Looking forward to that upcoming video on portraits Dan 🤞.

The Internet will always be a double edged sword. I want to be reminded of before the Internet so I can briefly go back and experience what it could have been. I guess you could call it wanting to be like others, but that creates a paradox with the new wave of photographers.

Regarding medium format romanticism, as you put it: There is this mega-emphasis on image quality, rendering, falloff, etc etc.. shooting rolls of film at $2 per frame when you count lab costs. This movement is centered in a generation that grew up over the 10-15 year period where analog photography seemed to have all but died. The jump back into analog inevitably is going to be exaggerated. Something along the lines of going grocery shopping while hungry. From watching your videos, I know you agree this comeback is overall a very good thing, but yes, I love your point about the comparative challenge of working with 35mm. Worked for Koudelka, worked for Frank, worked for Salgado, the list goes on... and worked for you (though obvs. nothing wrong with also carrying around a Hasselblad :D ) ... So there ya go. I was born early enough to live before and during the transition to digital and internet ubiquity, and I will be forever grateful to have experienced my brain and life in those times.

Good point on the deceptivness of the medium format in the days of the easier the better.

Even though I have no interest in doing this for a living despite a few odd paid gigs over the years I really enjoy you talking about your career and experiences in the craft. I also enjoy how you experience working with the different camera platforms and describe them since I've stuck with the 4/3 system for almost 18 years and I don't know any other type of camera format.

Love this series...inspirational, educational and entertaining!

Larry Fink said the square format is the most difficult because it has no inherent energy. The 35mm frame comes preloaded with tension.

Great episode. I am looking forward for the portrait photography episode.

Enjoyed this, great shot, great composition, great to spend a bit of time addressing the merits of a photograph.

releasing films faster than disney.

A question for the next q&a: How do you go about choosing a film format for a project? I recently got myself a Rolleiflex and I use it for anything and everything, completely neglecting my 35mm cameras. When would you choose 35mm over 120 and vice versa?

Sometimes you'd just have to accept that the picture you have in hand is the best you can do. By moving right you'd bring the people shadow perilously close to touching (if not actually touch) the left handlebar and the bike would also be off-centered

Shooting Bumpers of old cars is apparently cool....

only square would work great image... I would buy it... but of course I want to see the other element of the diptych !!!!! as always your presentation is what makes the difference

I had a similar gripe with a photograph I took that is very well considered by many.One thing that no one notices that could have been changed by rising or lowering a touch and it annoys me every time I see it.

That's a great image! I noticed it in some of your previous vids and thought that it was very great, glad to see a separate vid dedicated to it. May I ask you what was the focal distance of the lens?

Alright alright alright :D....Credit to McConaughey :D

Oh I have a big metal bronica s2a box and most my photos done on it are lame 😀 on well. I just like wondering if it worked or not

One thing I'd like to see you do is to take a picture of yours that ALMOST works, and tell us why it fails.

Nice not so much reflecting tinted glasses that don't show your bloodshot buzzed eyes!
