This one was exhausting to get through. He's like that one friend who gets all philosophical when they get high, except this guy's sober.

This series has made me grow so much it’s insane, taking the bits and pieces from everyone’s workflow and further refining your own with it. Thank you Paulie

Truly one of my favorites in the series. So inspiring to see such dedication and thought-provoking passion for photography.

This is my favourite series, I watch all of them, great work

love how you talked to him in his home, him showing you all his books was so dorky and endearing

Uncle Matt says YES 😉

Sat down to watch maybe the first 20 minutes of this video this morning with my coffee, but got sucked in and pushed my plans back to watch the whole thing. Incredible thought provoking conversation for someone like me still in the early days of figuring out what I want my photography to be and leaning more and more into family documentation like Adali. Thanks for putting this out

This dude uses so many words to describe simple things, which usually puts me off, but the fact that you can feel his emotions when he speaks about the things he loves with so much enthusiasm and joyfulness, its hard not to be enchanted by the subject matter he touches on. I'm sold!

Here for the Chris Verene love. 👏 That book is a favorite of mine.

The more is goes on, the more this series of talk & walk is pure gem 💎

man, this reminds me of what it was like to be young. Use your time, just do as much as you can, as long as you can!

Wow he can talk !!! some good, some bad but his Ohio photos were superb so enough said . Would be interesting to go back to him in ten years and see how he's matured .

Let’s goooo. I’m gonna watch this at work

He has soooo much energy, wow --- couldn't stop watching this video, I understand his feeling of wonder at the photo opportunities! I get that whenever I go somewhere on vacation or somewhere I haven't been--- really genuine guy and his drive is unreal! He must spend a fortune on film and developing--- really enjoyed the visit with him at his home! great work Paulie!!!! he's one to watch and follow for sure!!!!!

Is this the first walkie where we didn’t see any of the photographs from the walk?

I love it when people can see beauty where I just see something ordinary. That's the genius part. When I look at their photo and think: "Why didn't I see that? It was right in front of me."

Love all of the conversation in this one. So good.

i’ve loved this guys work for a while, so glad he’s featured

These younger, charismatic and borderline insane photographers like Adali, Trevor Wisecup, etc. make me so hopefully for the future of photography.

Came across Adali’s work a couple months ago and became such a big fan. This came at the perfect time !! Thanks Paulie.

At first I found him irritating but his passion and enthusiasm is so infectious.

It definitely says something about LA that the LA walkie talkies has so much driving in it

THAT PART WHEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT STREET AND HOW IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S HIS! PERFECT EXAMPLE IS HOW ALLLLLL THE STREET PHOTOGRAPHERS GATHER TO THAT WATER AREA IN WASHINGTON PARK -THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME AND CAN BE ANYBODY'S PHOTO!!💯💯💯

This has me analyzing my entire photographic process in a good way. Seeing Adali’s and a handful of others work who are really capturing the intimate details of their lives is really inspiring. I’ve taken so many photos, but not many of them represent my personal experiences. Going to point my camera more at the things I know really well.

Another gem of an episode. Could feel his passion through my monitor. Bravo Adali!

I was photographing for some years when I had 22 too. Made the mistake of deprioritizing it for many years cuz other adult life shit. That early adulthood energy is one of a kind moment, keep doing what you do, you’ll gonna go far.

You can her in his voice, thar the world hasnt beaten him yet

Nuclear enthusiasm tempered by intelligence ,,,love it. Also, great air bending in the mercedes.

Beautifully and honestly articulate and assured in his work. The light, composition, and textures of the images tell a story of LA that is authentic and raw.

We live in a time of living legends! I loved the iPod touch origin story, and when he busted out City of Quartz, I knew I could trust him with the photographic choices he would make with capturing LA.

Wow, I absolutely hated all the photos he loved. What a big beautiful world it is.

Like the car photos and the way you talk about your evolution and process, but Jesus, watching you drive with no hands while facing the passenger, getting stuff out of the back seat, steering with your thighs. . . you are truly 23 years old: invulnerable and immortal.

Absolutely loved hearing Adali share his passion.

I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY'S STYLE, SHOTS AND HIS OVERALL OUTLOOK ON NOT JUST PHOTOGRAPHY...BUT THE ARTS! LOVE THE VIDEO!!💯💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Typical college educated artist. lol I’ve been around them for years. Passionate. Loud gestures yet soft spoken. And always working on something. This was dope

Hands on the steering wheel buddy! 😂

This was excellent!! Wow. Love his energy, the no BS approach to just make it happen. Great inspiration. This series is a cut above the rest. Great work Paulie

Ah, the innocence of youthful ambition.

Not a true photographer (video editor/writer) but this series feels essential in helping my own creative journey!!! Even showed a few videos to my gf (film production) and it's helping her too! Thanks Paulie :)

I really love this documentary series Paulie. I see a little bit of myself in all the people you interview. The one thing I've noticed is all the young guys are trying so hard to be different or find their unique style and be Magnum legends by age 27, while the older photographers are more zen and just shoot.

So much to love here, but I can say I love how much he loves other photographers photos. Sometimes I forget to put down my camera so I can just enjoy other photographers body of work.

Wow I’m early 😂 great stuff as always Paulie

really good one, great work & super inspirational - thanks to both of you!

Trevor Wisecup's mortal enemy 😂

Brilliant photographer. . The thing that struck me was his fear of conflict while street shooting.

Awesome episode, Paulie. Great inspiration for making new work. I’m ready to get back to LA as well…

Really enjoying seeing other photographers that are outside of street photography its great to hear other prospectives.

These always make my day. We need an episode with dov and andrwsnapd in toronto!!!!

An Ipod touch, which was a thing at the time. bruh lol

Maybe its just me but I liked that when you asked him questions he stopped the performance and became what seemed a bit more genuine and thoughtful. Or, Maybe I dont remember what it was like to be 22 years old and really excited about photography. Whatever it is he is getting paid to make his work and his work is resonating with people. That's what matters I guess

It's refreshing to see such passion.

Love watching these videos. As I learn with my self and my own photography, these videos always brings new ideas and new perspectives on photography and finding uniqueness in your own. 💯

Put this on while I worked today and I loved it! Great work

Best one yet!

Walkie talkies is walkie therapy ❤️

Omg 1hr 20min!! Hooooolllyyyy

Really interesting love it guys!

thank you Paulie, i'm beginning a real job of photography, specially in a very good school in France, and i was searchin a chanel where photographers had this opportunity to show how and why they work and why they choose phootgraphy. Thank you very much from south of France

Great to see Richard Billingham getting a shout!!

the slide show at the end rips very nice work

Feature length walkie talkie. More of this!

Authentic. Appreciate the purity and passion.

Just Pure inspiration. It felt so reassuring hearing him speak the same things I feel internally. ♥️

As A Los Angeles based photographer, I completely relate with his point of view. I am an editorial photographer, but not shooting for the journalistic press more for magazines like LA's FLAUNT and the international magazine PURPLE Fashion Magazine. His elucidation of his influences are shockingly erudite for LA photography that most people don't look at. Just like in the art world, people think of LA as Rusha. People think of LA as Winnogrand, which is fine but what about the others. Its hard to keep up with his book choices because some of the work I have never heard of but I have been looking for the quintessential LA "photo" vistas of the vastness of my home... and Adali has seemed to find them! What about Filipinotown, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Glendale, what about Pasadena... K-Town, the fiuck NO ONE shoots K-Town! Also, keep the close up contextual work, I've been doing it too. I can't get any traction on it, but somehow it's important (to me). Maybe it is just a build up to something else? Can we get the photo books he referenced in a list in the description? Thank you!

The Nytimes editor went with this guy because it was cheaper to do a Chris McGinley style of photoshoot with his friends instead of paying each person who invested so much in their car separately. That said, this guy is very LA - I lived there and went into mental institution. Good video, Paulie & don't be put off by haters. I love you & Adali. later.

I love this guy!🤣

A lot of different opinions on this guy in the comments. I think this is one of the best episodes. He's not standing on a corner sticking a camera in people's faces and calling it art he's actually doing something different. That's a good thing. For me, the best episodes of this series are the ones that had photographers that are trying something different. You may not like it but it's different. Not the same generic stuff over and over and over again! How boring!

I enjoyed this! He was articulate and thoughtful. You guys covered alot of ground in L.A. I was familiar with every location and it was refreshing to see his excitement about them. I will say, though, there is a huge photography community in LA/LB/OC with photo labs opening and gear stores popping up.

Come to St. Louis.

what a vibe

Shoutout samy's camera!

great photos

i love his nikon F2 tshirt

thanks Paul

Its Colin Combs not Colleen Combs to whoever is looking fot the photographer

Nerds are the BEST dude. I would love to hang out with this guy.

Come to Detroit

He's living my dream life…

This guy is on it 👌

The camera on his T-shirt is a Nikon F2, not a Nikkormat like he thought 🤠

Los Angeles looks like the poorest city in the country. Literally

Wow. Intense.

Great episode. 56:50 is so good.

Nice to see a photographer who doesn't think surprising someone with a lens in their face is photography.

You're good in my book with a Massive Attack reference.

Amazing!! Excited to see the LA photographers! Try reaching out to Jack Bool or Cameron Strand! Two inspiring photographers for me.

"I'm going to make an illegal U-Turn" Haha

I fucking love these videos.

Next time you are in LA please do one with Jeremy Paige!!

Pls do Vancouver BC! lol make my dead town alive again!😂😂😂

Hold the wheel please Adali

the colour grade in this is perfect

check out The Last City from PABLO ORTIZ MONASTERIO one of the best street photo book taken in Mexico City, Mexico

Everything before the 69:00 minute mark I, unfortunately, had to disregard after this kid says he doesn't like grilled cheeses.

Does anybody know the song's name at the very start of the video?

So that Richard guy…just screenshat Google Street views?

❤

this guys good.

Kids got 22 year old confidence, college degree, and a lot of class and white privilege. His work is dope.

sadly la doesnt have the walkability that NY has ):
