps the conversation flow more organically as you’re not solely fixated on the ideas or the message. This format should not exclude you from having guests come on to speak with you, take Hot Ones for example. You could other creators come on and you can interview them while you archive or you could both be archiving and discussing where the negatives were captured and all that. But, in any case you can't secure a guest, you're not stuck without a show to host. I think its a really good piece of content. And for those who prefer the podcast, just rip the audio and upload it. That way everyone wins.

[@FunLovinB]

Love this type of session, any opportunity for us to get more insights in to your processes, creative, and everything else that makes you that photographer you are!

[@mitchcrane2529]

Weekly would be awesome for this format! Love it!

[@thetattooedmamaoftwo4274]

I love this, and I enjoy the video version! There is something comforting about WATCHING the process, and the conversation. It’s times like these where videos like this make me feel connected, like we are having a conversation across the table with a cup of coffee! Thanks Matt!

[@jesstrisno]

I personally enjoyed it in pairs talking while archiving. It motivates me to archive with you which I finally did it today after procrastinating idk for how long since the quarantine hit and came along with the depression. so, thank you.

[@dct124]

Dude keep this format. Yes I literally just listen to it however every so often I look up. Also theirs context to the audio. The sounds have context and I also work in a group home as 1 of my current day jobs and the guys I care for watch it while I listen and do other things.

[@federicodecuadro5672]

Love this format, and the film piling up before putting it on sleeves is very relatable! Keep them coming!

[@MadisonBeach]

Yes to more of these

[@il6271]

Hi Matt, First of all, love these video's! Second, recently you talked about documentaries, have you watched ''slang aperture'' from 2012? Its so awesome! It's all about a film photographer in New York, loved it, enjoy!

[@mattdayphoto]

Talk about a flashback! I haven’t watched Slang Aperture in soooo long. Good looking out!

[@TheEditingShop]

Yep, weekly sounds good. Both also good. I can imagine enjoying the video whilst working at home or the audio in the car.

[@goldrace10]

I really like listening to a Podcast because I can record them and listen while I mow the yard or driving in the car ! Go For It ! You do a great job Matt ! Thanks for your time ! From A Fellow Ohio'en

[@amosk24]

Glad to see you're doing good, Matt!

[@jenohogan9254]

Watching you archive is oddly satisfying. Definitely down for a pod cast in either form. Pod casts are my favorite distraction.

[@theethans898]

I like this, I’m going to watch this while I archive my film

[@tammylong111]

A weekly thing? Yes, please!

[@Jupiter2ignite]

Duuuude Andrew Reynolds- the fucking boss was my absolute favorite skateboarder growing up too. He was the reason I started skating huge gaps and stairs. Those were the days man. Early 2000s

[@danielarodriguez8641]

I'm really enjoying this kind of videos Matt, but the idea of bringing back the podcast sounds pretty good to me! Either way I'm in!

[@comfortablyblind6853]

Both times, I resisted watching, but here I am. I do like it. And I watched to the end.

[@SamsonArnettRoughley]

Loved this, very satisfying and relaxing haha

[@technol-bismol3778]

I really love this I’d love to know your thoughts on Kodachrome and 16mm movie film and if you ever plan to do do something like that I really do appreciate this thanks again

[@Antnie]

What a nice coincidence that I’m spending the day archiving, wish these videos were longer!

[@brodie_lienemann]

Matt Day videos are part of my morning routine I think a podcast just talking about photography in general would be great. I often just listen to the video and not watch while I do something, I think putting It on Spotify would be perfect.

[@shaggydelvalle]

Hey Matt! I think you should do both. Export the audio and upload it to any podcast service. That way, you're "forced" to keep the concept of "archive". The sound of the cutting and the "peel" gives a unique touch to it.

[@NPJensen]

I hope, you keep this format going. If you keep making them like this, I'll keep watching, because it works.

[@johanlkenfevang6356]

Super video! a podcast with you would be great. And love the sound of you archiving is calming and motivate me to do stuf as well

[@Steaphany]

Yes, at least weekly, This is great and don't worry about how long the video goes, I'll watch to the end 9 Min 48 Sec, I'm still watching and already liked the video

[@jerryweisskohl8313]

Yes to weekly shows. I really like the format and the general photography info you are providing.

[@VictorWyatt]

I love the open format of these episodes and hope you keep it up. Social Distancing arrived last week. The book looks amazing and it feels good that the funds are going to support people affected by this whole mess.

[@AwesomeCameras]

Keep em Coming!

[@pbrhyu]

I'm really enjoying these videos so far :) I find it enjoyable to watch and it feels therapeutic.

[@ChristopherHindefjord]

I really enjoy these videos. I either have them on on my second screen when working on something, or I watch while I'm having dinner (like I did tonight). It's nice to have a face to look at and not just a voice. :D

[@davej.sherwood9848]

Loving these Matt, would love to have it as a podcast for the work commute.

[@cotswoldphotographers]

Really love this, something really nice about just listening but having you there as well. It’s so much more personal than a podcast which I struggle to listen too. Thank you 🙏

[@FabrizioZago]

I like the idea of the time window to purchase a copy of a publication rather than having a limited edition of copies, this gives the opportunity to all who wants a copy to have it, and then becomes limited when the time is over. I think it's a good choice.

[@matthewpoburyny5147]

Would love to have these conversations in both formats! It is very calming and great to edit too! Also I'd love to see a return to you chatting with other photographers! I think a lot of current photographers would benefit from a platform like yours to give them a voice!

[@kneetotheliver]

Podcast Matt ❣️. It ll be very great

[@Redsword2581]

i like the video format while archiving the film, however i can see how people would like it as a voice only podcast so you should do both

[@sarahstellino1954]

Podcasts from you would be amazing! I was just thinking that the other day

[@Larslarson00]

Love the podcast style w archiving! Both for sure!

[@FabioRubini]

A podcast would be so awesome 😍

[@taylornoel]

Very down for a weekly thing! Podcast would lend itself best to my day to day life for what it’s worth.

[@ZainRiza]

I love how Matt has basically done EVERYTHING in photography. "Why haven't you done X?" Matt: "Actually..."

[@mattdayphoto]

🤣 Gotta keep things straight!

[@crwn_munkz]

Bring the podcast back! I am not trying to kinda "plug" myself or anything like that but, it would be cool if you or anyone from the community would kinda go out of the ordinary and go discover new talent out there because I feel like all youtubers, podcasters (if that is even a word) are featuring the same group of ppl in their videos, podcast and it's all starting to feel repetitive, don't get me wrong, I love all the content specially yours. It's just the way I'm perceiving it as part of the audience ya know? It's past my bed time I might be blabbing too much! Lol! Thanks for the video Matt, stay safe!

[@ctrivin]

cant wait to see that ilford video!

[@samtannernz]

A weekly version of this (when you can fit it in) would be awesome, and yes podcast format (with archiving background sounds) would be great as it's easier to leave on in the background with a phone - compared to the youtube app which stops playing if you put it in the background.

[@donovanchin]

Bring back the podcast but also turn these vids into a podcast as well. Love that sound btw. I think I found my asmr.

[@andrewhowarth4578]

I'm good with a solo podcast, or with playing these videos in the background while you work. Very low key, very comfortable. Andy

[@pault5795]

This is so cathartic! Enjoy archiving my film with you.

[@marcusdidius4090]

Dear Matt, Canny video as always:) Love the long format of this video:) Regards,

[@chrisallred6588]

Have already received your book. Great inspiration for a similar project I am working on. Thanks for sharing. It has made a difference in my work. Keep doing what you do!

[@oopsydaisy74]

Affinity Publisher is coming to iPad soon, Matt. Check it out on MacOS first so you can see how you like it

[@UnnknownFailure]

Watching and listening while developing. In my dream world you'd do both a video like this and a audio only version. Sometimes when I work at home I like to have a vid-cast of sorts up on my second monitor but other times when I travel a lot I don't have time to sit and watch a video. That's only my perspective, if that takes to much time for you to do and I could only pick one, I'd vote for a longer podcast where you get to ramble freely

[@pablocolina8213]

Weekly? Hell yeah! I assure you we would enjoy a solo Podcast!

[@joshvrolyk]

Dude, if you can manage then please make the weekly. I’ve started watching these while scanning and developing my film and it feels like I have somebody doing it with me!

[@thegreaterconundrum]

I like the video format!

[@framue]

I really enjoy the format ... since you talked about you listening to podcasts ... question for the next “archive with me”: what are your favorite podcasts you listening to?

[@ZachParksPhoto]

I am really enjoying these videos, man. That photo of Hillary and I is still one of my favorites. Can't wait to get together again once all of this is over.

[@christianamato4193]

I think this is better as a video so we can see the stack get smaller. Would prob be motivating for people watching. And also if you answer questions about shots taken you can put them up. So I'm voting for either both or just video for this series. Hope this helps, and stay safe.

[@airconlover]

yeah really enjoying these episodes, keep em coming!

[@noahtwombly8603]

I love the podcast idea! Sometimes it’s nice have a less structured podcast to listen to!

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

this is such a good series idea! love it!

[@thejmstone9108]

This is like my pre-workout for working on projects ahaha

[@TheVFXbyArt]

Very zen and cazz, keep it up! Thx for female film list, forwarded to family photographers.

[@PhilHobgen]

this is a cool format. Looking forward to seeing that pile of film go down! Don't envy you that

[@SweetActivity]

Just like the first one I enjoyed it thoroughly! Wouldn't mind more of these 😃

[@shanndz]

Great Video Matt. Really enjoyed last weeks as well, it inspired me to get to work on my backlog of film that I never got around to cutting, sleeving and scanning - still have a lot more to do, but you gotta start somewhere, right...feeling a lot more hopeful about this task. // My vote is to try both and see what the responses are. Then decide.

[@wafa1253]

keep this up! love the story telling factor and your thoughts. Don't let your own thoughts get the better of you. Keep getting better everyday. :)

[@chrisbarrett7193]

I really miss that Podcast. I remember just crying in the middle of work listening to your conversation with Ryan Muirhead.

[@mattdayphoto]

Chris Barrett I always get a lot of really personal feedback on that episode. Very thankful Ryan was so willing to share all that he did. ❤️

[@dillonbauman4774]

I would love if you did a solo podcast! Also I do enjoy these videos as well. But I would like a longer form one, so maybe a podcast would be best

[@azzalos]

Yes to videos like this! Even a live! How can we send in questions or topic ideas to you? What’s your preferred medium?

[@mattdayphoto]

I’m trying to think of the best way to do it. At first, I thought maybe I would go through comments on the previous week’s episode, but if it ends up only living on podcast platforms where comments aren’t available, maybe I’ll set up a separate email address just for podcast questions/topics. I’ll let you guys know when I decide!

[@nicktauro3201]

podcast ftw

[@searodpaddle]

Podcast would be perfect and you have the name already "Archive with me" perfect.

[@ChristopherVisser]

Mic vid-ee-oh! Mic vid-ee-oh!

[@ZachParksPhoto]

For real. I'd be into it. I use the Video Micro mic at the moment, but keep thinking about stepping up to this particular mic.

[@jingimage1108]

please bring back the podcast, solo is fine, I can listen to it when I skate....

[@EdwardIglesias]

I like the video format. The idea of a photography podcast always struck me as kind of odd just because it is such a visual media. Also, I think a lot of people are looking for a reassuring and comforting voice right now.

[@unbrokenneil]

Would love a video and and podcast. I’m a little new to film photography. I have been doing it for a while but just got really back into it as like an outlet. I’m trying to learn a lot more about it and like to put the video on in the background while at home but listen to podcast while not at home

[@35mmlove_eric]

Both would be great. KZbin and audio on podcast.

[@HimanshuChintalapudi]

I would want to see a published book on the stuff that’s most precious to you: family photos. Now I of course dunno if you’re interested to ever do it. But just saying it would be amazeballs! Like Sally Mann style..

[@autisticlife]

You are good to listen too and interesting.

[@SrinidhiAithal]

Yes to weekly shows....a structured podcast might become too much of a commitment, but a random conversation works. Even better if the audio is on a podcast platform

[@fjalls]

You should release a ASMR video of you just archiving and taking photos in your daily life

[@MisterXD1000]

Love to actually see you talking. I feel like its kind of more personal. But i understand that maybe not everybody looks into youtube for talking. So i would prefer if you did it weekly on KZbin. But do what suits you best people will follow your desicion anyways. Thanks for your work btw ;)
