[@mattdayphoto]

Grant is the MAN! Absolute legend.

[@bigheadtaco]

hey Matt, he totally is. You would have met him if you came!! Maybe at the next event :-)

[@MarcS4R]

this guy is a legend. thanks for that. could have listened to him talk for hours

[@bigheadtaco]

I want to hang out with him in his garage!!

[@ryanbailey112]

Love it. YES! Grant is the man. Love ALL the pics he has! Thanks BHT

[@sebkim74]

I came across your videos and been watching since 3am... then came across this one. Grant Brittain was my idol when I was a kid. So great to see this! Thank you!

[@andynfb1]

Great to not only see an interviewer who was knowledgeable enough to keep up with his subject but also have great chemistry. Grant is a legend and you didn't even skip a beat. So great.

[@bigheadtaco]

Thanks for watching. Oh ya Grant is just one of the guys and is still a camera nerd.

[@CamMead]

Oh man what a legend, someone that has given so much to photography and skateboarding it’s just incredible to see. I would spend hours looking at those skate magazines just for the photos.

[@rossanamadamba5688]

Great interview, great video. Thanks Take 👍🏻👍🏻

[@francisbombus3949]

Thx for that. Such a great person!

[@FlorianCueni]

Howly shit man, Grant Brittain is the BIG one! Thank you so much for that episode!

[@4Kandlez]

Brilliant photos and a super cool guy.

[@mlcovarr]

Thank you for getting this interview and making this video.

[@AndrewGoodCamera]

Thanks for doing this interview. Loved every second.

[@mikaelpuhakka1961]

Fantastic interview, fantastic showcase of pics, digging the B&W style a lot. It works wonders for a "casual chat in the parking lot" type of thing

[@bigheadtaco]

thanks. Yes I thought it was appropriate considering so many kids skateboard in parking lots :-)

[@pierrebouchard4289]

Great video ... Very interesting ... Thank you !!!

[@Mazagrandeman]

Great interview!

[@juanguerrero9110]

Wish more thought was put into this interview. Grant is the man!

[@bigheadtaco]

the decision to do the interview wasn't planned but spontaneous, so it's either this or no interview at all...

[@MestreMur]

Great episode Tako...

[@VanRohalen]

Wow! Very good interview! This gentlemen is amazing, he can transfer hours of sweet in to pristine moments!

[@PaulVanCaesbroeck]

Thanks Take for this TOP interview. Amazing to see how a great photographer as Grant is still so modest. What a cool person! I like the fact that he still shoots film for his personal work. Very inspiring.

[@bigheadtaco]

Yes we invited him as a guest but he was actually eager to share his photography and passion for film. We were honoured he did, and also agreed to do this interview in a parking lot!!

[@Loopsrainforest]

Amazing! So many memories of those photographs.

[@elangeldelamusica]

Amazing video. Thanks Take!

[@guillermolastra]

Excellent!!!! Thanks Taco!

[@ginakitsuse228]

I loved listening to this! I wish it was longer :)

[@RobertPHorwitz]

Nice interview - cool perspective.

[@RunninginCircles2020]

Great video! Learned something new and interesting; the images are beautiful!

[@fingerluck]

More of skateboard photographers! This is so nice!! How about Ed Templeton? His wife? Ray Barbee? Aarto Saari? Atiba? Many... can't wait

[@joechill1]

Legend. Love this guys photography, both now and when I was reading Transworld off the newsstand. Would love to hear him talk about cameras and lenses he used back then.

[@bigheadtaco]

he's a great guy as well. Next video we'll talk gear :-)

[@joechill1]

bigheadtaco I’m curious about his which film bodies he chose. And about his wide angle lenses... he used what looks like an 18mm or 20mm at times.

[@gesarkanch]

So interesting. Great work!

[@richardrivera2233]

Great interview! Very level-headed and grounded photographer. His work reminds me of another great skateboard photographer Fred Mortagne in France, who has a new book, “Attraper au Vol” and also works in B&W.

[@bigheadtaco]

Beautiful work, and I love that he shoots with film. Thanks for sharing

[@IainHC1]

You've done it again!! Awesome vid :-)

[@qnetx]

Awesome interview. His work is iconic. It was interesting that his favorite image was also the same one I picked after seeing the selection of images in the intro.

[@bigheadtaco]

that's a great shot for sure!

[@PauloFurtadoi]

Ah, this will make my day... 😊 Thank you, Take! 👍

[@joseuribe1552]

amazing photos

[@bigheadtaco]

yes Grant not only takes great images, many of them are of cultural and historical significance.

[@skaterat321]

Awesome!!

[@erichartke4331]

wow what an inspiration!

[@SpeedRick]

amazing!

[@davidmcc6666]

Brilliant.

[@JP1050x]

Great video! I miss your early vids though, that had the fun animations. Btw, Tri-X was actually available in the 1940's as sheet film... later released in 35mm & 120 roll film in 1954 (as you mentioned).

[@bigheadtaco]

I'll do more of the silly stuff when I'm with someone I'm more acquainted with...

[@KeithCanisius]

He should do a skate photo book.

[@HelmutBerta]

Grant made me suscribe !

[@bigheadtaco]

thanks for watching. I'll have to buy Grant a beer!

[@juxtaposeism]

thank you Take for sharing all these (for me/us) legend sof the past and present. btw are there some female photographers you can present too? just to balance things... ;-)

[@bigheadtaco]

thanks for commenting and yes, it's harder to find female photographers, but I know they're out there. I did feature food photographer Leila Kwok last year, and I have more female photographers lined up. If anyone has suggestions, please comment below. Thanks.

[@ryanthomas9306]

Not being mean but as an outside critique id wait for a second or two before responding to an interviewer. Sometimes you say yay yay yay over them and it comes off rude. I know you arenr trying to do it but just wanted to provide that insight

[@malbeats3600]

first thing that came to my mind too, it's a bit annoying

[@treyvillarreal8613]

I agree. Very difficult to watch. Made the interview very unenjoyable!

[@nobubadtuning7336]

写真がかっこいい

[@photomaster1]

Ok, I had to stop and say Oh my god this is film not digital images way too damn kool does it matter what camera your using ,lighting or just knowing what should happen and just wait for that moment... If you're going to shoot know your subject or subject matter and if you don't know learn... Oh and know your gear.. Wonderful images I'm a medium shooter out of 10 shots I get 2 sometimes 3 that are spot on... lol

[@edwassermann8368]

good job taco!

[@ArmTheCreative]

I thought this was a Benny Hill interview. =-(
