Of course I'm watching Christopher! 😁 You do right by taking things at your own pace. Your health, both physical and mental, are priority. Your hard core followers will be here and with you regardless.

Thank you Chris,we all missed you. You will know when the time is right for your return. In the meantime we all wish you good health and peace in your life.

My very best wishes to you & your family Chris. I hope you can find some pleasure in knowing that your presentations when avialable are pleasureable to others. Great delivery today. And thank you for the update - I'm certain other followers were just a curious as myself.

So good to see you again, Chris! (I see you've added a bit of grey in the meantime.) In all things, going for a walk (with or without a camera) in an area of outstanding natural beauty is one the world's true restoratives. We're all rooting for you, mate!

Such a lovely surprise to see you here Chris. I have been thinking of you. Best wishes in the future wherever it leads you. :)

Missed you Chris. All my heartfelt best wishes for your future health and well being. Been there with cancer and treatment but now enjoying photography even more than ever with my new camera. Hope you do the same and make a totally successful recovery and return to KZfaq.

Chris! So good to see you again. I've missed you. My heart goes out to you in your recovery from cancer. Cancer sucks. So do mean people on social media. Do come back when you are able. Your loyal fans and friends respect your decision whether you return to YT or not. Here's to your health and full recovery. Cheers from across the pond in Arizona.

Glad to see your back and glad to see your on the mend 🙏

I suspected something was up regarding a health issue. I'm still trying to get back to semi-consistent YT postings after my wife was diagonsed with breast cancer a year ago September. Surgery, recovery, radiation etc. It takes its toll on your psyche. Keep up the good fight, my friend. It's good to see you back!

Good to see you again Chris, sláinte mhaith, that's good health in Irish, from Tipperary George.

Good to see you, Chris!

Chris, it's great to see you on KZfaq again after a long time away. I sincerely wish you well in your physical and mental health recovery. Thank you for this posting and thank you for sharing your story.

holy crap, you've been through the wars.. so glad to see you're looking well, and you sound very positive, which is often the biggest part of these sorts of battles.. and so great to see you back out in the field getting back into your stride.. keep well, stay strong, look forward to your vlogs at whatever cadence you feel you can or want to put them out..

Onwards and upwards Mr S, all the best, and your in a peaceful part of the country for your recovery 🙏

It's good to have you back on KZfaq again. 😊

Great to see you back. Having had a visit from the dreaded C twice now I know exactly what you are dealing with. It can be beaten and life can return to normal again. Keep going and hope to see more of you in the future 👍

Oh man, sorry to hear about the cancer. Happy to hear the physical side has hopefully been dealt with, but having had it close to my life too, I know how terrible it can be. I was wondering where you'd been, but good to see you're back :)

Welcome back, Chris. Take care of yourself and take your time. We'll see you when we see you.

Do what's best for you and your family and the rest will come when your ready in what ever way you choose. Here's to a speedy recovery.....

Like the image, thanks for the update. Take care of yourself, that's the number one priority.

Lovely to see you again Chris

Good to see you back, hopefully not for the last time

Chris seeing your video notification pop up truly warmed my heart. The world of photography and KZfaq felt a little dimmer in your absence, and I've missed your unique perspective and touch. However, understanding the health challenges you've been facing, it makes this return even more special and meaningful. I genuinely hope you know that while your content has been a source of inspiration and joy for so many of us, your mental and physical well-being should always come first. Life has its seasons, and sometimes we need to step back, recuperate, and focus on ourselves. That doesn’t make your return any less significant or treasured. Whether you choose to create videos full-time again or not, what truly matters is that you are on a path to recovery and wellness. Chris, your work has always been more than just about capturing moments - it’s about sharing stories, teaching, and igniting passion in the hearts of your community. Your videos have not just been lessons in photography for me, but also reminders of the beauty that surrounds us every day. To see you back, even if just for this moment, is a testament to your resilience and spirit. I'm overjoyed to see you well and on the mend. Remember to take it one step at a time, and know that your community is here cheering you on, no matter the pace or direction. Stay strong, prioritize yourself, and always know that your work holds profound meaning to so many of us. Cheers to more moments of joy, healing, and creativity in your journey ahead!

Glad to see you back Chris, I’m so sorry to hear what you have been through but hope you are on the other side of it now. I follow a lot of KZfaq photographers and I haven’t found anyone remotely near your level of professionalism and engagement. A real ambassador to photography in my opinion.

Nice to see you back Chris! Keep your head up!

I'm sorry you've had such a difficult time recently Chris, and good on you choosing to focus on your recovery. KZfaq is not going anywhere and neither are we! It's just so good to see you mate! Wish you and your loved ones all the best!

I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through this past year, Chris. Your absence from KZfaq has felt, but glad to see your return and glad to see you taking it at your own pace. Wish you all the best in your continued recovery. Its a beautiful area you have there for your photography hunring ground. Wishing you all the best.

Hey Chris, like so many who have already commented it is great seeing you back on YT. I've always enjoyed your content and your style, you're a natural! So sorry to hear what you've been going through in the last year with your health, I have a mate of over 30 years who is going through something similar to yourself. Look after yourself, it was great seeing you on here again but I totally understand if it doesn't become a regular thing.

Good to see you upload a new video, Chris. In a world of uncertainty, I'm glad to hear the issues with your health are going OK. Whether you come back to KZfaq full time, or just post once and a while, it's good to see you back.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, I would love to see more videos but it has to be the right thing for you

Good to see you Chris. Wishing you good health.

KZfaq and Social Media is a cesspool and cancer is ugly too (I had my own head and neck cancer in 2018/2019). However, life is arguably about the search for beauty, and photography offers us photographers a path to find that beauty. So to youtube or not, doesn't matter in this search for beauty. BUT, hopefully you still have photography itself in your own quest to find love/beauty. Thank you Plato for this insight. Take care Chris.

Nice to see you back Chris. Don't stress about talking about health issues when you're ready. It helps us more than you can imagine and you may be surprised that you're not alone

amazing to see you back! sending positive thoughts and best wishes!

Good to see you back bud, take it easy boss.

Brilliant to see ya Chris. Best to you and yours.

Heartfelt wishes for a full recovery. You were missed.

Hi Chris, glad to hear your on the mend physically, the emotional side of something so serious will always take a lot longer to heal, but I am sure you will get there mate..stay strong and keep getting out there enjoying the landscape and nature..

So good to see you back Chris, your presence on KZfaq has undoubtably been missed, it's a natural platform for you. I can only imagine the emotional stress, but nature is the best healer, and luckily you're in the thick of it where you are, so here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

Good to see you back & I hope you continue your recovery. Weirdly enough only yesterday I was actually thinking what had had happened to you.

I'm glad to see you back. I hope you find making your videos brings more pleasure to your photograhpy and you will continue as I enjoy whatching.

Definitively hard times, that you are going through. I hope, you you get your mental strength back, as you did fight successfully your serious illness.

Oh my! KZfaq didn’t tell me you’d posted. So glad I spotted this. It’s an absolute delight to see a video from you again and I completely understand what you’re going through right now. It was your channel that got me back into photography. So you will always have my gratitude for that. Even though I no longer do a great deal of landscape photography and have moved on to taking pictures of people. Your channel will always have a place in my heart. Thank you again.

Please keep them coming. Your channel is one of the very few I will make sure I catch every upload.

So wonderful to see you and how excellent you are giving yourself time to heal as a whole person. I’m so sorry this happened to you. You are always an inspiration.

Man, best wishes from Austria. Take your time. We will be around and are always happy when you find time to post a video.

Sorry to hear you've had a rough year but it's great to have you back Chris, you're such a natural at making these videos - hope to see some more from you soon!

Good on you Chris, take all the time you need. So lovely to see you & your wonderful photos. Stay well❤

Hey there Chris. Good to see you again and sorry to hear of your illness. I hope you're feeling better and I understand completely about socials, it isn't the nicest place to be any more. Hang in there and when you feel comfortable it would be great to see a video here and there. 😀

Take your time Chris, health (physical and mental) is more important than some KZfaq video. Enjoy the beautiful Eden valley!!!

Good to see you again Chris. You have got to look after yourself... its more important than KZfaq! Take care and look after yourself. Whatever you post on whatever platform I will look forward too. Ps if you ever want a chat and a pint...... shout.

Hello Chris, I'm happy to see you again, take it easy, I wish you the best!

Good to see you back Chris! Hope you stay well and find some inspiration in the Pennine landscapes

Chris, it's so good to see you again. Take your time and recover ... both physically and mentally. Wishing you all the best.

Hey Chris, I have really enjoyed your photos and videos. If you stick around on KZfaq I will continue to watch.

Thank you so much for sharing Chris. Take care and take things at your own pace. You have been missed! Get well soon,

I've always enjoyed your channel and hope to see more of your videos as your health continues to improve.

Great to see you back and all the best with your recovery.

Sorry to hear the year you have had Chris. It's brave to go on camera and explain your challenges. And fully understand why you would not want to dive into social media again. I hope photography can help your mental health recovery (I know it does wonders for me), whether that be making videos or not. Best wishes

Good to see you back!!

Hi Chris, It's really good to see you out and about again. Thank you for sharing you're health issues and we wish you a healthy and speedy recovery. Looks like a very tricky place to find a decent composition,but your normal perseverance paid off. Really nice images. All the best mate and take care.

Lovely to see you back, although I'm very sorry to hear what you've been through. All the very best for the future and I hope to see you back, with full health, soon

Very happy to see you again !!!

Very glad to see you back Chris, your photography is excellent as is your channel, & it’s always a pleasure to watch your films, take your time coming back, that film was a treat & very much looking forward to more..

Good to see you. All the best.

Good for you Chris! Glad to see you again! I've missed your perspective, so look forward to future.

Good to see you!

Glad to see you back 🎉

Great to see you back,missed you

Great to see you back mate 👍

All the very best to you Chris. I really enjoyed your content and I learnt a lot from your videos. I wish you well and hope that you return to KZfaq when the time is right for you. Thank you for everything.

Great to see you back and hope your recovery is going well.

Good to see you back Chris 👌

Nice to see you back Chris and hope we will see more of you. Take it easy!

I hope you have a full recovery Chris. Take care of yourself and all the best!

Glad to see you back again even if you are unsure whether you will continue with the KZfaq channel. You and I have had somewhat parallel years; in late 2021, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and as arrangements were getting underway for my surgery, the results of a covid-delayed colonoscopy in early 2022 showed a large mass of high-grade dysplasia (if I remember my terminology correctly) which meant I needed to have my ascending colon removed before my thyroid. The first op was on 29 April and, fortunately the mass had not turned malignant. Two months later (June 29) my near complete thyroidectomy was performed (papillary thyroidectomy with three of four lymph nodes removed). I had my radioactive iodine ablation on the day your queen died. Since then, I have been very fortunate; I wake up early and take my little pink pill, then walk the dog, ride my bike and wander around with my camera (a new one also!). I have been very fortunate with respect to my outcomes, and I hope you can get to the same place I am in good order. Best of luck & I look forward to more news from you.

Glad to see you're back and that you are healing, I'll hold out hope for more vlogs in time.

Sorry to hear, wish you a good recovery and good health!

Love this video, a big hug Chris.

Dear Chris, So sorry to hear this. I’m sending you so many well wishes. Take your time. Do your thing. Do what brings you joy 🤗

Great to see you back in action, Chris. Do continue to take good care of yourself!

Wishing you the best of luck with your recovery - cancer is a bitch but you can beat it!

Great to see you again, Chris! I wish you a full recovery and only the very best! Thank you for all the videos and inspiration by sharing your journey.

Pleased to see you and all the best Chris for the future.

Welcome back Chris

Nice to see something from you again. Best wishes !

Happy to see you again.

Great to see you again, best of luck for a full and speedy recovery 👍

Nice to see youback. Wishing you all the best Chris 📷

Welcome back Chris and I wish you well for the future

Chris, it's great to see you back on youtube. I totally understand your reluctance to commit to social media, but please know that your videos bring a lot of pleasure to many photographers. Your down to earth manner and straightforward style are exactly what I look for in KZfaq videos. Stay Well!

Good to see you back on you tube. Take care and look after yourself.

Great that you're back and that you were so open. Hope that was cathartic. Appreciate point about not needing the crap in your life - I hear you, there!

So great to see you again. A wonderful surprise. I have missed your content and wondered what had happened. Please look after yourself and do what makes you happy. A walk and a wiggly wall is a very good start!

Good to see you back Chris, hopefully more videos to follow.

Well having a new video from you Chris was a nice surprise. Totally understandable that you stopped posting to you tube, health and recovery should always come first. Your mental wellbeing is just as important as your physical wellbeing and while the vast majority of comments you will get on your videos will be very kind, considerate and caring, it’s the odd nasty one that will scratch at your emotions. Some people will say just ignore them, but we all know it’s never that easy especially if your feeling emotionally fragile. I for one would love to see more videos from you, but ultimately what I think isn’t important, nor anyone else that watches your videos, it’s your channel and your choice to continue or not. Take care.

Good luck Chris. Take it steady and good to see you back😊

Best wishes for the future

Thanks for the update. Wishing you well. Hope things continue to improve!

Great to see you again, looking forward to some great photos on here . Cameras aren’t boring (but I get your point) owned Canon, Nikon,Fuji, Ricoh and Olympus, all wonderful pieces of kit that I think make wonderful images for us to enjoy.
