Oh Sam, I watched the entire video and I feel like my heart is so full. I felt your joy through the screen! 💖💖💖

I love those, I think you are really talented

Thanks for being so open and vulnarable about your travel/photography anxiety. I can definitely relate, and I think a lot of people can. I always feel anxious taking film photos. I feel the pressure to take a good photo, and then I feel less present because I’m thinking of taking pictures all of the time and that makes me even more anxious, the feeling that I’m missing out on simply enjoying the moment. But then, almost every time I do take a lot of photos, I am so happy with the results and so glad I took them. So, maybe there is no real solution for it, except to try to balance just enjoying the trip like you said and taking the pictures you really want to take. By the way, I love the shots of the people practicing in China Town! The 28mm has a really nice documentary look to it.

Thanks for putting in all the work on this video, Sam ☺️ I think over the years I’ve lost some of the excitement of going out and exploring and taking photos, or of documenting a trip. Though I feel like you were saying that it’s still valuable to preserve the memories, and I appreciated that. Thanks for showing the technique side of what you do, and also the thoughtful philosophical side 😊

Hey Sam, I truly enjoy your videos and thank you for just being you. You convinced me to get the Pentax 645 NII which im excited to get and take to my trip. Keep up the great work 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Thanks for posting this. I always struggle on a trip deciding on cameras and film and always feel like I haven’t shot enough, but I like how you put it tourist vs photographer… and sometimes its OK to be a tourist first. Travelling can be stressful enough. I guess just think of it like a scouting trip.

this is literally one of my favorite vlogs ever. idk how you do it but you make everything so wholesome and exciting.

I’m glad that you did document the trip. It’s always great to look back on memories. Thank you for sharing your struggles with taking photos day to day on on a trip. Sometimes as photographers I think we can put a pressure on ourselves to capture amazing photos all the time traveling. Looks like you had amazing trip though!!🌸✨

I love the grainy expired B&W you did. It is a great look to me.

your videos are incredible calming. it makes me want to just relax with my photography and just have fun with it

Oh Sam. I totally felt how you feel when it comes to travelling to an exciting place and then dealing with everything to with it etc. wanted to give you a hug! NYC will be waiting for you next time 😊 you’re an awesome photographer sam and such a warm human too. Love your videos 🎉

You will make a trip to NY again. I think sometimes we need to simplify our thought process, especially when it comes to photography (and travel). Your video brought a smile to my face. Keep 'filming'😊

B站看不了就来这里看啦，不能错过Sam的每一期视频❤

I have been so unmotivated with shoot and you inspire m so much. I love your work keep going with it!

Finally update! While I have subscribed to your channel for two weeks, I love your videos. I have watched all of them, great work! Very 鹅妹子嘤！

Well Sam, I'm glad you brought the camera. See Sam Captured in Captured by Sam. Enjoying the museum.

Hi Sam! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Your videos are so inspiring!

Such a nice video, Sam! I’ve also been transitioning from not being as interested to ‘just go out and take photos’ unless I’ve a plan or purpose in mind. Which I know is growth, but also feels like some form of loss of some carefree joy of photography. Your video resonated w me quite a bit ✨

Despite you being emotionally flat-lining on this trip the hotel photographs look stunningly Kubrickesque. If you have not seen the Stanley Kubrick-directed movie titled "The Shining" take time to watch it, It takes place in a hotel. You do on occasion unwittingly produce eye candy. I smile inwardly as you go from stumbling to soaring sometimes in the same breath. Your videos are unique and your mistakes are ours from deep within our souls. I am old and know these things. Carpe Diem is latin for Seize the Day

NGL under exposed Portra is a vibe

The first time I shot the DELTA3200, I was shocked by the graininess of it and it was even not expired! Its granularity is really high!

❤终于看到这期节目了，hi Sam我是柠檬茶呀～

I think the problem of the expired delta 3200 (besides being expired) is that its real speed is 1000, you are supposed to push it if you want higher speeds just like Kodak P3200

I'm preparing myself during this month for film photography. Am I late ? I dunno. But, what I know, everytime I see the CineStill images, I hold myself. Kodak and Fuji are the ones that inspire me and now Fuji is out. What about Kodak ?

I found my Grandma's (died last year at 103) camera with a roll of weird walmart Polaroid 35mm film in the can fully shot. and three rolls of Kodak Gold unshot. Is the unshot film useful at all considering it was unrefrgerated at all and maybe 20 years old? And is the roll that was shot developable? I think I will try anyway because if even a dark or blurry image of our memories exists...I mean they're all dark and blurry now.

啊 喜欢你最后说的一段话！！

Wait, wait, did you say... 3AM..?!? 😱😋 Great video, you're a person first, photographer 2nd (or 3rd)!

I have recently used ilford 3200 ( not expired yet )...no grain ...i would have liked it grainy though

Hi Sam.集集精彩!! 什么地方可以看到亚当斯的作品展览呢，我想过去看看。最好在东北部地区。

Hi I'm was curious what the of film was used on the photo at 9:06? Also this was taken with the Minolta yes? Thank you for your time and inspiration!
