That's not a YT video, that's a proper presentation which all in this house enjoyed hugely. Thank you. Also, when can we expect the new book?

Such a pleasure to listen to your episodes!

These films of yours continue to be the best photography videos being made. Thank you.

I really love your channel, keep up the good work. Very educational, learned so much by watching your feed….thank you

Alternate title to this gem of an episode: Nuns with Guns

I have no words to say how good you are in your videos. The richness of your propos is amazing.The amount of work.. Thank you so much. It is a real pleasure to watch you. And i did not talked about your english humour. It is just perfect the nuns.

Masterful, warming, friendly, focused, enjoyable, the full works. And given that by episode 13 of anything, one might expect less, this is more.

Fu-king amazing ... as a former photojournalist I can relate to so many of these situations .. I too loved, and still do, photographing the crowd around breaking news and events.. Thanks Stephen ... 51 minutes and it left me still wanting more..

Stephen thanks very much .. this must have took a while to do BIG thanks for your time and sharing :)

Hi Stephan. Thanks so much; hugely enjoyable! Thanks for the work and energy you put into these. I don't see episode #7 - The Americans? Especially enjoy the ongoing psychopathic nuns theory!

what a great chapter, great job!. Cheers from Chile.

I have been bingeing on several of your episodes today. Your historical and interpretive approach to these varied photographic themes enriches the images and those who took them. I find your existential approach, aided by a sardonic sense of humor, to be a corrective to the overly optimistic perspectives on life. Life is difficult and uncertain. You have me looking over my shoulder for those maurading brigades of killer nuns! All jokes aside, placing the photographers and the photographs in a historical context with narrative makes their work come alive. Excellent work!

Stephen Leslie (or is it Leslie Stephen) produces some entertaining videos. The range of subject matter and the photographers profiled is excellent. Great to see photographic work reviewed, rather than the equipment that people use.

Excellent video featuring three of my favourite photographers, about time Metinides and Savulich have got some mentions away from the usual suspects

Great episode. Dark and funny and wise. Fascinating look at the luck, good and bad, involved in street and journalism photography. The ghoulish aspect is real, but so is the need to look at the reality of death. Obsessive and obsessed, compelled and compelling. Love it.

Brilliant. Thanks for pulling this out.

Another fabulous episode. Thanks Stephen

Hugely enjoyable video - these sad and somewhat sinister images make New York look like Pottersville, rather than Bedford Falls... as in you wouldn't want to live there.

Wow...that picture of the dead journalist Adele...that's possibly one of the most shockingly real and visceral images I've ever seen.

Brilliant as always...

Loving this longer format and the photos are very good did not know those photographers

Excellent episode, and I really enjoyed the length of this one. Many thanks!

Excellent again!

Lordy! This is the most depressing video about photography I've ever been witness to! After a stiff drink, I'm not sure if I should give you a like or unsubscribe?

Amazing episode! And, I have told all my friends:)

Wow, you were right, that one was a bit of a beast! Really "enjoyed" it though and to think the best I could do was a ripped shopping bag... 🤷‍♂

Thank you Stephen, another interesting and thought provoking video. I *knew* that about nuns.. Will watch my back..

thank youu for sharing, always..

Enjoyed that Stephen, and it's given me a healthy fear of nuns, which could well save my life. 🙂

Fantastic episone………….no doubt hours of research

Im all in Stephen, not too long at all, in fact I watched it twice. Your audience is with you, we love the whimsical presentation, nuns and all. I agree that Pesci did a great job at the Weegee character, even if it wasn't a film about Weegee. Pesci did a better portrayal of Weegee than say Johnny Depp's portrayal of Gene Smith (IMO) speaking of Gene Smith, Greg Crewdson is on the "a small voice" podcast of of late. What does this have to do with bad luck, nothing. However you did bring him up in another episode. Thanks again for another informative and entertaining Show and Tell.

Great episode - who knew death looked so much fun!! 😂

Loved every second of this. Request: please don't do any episodes featuring clowns.

.Stephen, thank you for another gem. Leonard Freed published Police Work ca. 1978. No nuns but gritty. Freed is a seldom sung photographer who should be appreciated especially by street photographers. And in another vein, any relation to Alfred Leslie, an American artist?

Another entertaining and informative video. I always knew nuns were bad news.....

Great video as always. My wife asks why are you wearing boring clothes today? A fan of your sweaters has been born in my house

Thanks for including the nuns! Have you taken any photographs that include nuns or other assorted clergy persons? This was a masterful episode! Thank you! Your summary at the end was magnificent.

So good I’ll not even mention the bookshelf…

So far my favorite video from you. Did you read "the photographic error" by Clement Cheroux?

Another fantastic episode, i'll be watching my back for nuns from now on

Excellent presentation! Now, if I see a nun, I'll be drawn to follow her, camera ready.

“…near a dead horse, which had just been killed by a nun!” 12:08

Finished, at last, great episode but probably you should start doing sagas.

thanks for a great episode as always. watch out for the nuns and stay safe. 😂😂😂

A little jarring to hear my last name repeated in connection with racketeering and murder, but I do appreciate the correct pronunciation. This doesn’t really help in your search for a Weegee nun, but I had two great aunts and one aunt, all Mancusos, who were nuns. Geese of God (Flying Nun headdresses). As far as I know, none ever murdered anyone. The depth of the research! It would be great to hear about your research process and sources. The length is fine: matched by great content and wit!!!

Solid proof that nuns are so devious and sly that they are only photographed at the scene of their crimes when they massively fk up. *May not be factually correct

👏👏👏

Natural continuity to this, war photographers?

Get thee to a nunnery!
