👏 thanks for the shout-out! I think it would be MUCH harder for me to do the 365 challenge now than when I last did it. My quality bar is much higher now and probably 90% of the photos I took last time wouldn’t make the cut. I think it’s great advice to allow yourself to play in the field and then edit more harshly on the computer. In addition to this, I do one of thing (most of the time): I wait some period of time between shooting and editing. This would be hard if not impossible with the 365 challenge, but if I take some photos I’m excited about initially and try to edit and post process them immediately, I’m not as critical and I let more non-keepers slide through. I almost think of it like waiting to get film developed. The distance makes the photos less precious and I find what I end up liking changes by the time I finish.

My type of X100V is X-T30 with Fuji 27 mm prime lens. I buy it for the same reason - to have pocketable camera always with me.

Like it. I'd also like to add a zeroth thing: Do some work before you go out and buy gear. Such as: What do I want to photograph? How do I want to make photographs? Where and when do I want to make photographs? What are my restrictions - e.g. money, carrying capacity, ... And: Am I prepared to learn and move upward later based on my experience, go on what you described as "The journey" vs. All at once now? Then I'd walk out and select and pay for gear. Just so.

Holy cow, hair looking good!

Andrew, Jeez, this is some outstanding, grounded good advise. Your observations on cell phones as cameras are, to me, especially informed and helpful. Great contribution here with this vid!

Great advice and words to live by in the realm of photography. I really appreciate this video. It motivates me to do better and take my camera with me at all times.😊

Solid advice.

Great video, great advice. Also, I love that you disagree with comments on certain points. It adds to the genuine nature of your video, and to your authenticity. Keep it up!

Great advice. Thanks !!!

Hey Andrew. I love this video and I haven’t finished it yet because I want to get your thoughts on this. And if this makes you relive through some bad memories, please don’t feel pressured to answer. I’d just love to know how you balance having a full time job, being a dad, finding time to take photos (recreationally and professionally) and sitting down to review and edit your photos.

Good advice and overall video!

I like the dessert project. That is a good idea.

awesome video dude, I love your channel

I've been photographing for years and I would definitely advise against taking tens of thousands of photos with current film prices 😂 Might work with this fancy new digital stuff 🤔

Wow you look like your in your 20s with your new look 🤩 no need for your cap anymore!

This is an honest question, not a “gotcha” question. Does shooting film slow the 7200 photos a year process? shoot with abandon concept? The draw of film for many is to slow down. I’m needing to judge before I take the photo because I’m limited. Btw- A. Adams thought 12 portfolio shots a year was a great year. I can take thousands of really good photos a year but portfolio worthy? There are influencers who try to sell 22 out of 36 exposures are “keepers” and out of those 22 eight of them portfolio shots. Really??!! Thanks for making this video.

Quick question.. is that you in Build a Better Bike?

Look at that motherflippin' HAIR!

I would say. Invest in glass not bodies. Learn to edit in camera. Avoid instagram.

Are you healthy man? Just bit concerned about the facial complexion..

What the hell... to advocate X100 nowadays is very OOF. You could have at least shown them X-E with 27mm or similar.
