This is better than Netflix, Prime, HBO... all at the same time you're the best man! Congrats! and please keep them coming!

why do you have like only 45k subscribers? this channel is gold!

I feel like a tourist (in a good way) every time I watch one of your videos. Great to see Mathias' approach and Samuel's photos as always.

New York is such a great place for street photography... And this is a wonderful video.

That was the best 32 minutes I’ve ever watched 🙏🏽 Amazing dude!

I moved to NYC literally a week before the city (and world) shut down. My main passion is writing/flash fiction, but I started getting into street photography last year while traveling the States and in Europe. When I moved here, I had a grand vision (like everyone else) about how photographing the city would be; that my creativity would come alive every time I walked out of the apartment with my camera. However, for obvious reasons, street photography has been extremely difficult strictly for the drastic lack of subject matter walking around these days, even 6 months after the official start of Covid. Everything in this video reminds me of what I’d always imagined NYC to be, especially for street photography. Even tho this version of the city is still very, very far away, it was cathartic to watch this and think about what could have been - and about what will be back one day, no matter how long it takes. Great content, love your channel!

I've been on your channel for a while, but this is the first video where I truly realised how great of a videographer(?) you are. From 0:45-2:45, just wonderful work, Great stuff man!

So so crazy seeing NYC just a month or two before the start of the COVID epicenter in 2019/2020 and with everyone without masks on. A different time in history for sure. Good stuff Sam

Hello Sam, thank you so much for this wonderful piece of work with your friend Mathias. I am from Cebu island in the Philippines and your work is so inspiring to us seniors who are going to spend the rest of our lives taking occasional photos of people and streets here.

The New York photography scene is the best.

The dynamic range in this footage is crazy. Beautifully shot as always 👌

Brilliant as always. The song at 27min was so perfect, like the montage scene in a New York based film in the 80s ha ha. Great work.

These video’s keep getting better each time you upload! The quality is always on point and at a certain level (must be the Japanese roots 😉). Your style of videography fits the streetphotography you’re known for, it’s very natural and doesn’t feel forced. You managed to develop an own kind of style that sets you apart from other channels! 👌🏼 But your strongest point is that you take your time, you’re not afraid to upload a 30+ min video and I like that. It really helps to tell the story of your guests and makes it interesting (and somehow calming 💆🏻) to watch. Looking forward to your future endeavors in 2020!

love your music choices. i actually suggested the GRiii to my cousin because of your videos. now i want one as well after having tested his camera.

Love the b&w from this camera. Always looks good. Nice and contrasty.

Love the GR Project Samuel. Great work. I absolutely love my GRIII.

One of the best series I have seen on KZfaq. Congrats and thanks Samuel. I hope you also enjoy your new MFT gear.

This brings back so many memories of when I was living in New York. I remember every spot clearly! I might move back, I miss it so much. Great video man!

Another good one Sam - you're an essential part of the international street-shooting scene. Nobody can contest that by now and those that do should have a look at your 2020 work.

Have you ever thought of doing a series where you meet photographers who don't actually use the GR and spend a day with them shooting it for the 1st time?

Very well done. Love this one. It makes me homesick. Excellent musical selection. What more can I say? I know, outstanding vlog.

Beautiful cinematography.

Wonderful video of a beautiful city. Mathias has a great eye for street. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video and some good pics. The best bit however is Mathais' shirt. Great design. Any idea of the designer/make ?

Terrific video Samuel!! It has a lot of great street info and Mathias seemed like a perfect companion for your visit. I hope you get a chance to get back to NYC soon. It was also nice not having to hear how great a Leica is every few minutes. The GR shots are wonderful!!

Samuel, this is superb! Thanks for another fine video.

you're applying music really well to mood of each photowalk/interview, great job and taste man :)

This has been my favorite so far. I'd say 85% the video and 15% that I lived there for years, but really this one was great.

The Samachine Gun strikes again with another epic video!

2019 is the new BC, before coronavirus

Watched this morning before going to work. It made my day.

Beautifully filmed and edited! The opening NYC montage was sublime -- reminded me of the opening montage in "Midnight in Paris." And the music choices and the transitions between them and the timing of the video were all perfect. Oh, and it made me follow Mathias on IG too. Cheers!!!

If those images were from the GR - Wow! I always forget how awesome these little cameras are

Fantastic. Time well spent. That guy was amazing! 🔥🔥 photos

More such content bro. I just binge watched almost the entire series.

Phenomenal work Samuel. This channel really grows, it was something special year ago, but it gets better with every video. Very inspiring.

This filming is outrageous

Another fantastic video! Keep 'em coming!

nur ein Wort: MEGA!

I'm really enjoying this series! When I had seen Mathias using the flash on his camera, I wondered how much of his overall stealth factor disappears when he is using it, even with him using it midday. Great street shots from both photographers in this video! Thanks for the inspiration!

Your videos are amazing! Amazing edit cuts and just get the feel of NYC! Having guest photographers is amazing as well! 😊

Watching with headphones and hearing all the coughing in the background just knowing what happens fast forward 4 weeks

Great video, nice to see New York and a bit of street work. Makes it when you add a little Synthwave in here and there too.

Love your videos GR project! Great work!

I am so happy to see someone professional using the Pentax k1000. That was my first ever camera.

The magnetic sensor stabilization on the GR3 is what is convincing me to purchase one. Very enjoyable vid guys thanks😀📸

Amazing video quality, was this with the X-H1 or Hero 8? Also great colors and contrast on the stills.

Shoes Dangling from Power Lines has nothing to do with Drugs or Drug dealers.

That was a NEXT level YT doc. The editing was superb and the intro felt like a Woody Allen movie. Only better.

Wieder großen Dank für dieses Video! Komm gut ins neue Jahr! Gruß, Marco

Great channel and video. Loving your GR project.

The intro video! 🤯

Mathias has a very "Tom Hanks" aura.

Fantastic video! I really enjoyed watching Mathias go out and show us how he works. Also the editing and pacing was great. Thank you so much for doing these, I learn so much!

This was great. If I ever go to NY I would like to meet Mathias and his group as well....

Another excellent upload. So inspiring and done so well

Thanks That remind me what NY looks like just before COVID

Scheiße!! Man kann hier nur 1 Like da lassen! Geiles Video mit noch geileren Bildern!

That was awesome! Congratulations! Great video!

this video is really freeking good ! the quality is up there you should do more video like this !

Want to buy a GR and do street shot in New York after watching this video! Many thanks for sharing such great interview!

The best keeper is the one with the two guys fighting.

I really love the light in N.Y at sunset, it have something special. Great shots !!!!

Great video, love the work of Mathias!!

Super cooles Video 😎 klasse geschnitten!! Jetzt will ich auch nach NYC.

good VDO clip, very enjoying with this one

This was great. I really enjoyed. Good photography and insightful conversation.

Another great video Samuel. Would love to see New York one day 📷

It's now 4 years since this video. I love all your content, especially the GRIII of late. Is it still a camera you would recommend. I have tried Nikon, Fuji, Sony and a few others in between but the Ricoh really appeals to me (even though I'm a few years late to the party!).

Great stuff mate. I picked one of these up because I watched your videos had it about 2 weeks and I love it.

Hey Sam, I love this video of yours and your work. Also I fell in love with Mathias’s work after watching this video. I just have one question, can I know the flash Mathias uses for his Ricoh GR III. I too want buy it. Could you please help me in finding the right one ?

Saw my country Philippines @ 20:20. Great work as always Samuel!

22:41 that would have been a great shot; and coffee date. :D

Maybe I will be in NYC for street photography in February. Amazing work Samuel 👍🏼. It was a pleasure for me to dive again into the streets of NYC for half an hour.

Loved the intro, great video lin!

Good old New York

Wow ! Really wonderful and inspirational experience of your video ... thank you so much ...

New York is full of Life_ beautiful for street photography go to Staten island

lucky to find the gr projec!!!!!

Wish i was able to meet up while here! Great video and your color grades using the XH1 are amazing. Very sharp.

Many great shots. Love 29:08.

14:20 : "Ja, pattiniamo FORZ" Your average Italian tourist 🤣

That NY intro is lit!

Samuel, what is that flash that Mathias is using at 15:03? I can see its a Fuji but what is the model number please? Its smaller than the Pentax that I see many photos of the camera with this flash mounted on it

8:28 the music ,the cling clang from the ''metal bridge'' and 8:35 coffee drop

Now I want to go

Nice work! Looking forward to scooping GR soon!

great as usual!

I most definitely going to do some GR videos, love that camera

This seems more a video promo, rather than still photog promo.... I mean music tracks, video clips, documentary feel.

Very well done!

Watching NYC pre pandemic 🙂

great video! so much love your color grade. btw which film simulation do u use or the F-log?

Great, thanks to both 😁

Amazing video. Really nice project.

VERY GOOD RESULTS. CONGRATULATIONS.

Also, nice Scotch&Soda shirt Mathias!

Mathias has an amazing eye for photos :O

I don't own a GR and don't think it would be the best fit for me given my budget and what i typically shoot but i really enjoy this series of videos! Great job.

Cool series those GR episodes! Interesting guest too!
