Great video, great shots. And I also enjoyed jazz music at the background.

Happy to hear ☺️ thank you!

Okay, I rarely go out at night and shoot BUT I never thought to shoot in B&W! I need to do this myself! You got some excellent results!

[@jamesford_jp]

Thanks! B&W can be a great way to mask noise as well. It looks almost like a film grain, and I don’t mind it at all :)

Thank you!

Love 4:47 and all the ensuing in and around those underpasses beneath the train tracks. The last time I was there it was around 11 in the morning and extremely wet, so very different vibes and a lot fewer people!

[@jamesford_jp]

Thanks! And yeah, it’s a cool spot at different times of day. I think it’s better at night since that’s when those shops see the most customers coming and going, but it’s a cool spot at any point in the day :)

I like that you often experiment a bit when presenting your photographic work. My affinity for black and white is fulfilled in this video. In my opinion, the black and white film settings and photos give this night video an additional special atmosphere. It seems to me that you are progressing very quickly on this walk. Was it windy and cold? ;-) Jazz background music is well chosen. 3:13 Great photo with the mirror. I also like 5:26 with the people behind the curtain. And 6:52 the young woman's radiant smile! From around 8:56 the bassist’s long “solo” as background music - very nice! My head and feet immediately started bobbing ;-). And 'Hey' - 8:04 - the photo artist himself ;-). 9:12 the part with the man in the phone booth is a nice sequence. Thank you for showing your work. I wish you all the best.

[@jamesford_jp]

Haha yeah, it was actually cold and windy that night 😂 and I'm you liked the music! It can be difficult sometimes to match the music with the vibe of the location and photos, so glad it worked out here 🙃

@@jamesford_jp I would like to take this opportunity to send you my best wishes for the New Year. In your country it starts several hours earlier than here in Europe. Stay healthy and well so that you can continue to enjoy your creative work. Kind regards - Monika

[@jamesford_jp]

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

@@jamesford_jp Thanks a lot.

[@MaxPowers-mw9ej]

just my 2 cents.. i found it really hard to concentrate on the photos with the white flickering background around them.

[@jamesford_jp]

I appreciate the feedback.
