Great video and many thanks 😊, but all credit goes to you Mali Davies for inspiring us all, and the many years ago the Mali Davies Photography meets ups. Meeting so many like minded people, and Jay Gilmour , It was his brain child and the craft he puts into his editing. Still love to learn and watch how it's done. That's day was such a pleasure to watch two passionate creatives one of photography and one of film, and to be a small part of it I'm very grateful to you both ❤️

The piece you do about time at 21:12 really hit home for me, I’m constantly not starting things or not finishing things because I’m waiting for that perfect time to do them. I have 3 young kids and an amazing wife who also works so we share everything but she’s continually telling me I’m not being efficient with my time. I do waste time when I’m waiting for the perfect moment to do things like my own photography projects or doing work for clients and I need to stop doing that and like you say you can do a lot more if you cut out the waste and change your attitude about time. Thank you Mali for yet another fantastic watch that really gets me thinking! I love watching your content as it really hits home for me.

I found this video rather moving. Your photographic (and life) journey and attitude to both have profoundly influenced me. I have been an amateur photographer for over 50 years but considered most of my images of little artistic value or worth. After spending time with you I have a new mental approach and have started to make images that please me and stop worrying about what others think about them and I am increasingly pleased with the images I make and I think I am even (dare I say) developing my own style. So you are a great communicator and I thank you for communicating your enthusiasm to me.

I think I watched one of your videos where you had some silliness about you, and I wasn't feeling that at the time, so I moved on, as you do. But then you kept cropping up with Adam (first man photography). I think you eventually wormed your way into my psyche. I never felt your ego though. That's important, because it's an instant turn-off if you're full of yourself. I like the humanity of your videos. And the film is wonderful.

One of the best postings from you Mali, how true. I go out and shoot for the pleasure it gives me and if I don't get any images, what does it matter, you are out in nature, otherwise I would just be at home by myself. Out and about it's amazing the little interactions you have with people, either just a nod as you walk past or a talk as they are interested in what you are doing. Its a saying that get banded about a lot but heck its good for my mental health in my senior years. Keep up the excellent work, one day I might even book a 1to1 with you and see if I can steel a bucket of your enthusiasm 👍
