VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Aaawww yeah, boyee, we out here shootin' more of that rare Polaroid Polapan 51HC 4x5 peel apart film. And I got some abandoned buildings for you on 6x17 Kodak Portra, too. Old sun-bleached motel signs, an abandoned bowling alley, and a lone ice shack. These babies were BEGGIN' to be photographed. Deserts + analog film photography = GOOD.

You really are the best thing on KZbin. This is like crack for photographers. I don’t even shoot film, I just love watching you do it. Cheers Nick!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thank you, my man!

[@jasongold6751]

again superb. I wouldn't shoot film. It can be special, medium format esp. But too many if's and but's. I can't do my own color. BW is easy but why ? My digital files easier to see, no fluffing surprises. Polaroid a bad word for me! My country was banned from buying Polaroid! I cheered. Different look to my film. Expensive and wasteful. I taught Polaroid workshops in Canada.! I was never happy with results. SX-70! My old Rolleiflex negatives printed 6x6" were so beautiful. Still my standard. your work Nick is great! Lots for folks to learn. Never fall short in presentation of one's work.Bravo!

[@daconpictures]

While in Gila Bend, you missed a popular, old motel named SPACE AGE MOTEL. It has a flying saucer on top of it.

[@JoshWhite5068]

Well I had lunch plans, but Nick dropped a new video, so…

[@nilx4781]

Watching Nicks video is like watching a mini movie. The story telling is really good

[@prjw73]

I don't know how you do it Nick, but time flies when I watch your videos.

[@SteveKleinheider]

There is nothing quite like a night in Gila Bend! Just kidding! About 8 years ago I spent well over 100 nights at the Space Age Lodge in Gila Bend while overseeing a job on the nearby Barry M. Goldwater Range! Sunsets in Gila Bend rarely disappoint for a good photo opportunity. Nice video...enjoyed as always!

[@johnchedsey1306]

Oh wow, 100 days at the Space Age place? That had to be a bit of an endurance test. I ate at the restaurant a couple summers ago and probably won't try to follow that up 99 more times.

[@SteveKleinheider]

@@johnchedsey1306 The Italian restaurant in Gila Bend is really good...but yeh...I hope to never repeat my extended stay in Gila Bend.

[@RodrigoWBlum]

OMG that ice building photo, man... so nice. Would have it on my wall for sure.

[@ThePhiloctopus]

Nick! You are one of the only creators (and only photographer) I genuinely love to sit down with a hot cup of tea and watch. I'd love the zine+video combo, but the postage to Australia is MORE than the zine itself. Postage comes to $50AUD which is more or less what a photography book would cost here. crying emoji.

[@ducgerard2361]

I m french and i enjoy very much This video. You bring me to true Usa! The photo.of the small shop Is great.. like your famous liquor Shop photo.

[@simek_art]

Although the first day was not successful, the expedition is a success. Give an idea, start a trip, search for a photo. That's a successful mission. THIS IS THE REAL ADVENTURE OF PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you.

[@mm8276352]

Interesting to see a 17 minutes condensed version after watching the whole four hours edition. Provides a good feeling how much editing work this is.

[@stuartbaines2843]

Certainly is ‘No Country for old men’ , Excellent as Ever 👍👍

[@nelsonfoote7641]

I bought and watch the full series. Worth every penny.

[@nomadben]

The exposure on that icehouse pic was just absolutely bang-on. Good stuff my man.

[@lawrencedgriffin]

Hey Nick. Thanks for what you do. Out here in photography land and am short on inspiration, it helps to see you just continue to push through the crap and do what you were made to do. All the best to you and keep on keepin on!

[@jefflanghornephoto]

The balance in that ICE building shot was perfection.

[@seantomlinson3320]

Purchased the extended play and Zine. This is neat. But damned buddy, you are so hard on yourself! That was worth it. What a neat trip. The last episode is really good too. I'm glad I bought it.

[@geoffmphotography9444]

Great as usual. That icehouse is a masterpiece.

[@charlesk323]

I totally agree and the Ice house print is on my Christmas list. Or the Arca Swiss Cube Nick uses---heck, both!

[@luxseven1]

Thanks for sharing, fantastic shot of that ice-machine. Makes up for 2*Motel beds ...

[@zeballos5757]

Loved this two part series. Lot of work goes into this. You are a very patient photographer. Love the ice machine image, but as I could see the sun setting and that other person showed up for ice, I was like “hurry up” take the shot! Lol

[@nafs53]

Haha, same here. I moved the mouse to see the final image and .. started breathing again..😬😆

[@zeballos5757]

@@nafs53 😄

[@johnchedsey1306]

I have lost count of how many similar 2 star motels I've stayed at between working for a touring band and then my own photo road trip adventures. Oddly, I stayed at what ostensibly should be a dump near Bryce Canyon a few nights ago and had a really good sleep. Then at a much nicer place, tossed and turned. Go figure. I'm never going to look at that ice/water place the same again next time I pass through Gila Bend.

[@jefffenske1958]

Nick, I'm very glad I signed up for the extended version! You're a great example of being resourceful and accomplishing tasks. Great to see how you do it! Not to mention your creativity. I liked your first 6x17 pano shot, by the way, the Mexico insurance building flanked by the tall saguaro and the tall "hey, we're here!" flags. The red building and all is over-the-top compared to your normal style, but it's a cool shot! I was also glad to help pay for how much I've learned from your online videos. Though, I don't shoot film, it's still all been interesting and inspiring. Perhaps you should tell people how much work and how many hours went into making this video. Only those who watch the four hours to the end will know. I hope you are able to market this somehow to recoup all you put into it, and so you can keep on doing these. It's great to be a part of your unique adventure! God bless!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Lovely Chrono

[@AlejandroGonzalez-AGS]

Nice series Nick…always something new! BTW I have the same Yeti 500 you had in the room…nice compact and powerful little unit. Keep them coming Partner…be safe! Cheers..

[@extremelydave]

Well, you sure did pick the garden spot of the universe to get those cool images! Good thing you weren't there in August as it would melt your camera, much less the film..... Another awesome outdoor video. Keep 'em coming Nick....

[@QCshooter758]

Great shots! I know it's quite the drive but you should make your way out towards the east side of Phoenix (Suprrstition wilderness through Superior or Globe) lots of pretty desert and superior/Miami/globe is FULLLLL of old mining town buildings

[@jackthompson8377]

You are better than most of the actors in Hollywood. Love the hat.

[@GirdHerd]

Nick, I'm glad you did the third shot of the Copper Sands Motel & Phone Booth. I really like it.

[@bobsykes]

I enjoyed the original trailer so much I purchased the four-hour version, although so far I've only watched the "behind the glass" edition at the end of that! :) Looking forward to enjoyig the whole thing. The Ice Shop photo here is awesome!

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

Love that ice station shot - timeless, that's the point though isn't it 😊, also the motel sign quite a difference between the 2nd and 3rd shot but it 😊works

[@Chrisb8s]

I just drove through Gila Bend today and saw that box. How cool. What an amazing eye

[@charlesk323]

I see from earlier comments that smart people have signed up for the full version-me too-earlier adopter. Yet, it's great to get another quick dose of the same wisdom from the trail. The polaroid of the sign is a great example where sometimes an excellent subject is right outside your door.

[@domtorque]

I enjoy seeing you camp and prepare food. Adds more variety

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Love the ice house shot! My daughter lives on the eastern edge of Tucson and that section of Saguaro National Park is terrific for photography!

[@Foxglove963]

Reading Stephen King horror stuff before crashing out might be detrimental to your mind the following morning when making important decisions. Good luck, nice pics.

[@richardraesr3482]

Simply beautiful work

[@NicholasNoeckerJr]

It's been a while since I visited, but you're up to standards, thank God. The story of the lonesome photo-artist is still captivating. That said, I can't help wondering, you being an architecture photographer professional, if you didn't miss an opportunity for a 6x17 of the Copper Sands Motel (in the right light of course). Maybe not, but there was a couple brief flashes of the building that looked intriguing. Love the show... keep going, don't stop,

[@TonyReidsma]

Just listened to that book… good stuff.

[@Invictus13666]

I really like the first overexposed shot.

[@67davejb]

I love watching your videos. The calmness and peace of the landscapes you photograph and your style of work I enjoy so much. Like Ben Horne, there is something special about your videos, thank you

[@qtwhat]

the last one is just beautiful!!! love it! love the beer too.

[@dandog77]

Great stuff, as always, Nick. That ice stand composition at the end is one of my favorites of yours.

[@owenwilliams9582]

lovely shot of the ice factory ... but no Kettle at the motel... skin flints . Keep the vids coming they are really enjoyable.. Cheers from Wales

[@Milos_Hornik]

Great quality of everything within your videos. God, so refreshing to see such an effort put in each composition in your videos in KZbin. I was wondering what kind of microphone gear you are using for recording? Thanks! And wish you the best.

[@arieldevillers4244]

Great video and nice pictures!

[@chromagraphphotoart]

Fabulous pics

[@shaunmoran6511]

Two star hotel Nick really, as stellar as that , what an artist puts up with for his art , love your videos nick keep em coming 😊

[@normansteinmetz643]

Saw the trailer, forgot to order the 4hrs extended hot talk about metering… take my money, I‘m in! Love your work and as a 6x17 owner I want to understand how to Meter by listening to your 4hrs episode 1

[@svenburg]

As always, I'm amazed by the patience you have to find the right shot.

[@dpulte]

great stuff nick!

[@robbie154]

Nick, I am back on part 2 for details on the hat.

[@AndersKeisHansen]

Fantastic 2 episodes ;) thank you all the way from Denmark !

[@IM-Silviu]

Yes! 😊

[@Ericbjohnston5150]

Need more photos like the laudramat photo.

[@am_photo2rue]

Great Video Thank you

[@pive]

Hey Nick, now that you got that geared head, would you like to share it with us in more detail? Model, functions, why that model etc, it would be interesting.

[@paullichte]

Love the mood of your videos a lot. Fits together very well

[@therealnotanerd_account2]

I don't know why but I liked the first overexposed picture.

[@vinnnyn32]

Oye! What tripod legs and head you runnin, love the height you’re able to get and noticed you’re always in pretty windy conditions

[@25kpoole]

Beautiful work

[@WayneThePoet]

Great video Nick. Love the ice/water hut. Perfect!

[@who2u333]

Another great one

[@monty125874693]

This man is like, insanely attractive

[@bitfilm]

0:45 the way those hooks arent in the shower curtain GRRRAAAHHH

[@AlysVintageCameraAlley]

I’ll def be buying the rest of the episodes. BTW Nick, 11/22/63 is one of my favorite books. How’d you like it?

[@jw48335]

I wanna put you on some diazapam for one of these field days, lol. Great stuff - you don't give yourself enough credit - great videography and photography, both!

[@senior_ranger]

Love it!! And where did you get that Ansel Adams hat??? I've been lookin for that exact hat for years.

[@JeffSmudde]

I've always wondered...why do you prefer a shorter cable release? I'm partial to a longer one, mine being a 20" braided release.

[@trevorsneath4665]

I'm thinking that the film being old may need more than the development recommended time and that the 1st or 2nd exposure would work with that. ??

[@garygiles63]

thanks for the videos :)

[@GregoryDai]

love the video as always

[@TonyReidsma]

Nick. Is that a modified bull barrel 10/22? Looks great!

[@brianbeattyphotography]

the first photo was kind of cool, could be a bit of an abstract print.

[@billbaker9623]

Great series. Loved the ice house. Did you consider shooting the Space Age Inn while you were in GB?

[@Петроченков-в6о]

Hey! What is sir Carver doing with those developed large formate films, I mean does He covering 'em with something to protect or whatever? 6:24

[@IainHC1]

Love the Ice hut photo. How much just for the print?

[@andyvan5692]

good video, but in the hotel with glasses you look like Drew from phase One !!, and what you call this camera "texas Leica", what is it really, as there doesn't look like any oil on it to me.

[@adammichna8440]

Hey man, I was wondering where you bought that hat?

[@GregoryDai]

i have a question, at the last secen where you are pulling up to your drive way, there's a cut, is that specificly to avoid the video tripod showing up on the car's paint's reflection? another one is at 11:15 in the video you were sitting beside the car and the driver side door was open, is it open because you want to avoide the video camera being in frame? :)

[@filmdesigner800]

Ok I gotta ask, the guitar music....who is it and where can I get it?

[@kevincoffey]

Icehouse👌🏻

1:57 little curious about reasons not to use microwave 🤔

Probably just the process. How he did it is more enjoyable than pressing a button.

You mean there really ARE places with names like Gila Bend?

[@boulx]

wow that pano

Don't know why you don't have views in the 7 figures with your type if work.

tip for sleeping in the wind in a tent or car... earplugs.
