one must imagine the street photographer happy

[@sbrazenor2]

I look at the world like this: We will all die, we will all be returned to dust, and all forgotten in time. But, in a singular moment we can capture something that brings us joy. Even if we never share it, as long as we feel it, it was enough.

Great content! I no longer care about taking great photos all the time. Now, I just treat street photography as a form of cardio exercise. 😂

[@matthewrygh]

I’m with you on that- gotta keep the calves in shape 😂

[@ROLLERh2]

This is definitely the content that I've been hoping to see for a while. Thanks for the inspiration, keep it up!

[@johnwaine56]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have articulated my own thoughts on street photography and life so much better than I ever could. I just wish I’d come to know this perfectly valid absurdness many many years ago. I’d have been happier, would have taken many more photos and encountered many more interesting people. I will rewatch this video often and look forward to seeing more of your thoughtful and challenging work. Thank you again.

[@matthewrygh]

Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoyed. Looking forward to making more!

This made me realize that I've been misquoting Camus this whole time. "One must imagine Sisyphus *happy*", not "with a smile" ahhahaha

[@matthewrygh]

One must imagine Sisyphus with a twisted tea and an Oklahoma smoke

[@atl6s]

this video gave me a better outlook on photography and made me feel a lot better about wasting my SD card's write cycles. super underrated creator, you're awesome

[@matthewrygh]

I’m happy to hear that! and thank you so much, that truly means a lot. Lots of fun stuff coming.

[@MikeChudley]

this was great, thanks!

[@matthewrygh]

Thanks for watching!

[@Iknowbetterthanyou]

No idea how I got here but I though you just have 100K views on this video. It is philosophically enriched street photography talk with some nice auto biographical insights, that's what Vlogging should be like. Keep up the great work man!

[@matthewrygh]

Such a huge compliment, thank you! Doing my best to make something real on here and not regurgitate other videos people have already seen

[@marcosdamata8325]

Great, man. I love Camus, love street photography, loved your video. Keep it up.

[@matthewrygh]

Will do my best- thank you so much!

[@RostykMakushak]

❤ Looks like I’m not the only weirdo doing street photography on GFX50R paired with GF50/3.5… and I like Greek philosophy as well! And I even made a documentary called Sisyphean Toil 😀 Enjoyed your 👍 video! Looking forward to new ones

[@herlingo8902]

thank you that was good!

[@matthewrygh]

Glad you liked it!

[@georgescanvas]

Congrats on a well thought out video ! . . . I propose that we street photographers are almost as absurd as those mundane events which we set out to observe on the street with our camera . .

[@matthewrygh]

Absolutely! Great point

[@JasonLawrenceNoel]

Sharing what you love and what you find Valuable, I appreciate you… you ever do any group photo walks? Subbed

[@matthewrygh]

Not terribly often- with everything in life rn I find it difficult to go on solo walks sometimes, so I usually opt for those!

[@JasonLawrenceNoel]

@@matthewrygh anything I could help with?

[@steveshadowphoto9346]

Great video; I ordered the book too!

"Great works are often born on a streetcorner....."

[@ChrisBrogan]

A little Camus with my shooting. If you saw my shots, you'd think I was more into Saramago (Blindness). But love this. Nicely assembled!

[@matthewrygh]

Thank you Chris!

[@freaker126]

an interesting point of view indeed!

[@teagueshoup]

Please make this a series. I would like to see Hegelian Idealism and Art comparisons 🫡🫡

[@matthewrygh]

Okay Mr Homework 🫡

"you're expected to take cool photos, but what actually gets you going is a stick" never felt more seen in my life, slammed that instagram follow button immediately

[@matthewrygh]

welcome my friend, appreciate you sticking around.

[@picsbynate]

are you zone focusing?

[@matthewrygh]

Not in this video- was using the GFXs autofocus. But when I shoot normal rangefinder I do
