"Art is never finished, only abandoned." -Leonardo da Vinci Thought you might appreciate that quote

First!!!!! Hopefully you guys find this interesting! I left out the majority of the images and text out of the video as i’d like them to be first experienced in print, and I have to say that now (after the time of filming) I have the completed piece in print, it’s really great and I can’t wait for you to enjoy it! Also, before anyone wants to complain about a sponsored video - Please consider how much this helps out making more content for you to enjoy, making good videos is highly time consuming and this just helps it all to be a bit more feasible! Thanks to everyone for the support over the last month, it’s been crazy.

That was the most gentle plug in of a sponsor

You know, amidst the recent influx of photo editing apps, offering the same cookie-cutter preset filters, it's so refreshing to listen to the stories behind the choice of camera, film and color scheme. We seem to forget that photographs shouldn't just look good, they should tell a story.

It's really interesting how you got inspired for this project. Thanks for walking us through the process!

Plot twist: you're actually the catnapper

Would you say your friends gave you N E G A T I V E F E E D B A C K ?

It's really awesome hearing the creative process and how the story kept building! The tip about stopping yourself is KEY!

Great job. I've always struggled with the idea of taking a "series" of photographs and these videos are making me want to go out and shoot with a theme in mind.

YAY!!! I ordered it!! I really enjoyed following you through the process of this. I'm working on a new poetry zine and I think you may have inspired a new video idea! I'm excited to get it :)

can you make a video about your camera collection? and maybe tell us, what to start with and what to look for in a camera. that would be so cool! love your videos! greetings from germany!

Your content is getting so much better. This is the type of content I think the photo community needs most.

as a cat lover i thought this was a great idea, very informative video too

i really loved this process video! as a graphic designer who dabbles in amateur photography i havent quite figured out how to control images the way i do my design work so this was great to see the tech decisions and art direction of the project. thanks for sharing george!!

I love your work! I think their should be more KZfaqrs who so carefully curate their content like this. Keep doing you! It's beautiful.

Quality video as always ! thank you for sharing ! It's to get to see a whole process / breakdown

I dont know why anyone would dislike this video, we are witnessing a era of change in this field. so i like this alot. sharing what you are doing. pretty cool

I love this project! Super excited about the breakdown of your creative process

Brilliant idea for this new zine, and I think the missing cat flyer design for the front cover is absolutely brilliant. I think you will do extremely well with this!

I really like your work man, its so good.

what an interesting and creative idea, I love the "create-your-own" narrative of it. I really wish I had the means to get my own copy!

I just binge watched your videos for the past week. Man, I have stayed up till 4 every night just looking online for old cameras. I've been shooting on a t3i commercially for a couple years now. I don't even want to touch it after seeing the quality film has. Your videos have excellent narrative and are extremely informative. You've got me hooked. Also this zine looks dope.

This is a super helpful video for a newbie photographer such as myself, with ideas for projects but not really having an understanding of how to break them down to get them done. Thank you!!

i love when a photo series has a good story- yours is quite fun and i'm glad you told us. This process video was great, lots of good detail, thanks George!

Absolutely loving and inspired by what you're doing George. Big love from Malaysia. Don't stop! Cheers.

Mine came this morning. Really love the finish you put on the zine. Great work!

Such a helpful and encouraging video. Love the way you laid it all out and turned a daunting process into one that has manageable steps. Thanks!

This is so helpful and a great insight in your process! Quality content as always

Informative presentation, a good description of your process,thankyou😀

I really enjoyed you talking about your thoughts on how you came up with the idea and what camera, lenses, film... you would use then what you did to refine it! I would love to know more about how you/others critique work and look at it. obviously it's more of an art but I always love to here what people think of there work and how they take other peoples thoughts.

Are you going to accept Paypal in the future? I really want to order a copy but I don't have a creditcard :(

This is soooo cool!!! I’m absolutely in love with this concept!

Delightful in concept and execution.

Your videos are really cool and love how you keep your own style. Good job!

Found this channel last night after buying my first film camera... didn't expect you to be in the same town as me!

This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing your creative process with us.

Very helpful considering I'm in the process of layout my next book! Thanks George...

Every video I watch, I come away even more inspired ☺☺☺

excited to see it in person, love the concept

This is brilliant. Loved hearing the path of the entire project.

This is so sick. Really inspiring, dude. :)

George, fine job man! Did you ever see yourself at this point? It's so amazing to see how far you've come; it's inspiring!

This got me so EXCITED

Great overview of your process. Don't often get a peak into others' inspirations. Thanks for sharing. Purchased #83.

Nice work. I have ordered a copy.

amazing story and pictures

how have i been subscribed to you for all this time and had no idea we lived in the same place, I'm shook

Nice man. I always get stuck with longer projects because its difficult to see the end/finished product. Inspired by this and definitely plan to challenge myself with a month long focused project.

The Sherlock Holmes of film photography.

very useful and well broken-down video. wish i had seen this before i had printed my zines last year. btw i really liked the idea and the images as well

Great project!

This is so dope man! Really dig your style.

After watching the video I was super excited to buy a copy. Unfortunately it was sold out. Guess I'll just have to be faster next time. Keep it up!

Such a cool, informative post! Love your work, thanks for sharing your journey.

currently doing a project on Dog Theft so I found this super interesting process wise, kind of inspired me to try make my own scene from my photos so far see what I can come up with!! also want to try a month long project challenge and see what I get! Also boosts number of projects done which is a bonus ha!

Really love your work! Support from Singapore! Would love to purchase a copy!

i love this video so much.. helps me with my idea of making my own piece of art.. thanks

Really enjoyed this video and seeing your process. Very inspiring!

Excellent! I just ordered a copy 😊

You're genius, I'm definitely going to be purchasing the zine

thanks for teaching me to love photos congrats on doughnut city

this was so informative and inspiring, so much love

DAT BLUE EYE LUT

Hey george, You talk a lot about your insights from your friends and how it shaped your work and it got me thinking as I regularly look through and post in the FB group where a lot of work gets thrown about which people would like views on. What if we had a second page or a subsection that is dedicated to advice and critique on projects whether its to do with printing, direction of ideas or even editing and layout. I think that there are a lot of great projects going on in the community and the negative feedback magazine is a fantastic idea to grow these projects and I think some sort of page/forum to discuss project ideas and proposal would be a great idea to help support these projects happen whether they're intended for the magazine or someones own personal Zine. Just a thought that popped into my head, as im working on a project and dont have many people I know who I can ask for an opinion and my post kinda got lost in the FB page.

such an awesome concept!

This is really cool!!!

thanks for giving me the insights of zine making. i'm considering making one for my own 😁

would you say that you couldnt finish because the concept was quite open-ended or because of more of a perfectionist type of work ethic?

great as usual

I luv this it's supa supa great, excited to buy one!!

so calming

Really nice video George, would have loved to have seen the printed version of the publication though

hiiiiiiiiii, love you and your work!!!!!

Super neat, super interesting. First video of yours that I've seen & I really enjoyed it :)

Hey thanks for sharing. keep up the great work !

really enjoyed this vlog really inspiring thank you.

i love this a lot

nice video i really like your fantasy and i think that its really coll that from a simple idea you credit something really interesting :)

looks like we have a real 'ol Nancy Drew here! Great work!!

I love your idea!! It's also super helpful to see your process! I've been thinking about making a zine for ages- I think I'll set myself a month to do it too! :---)

great idea!!!

I really want to buy this zine but I love cats so much and I'm scared it's going to make me cry hahah

What quantity of zines did you order? How did you gauge it?

INSTANT sub, such a fricking awesome idea and process

I know this is really late, but are there anymore copies left :)?

this is so perfect like i love cats with all my heart & i also love negative feedback & ???? perfect combination???

Turns out you're secretly a crazy cat lady and you're just taking a photo of the cat before you nap it ;) *deeeeeeep**

Can't wait to receive the new Zine :)

AMAZING

this is beatifull

Can you show us how you worked the zine layout in indesign please please! I really enjoyed this video.

So dope

THIS AGED LIKE FINE WINE

good video man! helped me alot

Aw man, I just found this and completely loved the vibe of the video and the story you were telling. Too bad you already sold out... Would have totally bought a copy otherwise.

this was awesome

Hey George, just wondering if you would ever think of reprinting this great zine! I love all of your content, and, I mean congratulations on it selling out so fast but I'm supa bummed that I just missed getting to snatch up a copy. I've known about your channel for a while but I only just found out that you make physical...things. Everything's out of stock on your website:(( not complaining though, I totally understand! CANT WAIT FOR ISSUE TWO!!

Just watched ‘Under the Silver Lake’, very similar

Love your work! I also think of a Young Mr Spock whenever I see you.

Any chance you'll do a new edition of this? I missed getting a copy!
