[@Milleniador]

Paulie B is the master of allowing the photographers' monologue.

[@Liazon098]

Unless we as photographers just monologue. Like for real. Who here monologues even to themselves?

[@writershootsfilm]

This is what folks tried with podcasts for years & it never popped. People want to see the photographer, how they work & their photos. Great work!

[@OceansVideo]

I love when shy introverts get all chatty when they’re around their tribe. It’s deep and meaningful.

[@usuallyroamingrob3427]

This is the best photography channel, all these other channels try and sell you gear.

[@MrIncrediible1]

and it's not even close

[@justokcod8603]

It really is. Theres some joke here about leicas tho for sure..

[@GimmeSomeAdventure]

This is top 3 but grainydays is the goat.

[@JuanHurrea]

Paulie B for sure---but *BIG UPS* and RIP to the Negative Feedback channel. George Muncey is creatively gifted, the videos are never boring and so well composed, it's incredible. I miss that channel. Never sells you shit (minus squarespace), if anything, George encourages photographers to travel and start projects vs buy new gear. These two channels are best; everyone else are bricks.

comment of the year

[@chrisathanasiadisphoto]

Great episode. Sara has some amazing photos and probably going to be one the those photographers that lives forever through her work.

[@vivianbb]

I felt my heart open during this video. Thank you Sara for being so vulnerable and loving during this

[@BEEFSTEWWW]

So sick! Been a fan of Sara’s work for years. Glad to see her get a Walkie-talkie.

[@Winamp88]

Her innocence is her super power. Thanks Sara and Paulie!

[@crisd117]

I love that she didn't take a photo the entire time. She just spoke from the heart.

[@RandAlThorR]

What a sweetheart. Love her personality and her voice. Could listen to her talk all day. This was fun. 👍

[@garybrowne2409]

She's fantastic. Whatever skills or talent or mindset you need to be a great photographer, she's got.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Oh man I love her! What an exciting drop!

[@hannahcassidyphotos]

One of the best walkie talkie's yet. Big fan of her work, so glad you featured her!

[@leonst3253]

Watching someone talk about their path of self reflection and that they finaly feel like themselve through this wonderfull process of walking trough streets and thoughts and taking pictures of what meets the eye and heart is so so beautiful

[@faded_memory]

Sara's perspective and work, especially of the teens she met in the park, is SO beautiful. I'm not typically a street photographer but this video single handedly made me go out and take street photos yesterday and it was maybe the most fun I've ever had taking photos. I might be hooked.

[@panmpap4679]

It’s very inspiring as a 23 year old street photographer who’s been doing for around 2 years to hear the same kind of insecurities from such a great photographer like Sara! Keep up the great work Paulie!

[@juanmayorga4702]

The best thing about this format of videos is getting to know people with cameras like Sara; real people that you can relate to for their human being and perspective of the world by photography. Love his passion and process of being and introvert but wanting to be out there capturing life. GREAT EPISODE!!

[@JdTV79]

These kids are lucky to have Sara. In 20/30 years they will look back and see clear and bright images to remind them of their past. Maybe breakups and painful moments will be arisen by looking at them, but they will feel something special that nobody else could catch.

[@ArchiesLens]

“Photography is the exchanging of hearts” I love that ✨

[@FlanTravolta]

She's a breath of fresh air. I love her.

[@SteveKleinheider]

Wow...Sara's photography is awesome! This has to be one of your top "Walkie Talkies" Paulie...good work!

[@jjmcgechan4202]

Sara shoots one of the best forms of photography

[@jordhon]

One of the best. Loved this ep and Sara’s work so much. Super genuine

[@TimFurman123]

There really is no place like New York. You’re all so lucky to live there. Great video. Another fascinating photographer.

[@Nedumgottil]

Paulie, these walkie talkies are my favorite series on youtube. These are the most wholesome conversations I've been able to hear. What Sara talks about at 10:53 really resonates with me and probably a lot of us.

[@BagelsAndWalks]

What an inspiring and kind and genuine story. I so love this series. Keep going!

[@hannesh.1288]

Probably my favorite episode so far, I really love Sara‘s work. Thank you so much for this Paulie!

[@wickedmallard]

Love these walkie talkies! These photographers come across like poets. I was very into photography in high school and lost track. But I've recently begun to get back into it, and I'm finding this series to be very inspirational. Thank you!

[@sleepyricky4826]

20:42 "I feel like when you're making your best images, it's when your subconscious takes over. Your brain shuts off and your heart takes over. And that's when you're making images that feel like a reflection of yourself, and that's what it's all about." I strongly connect with this!

[@willmccleland2383]

Been waiting for this one for so long, Sara is truly an amazing photographer her work is just incredible.

[@takiTCG]

This is the first video from you I’ve seen in my recommended. I moved away from NY a few years ago, and hearing Sara talk about the city-and photographing the city-like this made me feel so warm. Thanks very much to you both.

[@tim_butcher]

Another awesome ep, Paulie. Sara, your embrace of vulnerability is inspiring. It just goes to show that being a good human being interested in others gets the work.

[@TheUrbandilema]

Paulie sir this one is awesome I love your style especially on the documentary side..love her images she has lots of talent...keep up the good work

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Nice to meet Sara, interesting and funny girl. Great artist. Thanks so much for sharing Pauli.😊 Keep up the good work 🎉

[@winslow_j]

I love this episode. As a fellow shy person/photographer working on getting bolder, this resonates a lot 🙏 so inspiring!!

[@jonathanmauldin8801]

Probably my favorite one of these I’ve seen so far. One of my favorite photographers for sure.

[@todd92371]

"A responsibility involved". So well said. I see a lot of folks cramming a camera in peoples space and privacy. There is a difference between taking versus sharing.

[@Space_Cowboy98]

This video series is one of the best on YT. So much sincerity in this work!

[@johnalcantara6892]

So good! Fan of Sara work for awhile now!

[@nansenscat9315]

Awesome. Love Sara's images and her heart.

[@annakell5245]

Love these videos, but this has been the most Inspirational one so far. What an amazing young woman Sara is.

[@OBFLife]

Awesome. Just started. I'm so hyped for this. I'm gonna be in NY in June. Hope to run into some of these incredible faces.

[@nahzein]

its been a few days im watching your show and im obsessed, I love your show paulie, thank you for these interveiws and glancing into their style and views

[@lukemerrill1272]

Thanks Paul and thanks Sara! Just great stuff!

[@srosevandyke]

I appreciate how often you post and put up great content. Best film photography channel, hands down.

[@OMGitsmercer]

I usually watch your videos on my TV so I can't comment. I logged onto my PC today just to day, this video series is amazing and I love it. Great work!!

[@xjoexedge]

i have been waiting for this one ! Have been a huge fan of Sara's work and it's really awesome to hear her talk about it.

[@perrylane]

This was one of the most enjoyable interviews and good job keeping the format of walkie talkie similar for everybody it helps as a viewer. Sara seems like a lovely human and this humanity glows from her work , its hard to believe she only started before Covid but its her personality that shines through most of all and what she sees.

[@abchappell01]

I think she is wonderful! Thank you for showing her talent on your channel 😊

[@nilsheck9245]

Thanks Sara and Paulie for doing this. This was an episode I was always hoping for. It's such a great conversation. Sara is one of the best. Thanks for sharing this!

[@PhilKnall]

This was so much fun to watch, thanks for making it. Sara is such a legend.

[@jonathanhendricks4780]

It's so cute that they definitely chatted for a bit after he said catch you later. Really love this one.

[@jeannesutton2706]

Thank you Sara! I loved learning about your perspective and journey. I'm not into the characteristic male street photographer vibe that is "gotcha" photography. It's beautiful to hear your more connected, heartfelt process, I'm inspired :)

[@gabrielamailet]

Really connected with this episode. Just inspiring. Thank you!

[@maxsolis7910]

17:45 the middlefinder 😂😂 Great video!!!

[@sommelierofstench]

i do the same thing if i’m caught in a strangers selfie 😂

[@Orange94755]

Great talk and I love Sara’s work. But I wish there was some kind of discussion about balancing life/finances as a street photographer. Like you touched on assignments, but does she make a living from editorial day rates? Does she have another job to pay the bills? How’s she able to afford living in NYC as a street photographer? How’s she able to walk around the city for most of the day and pay for film/development while shooting with a $3K camera? How’s she’s able to afford 2 month trips to Mexico to make personal work? I know this sounds like I’m hating or something but I’m really just curious about the practicalities of working as a photographer, especially if you’re not doing a bunch of commercial work

[@CheckeredFlagPodcast]

a lot of it is grants, a lot of the times, debt.

[@eyeamstrongest]

if i had to take a guess, rich parents

[@eskotz88]

big facts

[@thegreatvanziniphotos5976]

WoW! That was great! Such +++++ energy.

[@anitzsche1]

Refreshing vid, refreshing channel…. Keep up the great work, both of you!

[@TheFribos]

Great video (again) and i think Sara is very inspiring. Love her work! Thanks Paulie!!

[@ejbernal2]

There was a time 25 years ago where St. Mark's Place would have been a street photographer's dream. It just goes to show how downhill it went when you and Sara just walked passed it without taking a single shot.

[@chucklupardo]

Inspired and great work, Sara! Always look forward to new episodes. My favorite channel! 📷

[@techietypex]

I always learn things from these videos that I cannot find in any book.

[@gisele6961]

Liked this episode a lot. Had not been familiar with Sara's work, and glad to see you featuring more women.

[@bvstreet6688]

Fantastic episode, as usual! 👏

[@mekhigreene]

I grew up in South Jersey 15 minutes outside of Philadelphia so I completely understand her pain. Philly is an underrated city to photograph though.

[@NirSharon]

wow, Sara is so talented, smart and brave!

[@epcalderhead]

Wonderful work. She photographs from the heart.

[@sunkilmoonfan]

As a sara messinger appreciater i very much appreciate this episode.

[@6wop]

love Sara ❤ beautiful conversation!!

[@MrDastardly]

A really great presentation. 👏👏👏👏

[@StreetsWideOpen]

Another great video, keep ‘em coming 👌🏻📷

[@babettesfeast6347]

She has such an interesting and refreshing approach

[@djduffy1000]

Great work Sara.

[@archerpiperii2690]

For such a young person, she is wise beyond her years. Phoenix, AZ

[@video56567]

Again, very good work 👌

[@stevensvideosonyoutube]

Thanks I totally enjoyed watching.

[@christianabello1171]

This is a great episode! Honestly never related to someone so much

[@VOByRobbins]

The women photogs you've had on have been so inspiring, they are more passionate for the craft, Love this --- She's amazing too--- Great work Paulie!!!!!

[@kerouacf0069]

Another Gem, love your content, cheers.

[@Arlo360-Official]

Street Photography is like a window into like another world, Like capturing moments like fleeting whispers Like frozen in time. It's like a painter's brush, Like weaving colors and emotions onto like the canvas of like reality. Like through the like lens, we see life unfold like chapters in a never-ending like story, each like frame a new like adventure waiting to be like discovered.

[@TomKaszuba]

Brilliant documentary.

[@youngle9381]

Been really looking forward to this one!!!!

[@Mike_Wazowski_z]

3:56 what she says here resonated so hard with me.

[@arricammarques1955]

Walking & talking with people + snapping with a camera = Priceless.

[@wanderlustdetailer]

Not in this episode lol, no snappy

[@xTwistedFleshX]

Best hair on the channel!

[@RetireAt80]

Love that first photo you showed of hers

[@thevestalvirginspeaks3847]

Love that you're showing off the ladies more!

[@georgemohring5348]

Love her, thanks Paulie

[@christophertan3707]

Love this channel!! ❤

[@zachlozano7432]

Been hoping for this one!

[@JulianMateoMejiaHægeland]

such a cool project wow

[@TommyGrisselFilms]

one of my favs!!

[@norbertsteinkamp9380]

Very honest and inspiring talk; thanks very much for this! Interesting camera btw: an M4 without a self timer?

[@Fjalll]

Probably an MD chassi and/or early M4-2. Should be very late serial number indicating late production and a notch on the left side of the shutter opening inside the camera, designed for the data strip. Rare if so.

[@stevelawson2841]

I would like to pre-order the teen project photobook. Beautiful work.

[@Jparkss]

One thing I would say about being from NY, when you in NYC try to go to other boroughs and not just manhattan. I went to school in queens at St. John’s and it was so refreshing to go out to the manhattan, BK, BX then just come back to queens because of the suburban/city like vibe.

[@marinaamonaco]

SARA

[@ico.oliveira]

Also loved this one!

[@betrue-845]

Very interesting conversation! It makes me wonder about the power of intimation. Can our body language communicate our reason or purpose.

[@JORDYVISION1904]

Perfect timing something to watch with my silog breakfast! Haha
