Wishing you strength and peace my brother.

Don't give up, stay positive, you have us in here..

Also a testicular cancer survivor. Thank you for sharing your experience and raising awareness around this illness!

Can’t believe or even begin to imagine this is happening to you Will. Your talent has always inspired me, but your spirit that you are facing this with is simply astonishing. I wish you strength, and resilience but I fell you already have both of those in spades. Look after him well Maya, you’ve got a national treasure in your care ♥️

Hahah the analoguecirclejerk joke got me so good. So sorry to hear about your news but I’m glad to hear that you are in good spirits and still producing work. You will always find love here will and we all wish you the best

Get well soon, praying for your recovery.

It feels weird saying it but this cancer better leave your testicles and never come again. It prolly was and prolly still is quite hard to process it and the whole procedure of getting rid of the cancer. But like you said it yourself, you have your family, your friends and your love maya. And all of us too, cheering and supporting you. Wish you all the power and a speedy recovery ❤️

From one mad scientist to another, just know that you are loved and valued, my friend.

So sorry you have to go through this. I wish you all the strength to get this over with - and defeat cancer.

Best wishes from Poland. Get better soon - me and my husband are waiting for your videos! Take care!

Came across your channel after the recent spate of cancer diagnoses videos that have come across my feed. You seem like such a nice genuine guy. And very talented as well. I wish you good health and fortune in all your endeavours 🙏

I have just discovered you via Bryan Birt's channel. What a calm and considered lo-fi story teller you are, as I am only a couple deep, so looking froward greatly to travelling through many more over the coming weeks. Your images are wonderful, so I dearly hope that you have conquered your big C. It would be a tragedy in so many ways, but missing out on your photographs yet taken would be a crime, they are no doubt an inspiration to many. From an aging man in the South East of England 😍

Man, your video brought me to tears. So happy to hear that you've overcome this and that through it all you still found joy in what you love.

Hi Will, Justin here, gutted to hear that you are ill! But I know your positivity will pull you through this difficult time. Get better buddy!

Ah man big love brother

Hi William. I work in healthcare. It’s awfully brave of you to share this. You take good care and I hope your treatment is successful. Your videos and good cheer have been something special on KZfaq. You show great courage and dignity in facing this. Get well and get back.

that r/analogcirclejerk hate was sooo good haha. but anyway, really hope you get well, wish you luck with the chemo

I hope you are doing better, William. I am extremely sorry about the diagnosis. You have a large community here that is behind you and will continue to support you.

Sending prayers! Get better soon 🙏

Gosh Will - really wishing you a speedy recovery. All love from Australia bro. The r/analogcirclejerk part cracked me up. You're seriously a legend

That sucks, man. Thank you for putting this video out though, the message about getting checked is super important. And knowing what’s normal so you know what to look for/recognise as something that should be checked out. I don’t know your sense of humour fully, but I think you might like the podcast “Jesse Vs Cancer”. It’s a podcast following the journey of Jasse Case and his colon cancer, not your situation at all but super worth listening to because of his emotional response and the story he tells

Living in JHB your videos have been hugely inspirational and I just wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done, sending my best wishes.

Nick I’m in awe of your humility and inner fortitude. You’re a beacon of strength and light. God’s speed my Brother. -Seal 🦭

Photo at 13:43 is beautiful! hope you're doing well🙏

Get well soon young man. Looking forward to your recovery and more great videos & pics!

Music curation still the best on KZfaq. Love those selfies from the hospital….tender and beautiful. Sending you love & positive vibrations on your journey of healing. 🙏🏾

William, I am in awe of your courage and resilience. I look forward to what is to come :). Also, 666th like and 200th comment

See you soon mate.

William! As a person who works in medical field and does photography as sidejob and hobby, I'm deeply sorry for your diagnosis. I repurchased rb67 because of you and been enjoying your videos especially the one about 37mm fisheye. I don't even know you but I have huge respect to you as a photographer. I sincerely wish you well and thank you so much for everything. You really were and are motivation to all the photographers in the world.

The best reference to r/analogcirclejerk ever

Rooting for a full recovery William !

That photo of Belgian Malinois dog is so awesome! Quick recovery :)

looking forward to hearing your first "hey there" after chemo. All the best!

This video is a very strong personal statement; thank you very much for sharing! I remember I was scared of this type cancer when I was young myself. I'm most grateful I was spared at the time. Anyway, I think men who allow themselves to be vulnerable ought to be given loads of love!

Sending good vibes and love

Glad you’re ok ❤️

Hi William, I am going through a similar issue at the moment and I commend you for being so honest and vulnerable about it. I wish you a speedy recovery bud.

Incredible of you to open up and speak about it. I am a big fan of your photography, your mental and physical well being so do take care of yourself!

Damn bro I fear that type of cancer because I actually have pain their that I ignored it for years and still do. Seeing this video has me tearing up, all the best bro and hope you get well fast!

sending you positivity and support from here. the photos are beautiful. as funny as it sounds i think of you and your photos almost daily. here’s to a smooth recovery

Well done for posting. Keep being a warrior we hear for you bro.

ur art has been something huge in my life who is starting on taking pictures for the last 3 years, thank you for touching us somehow, we will be praying for u to have strenght on going through this!!

Best of luck William with the recovery and looking forward to seeing you back in action making more great photography soon. Thank you for covering this subject that most of us guys try to hide from. Looking forward to seeing you out making new projects again soon. Jonathan William Fay 😊

It's very courageous from you to open up like that about this.

Stay strong bro, get well soon & hopefully its all gone soon. Keep up the positivity & praying for you from the other side of the world 🙏🏼

Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery

Hello Wil, very nice shoots you shared. Some of them are quite special. Wonderful country you live in with wonderful people. I wish you all the best, and look forward to see you in another video

You've got this! I am rooting for you.

William you have one of the best photog videos channels on you tube. You are honest, straight forward, genuine down to earth personality, and an asset to the photography community. I admire your courage and strength! You will get through this. You are proof that anyone can struggle with health issues. I am wishing you all the best.

That "hi there, Will here" hit different. Glad you are in positive spirits and surrounded by kindness. The images, jokes, and comments are youtube at its finest.

Ive been watching you for so long, even seen your appearance change throughout videos. Its surreal and youve even made a video on the rb67 fisheye which was basically the only informative video i could ever find for the lens. Hope you a recovery and would hate to see you be defeated. (I dont think you’ll be beat by cancer)

Hope you are recovering and doing better. I've added another Hasselblad to my collection, a 553 with the PME51 metered prism finder. I don't have it in my hands yet but should have it by the end of the week. Haven't been using my RB67 at all and that is a shame. I feel that I may actually sell the ones I have if I can ever get over the horrible feelings I get whenever I sell off a camera. Again hope you are doing better. Bob, Sophie Tucker and Bandit Corgibutt

Best of luck with the chemo therapy and hope you come out clean on the other side, Will. Take care!

I am sorry to hear, and I wish you a speedy recovery. I admire your positive attitude, I wish you strength and peace while you deal with this.

I haven’t cried in a while… it’s been years- and not to say this was “so sad” or what you’re going through is “so sad” but ummm… just the honesty and authenticity? Idk We watch this KZfaq channel because we’re film photographers and we love your work. I assume like me a lot of your subscribers are from the states and are enamored with beauty and how you photograph South Africa (and it’s very beautiful btw) but in watching your videos, it never felt like you were that far away. Your art and genuineness felt so accessible and attainable. It didn’t feel overly produced, but still beautiful nonetheless. All in all (and I can’t stress this enough) truly inspiring. I can’t imagine the shock. I can’t imagine the process- this isn’t something I’ve ever experienced or been close to anyone who’s experienced this so I don’t want to pretend like I know what you’re going through, but I’m sorry you have to go through this type of pain. I pray for a speedy recovery. Thank you for showing yourself and expressing yourself on this platform. Thank you for the photographs and videos. Thank you for camera reviews. Thank you for the scanning tutorials. Thank you for everything. Thank you for not putting ads on the videos lol (at least for now). I know you’re gonna be fine, and I think I speak for a lot of here when I say this… if you need anything, anything at all. We go you.

Wishing you all the best! Your shared experience makes me reflect about the people around me. Even looking at grass, leaves, buildings, my camera collection, etc all become meaningless. Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the very best happy moments!

William! great picture,

I started getting worried the last few days... Wish you fast recovery, hope everything will be alright.

Get well soon! My best friend (who's also from Cape Town) got testicular cancer at 25 and he's now 40 and perfectly healthy. Good luck with the chemo and come back to us when you've recovered.

Thank you for sharing your experience William! Very brave of you to do so and I wish you the best recovery! I can only imagine what you are going through but know that you have my full support. Your positivity throughout this whole video is inspiring and shows your mental strength! I'll follow your advice and schedule an appointment with an Urologist as soon as I'm back to France. Photos were great as usual and definitely held a lot of emotions & memories. Sending you love 💙

All the support man, we are here for you !

Wishing you a speedy recovery William!

Wish you a speedy recovery Will, cheers from a danish fan of the Channel ✌️

You’re a different breed and a special soul. This community is better because of you. Bless you and your family. Sending positive energy from the northwest. Can’t wait for you to be back and better than ever 👊🏻

Will so sorry to hear about this, glad to see your spirits are high. Your videos are some of the only photography content I watch and I genuinely feel like there is something really special. #SHEEPSQUAD!!!

Some of your best work was made on this trip. The sunset photos with Maya were stunning. Stay strong William, you've got this. ❤

I am so sorry to hear that! You are young and strong ! You will beat it and get rid of that situation! I am so serious! I wish you best William! Peace!

Have experience in the area myself! My doctor was quite humorous. He scheduled my surgery on December 31st and said you end this year with two, but enter the new year as a uniballer. My mother was in the room with me which made it quite humorous. Glad everything is going to be okay!

All the best William, I am 30 and had a painful lump come up last year, I had already been going through some other unexplained health issues at the time and was sent for an ultrasound and luckily was given the all clear but just the process and those thoughts going through your head of what IF its cancer was enough to really cripple me so huge respect to you for staying strong through your experience and being able to talk about it. much love and good wishes!

It’s official now that Reddit is literally cancer! This is just an incredible video and those photos post surgery are so precious. Amazing that you took those photos in such a state. Here is wishing all good health and full recovery to you.

It was a real shock to hear this but I am very glad the outlook is positive. I salute your bravery and best wishes indeed. In the pics of this video I particularly like the one of the cows. It reminds me of a Bruegel painting - lots of little figures and the light is just right.

I am sorry to hear you are facing this battle, wishing all goes well for you. Thank you for another great video. Awesome photos .

Holy shit dude... That is quite some intense news... Really sorry to hear, and hope that you will beat it. Send you all the positive vibes there are.

all the best Will and wishing you the quickest recovery. you have such positive energy - and a great talent for photography obviously. truly inspiring in every aspect.

My college roommate also had testicular cancer not long after we graduated. It took courage for him to share it with his friends as it did for you to make this video. He related how difficult the diagnostic biopsy procedure was because one of the nurses was a very attractive woman. I asked how he handled the situation and he said "well you tell a lot of jokes." He is 30 plus years on so have confidence and be of good cheer.

Sending you lots of love to you and your family Will, your positivity and outlook is inspiring

Just found your channel because I was researching the mju-ii but stayed because I saw this video, I just went thought the same thing 8 weeks ago, but was fortunate to not have to do chemo. Ahh man the physical pain from surgery was pretty bad and it sounds like the physical exhaustion after chemo was hectic too but I don’t think it really compares to the metal toll it takes on you being diagnosed with cancer, even with great cure rates it still sucks. Hope you continue to recover and heal, it’s great you have family as I did to help you through. You have a new subscriber now ✌️

Great photos and great hair! I'm really sorry to hear about your diagnosis though, Will, and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Damn bro, that sucks...I'm sure you'll get better and come out a stronger self!

I love the cadence you said to your videos. The smash cut in the beginning adds a nice bit of levity to what is otherwise a serious start.

Man that's rough, sending you all the love brother.

Best of luck film friend, I hope you have a speedy recovery. Sending you hugs all the way from Los Angeles, CA.

as usual, incredibile video Will. Also, fucking great editing and music selection. Also, fuck cancer.

you got em will. cya in a few weeks!

Always the good guys... Damn.... Stay strong dude, thoughts are with you...

Dear William. This is beautiful. I am thinking of you. You are so strong and such an inspiration. It’s been a privilege to watch the neighborhood kid grow up into such an incredible person. I am so proud of you. Eugenie

Will! De manier waarop je met de situatie omgaat is mooi en opmerkelijk. Emotioneel, maar wel sterk. Heel veel sterkte met het herstel, en ik hoop dat je snel weer de energie hebt om te fotograferen, want dat is toch het beste medicijn ;)

I hope u get better Willian, I admire your work and i never get tired of sayin that i love your videos. Espero realmete todo pase y sigas haciendo videos. Un abrazo.

Just came across your channel. Hope the best for you mate. One of my good friends also had testicular cancer and it was pretty mentally tough for him. Through a lot of meditation and prayer, he is definitely in the best place of his life now cancer free. I hope the same for you! Stay strong man.
