Wow, Alex, your video on the 944 bus is seriously impressive! The way your Panasonic camera captures the engine's roar and the vibrant colours is pure gold. Your editing skills are on point, too - the way you've woven the whole thing together is so engaging. I've taken the 944 bus to Lakeshore before and loved how quickly it got me there - definitely gonna miss that speed now that I'm stuck on the 44 route till September 😉. Your video brought back some great memories, thanks for sharing! 🚌📹👏 Keep up the fantastic work! 😊

Beautiful beyond words. I had been in the Twin Towers several times and remember that horrible day like it was yesterday. My sister is a DA in New York City and her office was in Brooklyn. The day of the attack she had to walk home since transit was shut down. She joined thousands of others as they trekked across the bridge towards their home in Manhattan collecting the soot and ash on their bodies as they got closer and closer. She lived in the building at 265 Lafayette Street in the Lower East Village, just above a neighborhood fire station. Of course being in the profession she is in and living in Manhattan for so many years, she was very close to all of the men and women who worked at that station. After it was all over she found out that 13 of the 14 members had all been killed trying to save others lives. My sister has battled illnesses on and off her entire life after 9/11 however she is still alive and healthy for the most part. She was one of the lucky ones. Thanks for posting this, it means a lot but still makes me feel emotional.
@AlexGetsAroundTOКүн бұрын
Wow, what an incredible story you shared. Just before I recorded this short, I had spent three hours exploring the 9/11 Memorial & Museum next door. I really wasn’t sure what to make of it while I was learning so much about what transpired the events on that day. I was speechless and never thought I’d be walking at ground zero, the spot where everything happened. I talk a lot more about that in a long-form clip, one among so many I am putting together to make a “movie” of what I filmed during the trip. I am glad your sister is still alive.

In a time when just about every pedestrian has a camera/cell phone in their hand and with "Big Brother" watching from every angle above, I just don't get why people get so blown away by Vloggers filming while walking. It is a real head scratcher. Also, at 2:15 of this video you walked by a venue that had posters on display, one being of a Tina Turner event coming up and it reminded me of when I saw her in person when I was a very young teen. It just brought back some really nice memories as she was absolutely phenomenal. They don't make them like her anymore.

Hey Alex! I just wanted to say that your latest video showcasing your OG diesel ride is absolute eye candy! The colours and saturation are insane! Your thumbnail pic is also on point - that you shot with the white building in the background the green zigzag windows and cyan colour 💕and the GO logo popping against the vibrant colours? Stunning! 😍 You've got a serious talent for capturing the beauty of these machines, and your filming style is so unique and engaging. I mean, that Panasonic camera is definitely doing its job! I'm a huge fan of your bus ride and walking videos, but this one takes the cake. I feel like I'm right there taking in the sights and sounds. By the way, do you have a favorite OG diesel unit of all time? Or maybe a few that stand out to you? I'm curious to know! Keep up the amazing work, and I can't wait to see what you share next!
