ASMR 19th Century Photographer

[@Neit-1916]

I heard him say " Imagine, if you will" and my mind instantly thought of Ephemeral Rift

[@dustinbellair5822]

The EXACT same thing came to my mind.

[@bosletof]

[@loui4898]

‘Imagine, if you will…’ reminds me more of Rod Serling, as he used it all the time, and is perhaps where ER got it from. The guy has good taste!

[@TakaraoftheElves]

"Today I give you the gift of immortality." - Plot twist: the photographer is actually an immortal himself, who takes pictures of others, thereby granting them the 'immortality' of a frozen moment in time, so as to feel less alone while he watches the ages of the world go by.

[@JustAnniemazing]

Or maybe it’s something like in ‘Picture of Dorian Gray’… Our pictures age instead of us!

[@corn1984]

So he basically steals time from our lives

[@ArtificiallyIdiotic]

Plot twist two: he steals the lifespans of ppl counting from the moment the pic is taken, therefore having taken enough ppls pics/lifespans to be considered immortal

[@c0rt3x2k2]

bro I came for great acting and tingles not some consperisacy theroy

[@TirarADeguello]

You are amazing at dialects and mannerisms. We should call you the Chameleon of ASMR.

[@distracted900]

I'm a big fan of Jay, but his Southern dialect is pretty poor, especially for the time period. His accent is rhotic, and at the time the only rhotic Southern dialect in the 19th century was the Appalachian dialect- but his accent definitely has a Lowland Old Southern tone. That combined with a few words sounding very much like General American English makes his accent sound extremely artificial

The effort he goes through for every video, set design, characteristic presenting, accents, costume, scripting etc, is just so underrated. His channel deserves so much more attention

[@fionamorris9634]

I'll let you in on a little secret. All this is adlibed . Apart from his first feature length Knight video most are. Watch carefully, there are no editing cuts.😊 Yep, he's just that good. 🙂

[@asmrenthu7321]

I almost want a whole series of Josiah Trelawney smooth talking selling us some service he provides.

Josiah: The good lord has seen fit to guide me away from foreign objects into my mouth. Me: Oh like tobacco pipes, gotcha Josiah: But those swarthy European men are so very alluring... Me: 👀

I just cannot believe the rate at which you deliver those brilliant videos ! I am now convinced there are in fact many Jims taking turns to keep up with the pace !

nice throwback to RDR2's Josiah Trelawny

[@Dawn-bl8ze]

Your southern accent is amazing. One of my favorite accents!!! This is impeccable

[@SquealingPig1651]

The amount of work you put into these is phenomenal. The fact that you don't have at least 1 million subs is ludicrous when you consider there are ASMRtists that only put in a quarter of the effort and yet somehow have more subs. Always love your videos, and they help me sleep. :)

Not only this is oh so relaxing, but all the kind words and gentle compliments are making wonders on my dysphoria issues. If all photographers were like Josiah i would go take pictures everyday.

[@ladyliberty417]

A lovely idea, the south is full of old photos in every home and museum, And the process was very slow- no one could smile ! Always love a southern accent from Jim, Perfect for ASMR ❣️

[@TitaniteHydra]

Yet another great job, Jim. One thing these more Southern-style Western characters make me think of is your old Phrenology ASMR video, which I still frequent. Going after that subject with a more 19th century atmosphere and theming might be a fun time! Hope you've been doing alright lately.

[@KiaraM]

Photography 📸 has always been my passion (even that of past centuries) and I loved this video so much ❤❤❤ it is very true that through the photos we will live forever 😌 thank you very much for this Jim!!!! 💓💓💓 You are really cute you don't have to worry absolutely about your tummy and the seagulls they will not affect your masterpieces in the slightest!!! 🤗🤗

[@anemota]

I work at dawn... And your videos help me a lot to rest during the day! Thanks for that. Much love from Brazil 💛💚

[@asmrenthu7321]

If only it were this relaxing to have your picture taken now.

[@andrewapgar4676]

God this is such good roleplay he does such a well job of portraying how much of a momentous moment it is to have a picture taken in this time frame

[@yuliastone9704]

As photo film photographer and 19th century aesthetics lover I truly appreciate this video 😌

[@tharealverminsupreme135]

So THIS is what Trelawney did after leaving the gang!

[@winterivy9381]

I enjoy this Josiah Trelawny. He flatters me.

[@wielderofspoons]

This guy has excellent salesmanship! I would definitely go again if I lived in the 19th century I would always need helping to sit still for that amount of time.

[@bandit3242]

How do you not have a million subscribers? Nobody comes close to the content you are putting out there...Crazy good stuff, man! And as a lifelong Southerner, the accent is spot on! LOL

[@spongemanicecone5445]

It actually took about 30 minutes to take a picture back then so this fits perfectly

[@Demigah]

I love this!!! 💜

[@JasperCatProductions]

This was fun! I always wondered why old time photos of folks looked so miserable! Duhhhh they couldn’t hold a smile for 15 minutes. I thought it was the dust, hard work, awfully hot clothes they wore and the lack of indoor plumbing that made them look so grumpy.

[@BramVaschellie]

I could listen to this particular character with this accent prattle on all day. His language is so lush. I love it.

[@taylormcfadden558]

Thus character is so different and unique than your others its impressive that you were able to make so many and they feel real

Last time I asked for Trench, the director of FBOC from the videogame "Control", but I was ignorant of the fact you could pull off an even bigger spectacle.

I feel like this is of a piece with "You're a Tiger", where shit similarly takes forever but it's because the photographer is a picky, pretentious lout instead of the camera needing 15 minutes to take the picture.
