Thank you!

1. Yes 2. I went on several photowalks where the question “who is your favorite photographer?” would regularly come up and people either didn’t know or had answers that were always some RUclipsr (which is fine and obviously subjective, but there are clearly plenty of prolific photographers pre-internet). I often didn’t have much of an answer either only really being aware of Saul Leiter, Alex Webb, and Meyerwitz aside from a few others. Having been an incredibly pretentious music dork all my life I know what is contrived, played out, and boring with music. So, it became apparent to me that I needed that knowledge with photography if I ever wanted to create anything meaningful or unique. I still don’t have that knowledge or a favorite photographer necessarily, but this journey has opened my eyes to so many different kinds of street photography that it really point out how bland so much work is and how much everyone (including myself) could be doing more to push the envelope and stand out.

@@developingtank I very much appreciate the series and all the hard work that goes into it and thank you for the story behind the story! So fun to hear it. I know that every time I finish watching one of these videos, it provokes a change in how I approach my next trip out

Doing the research does the same thing for me. Currently in the stage of testing how to be more productive with these videos, so I can get more out and provide more inspiration. Stay tuned

Glad to hear you got a lot out of it. Thank you! 🙏

Thanks Chris! I really appreciate it 🫡

@@developingtank - and you keep my library request people working extra hard. Just ordered the Hiroji Kubota book you covered also.

@@ChrisBrogan that book is gigantic too. Enjoy!

Thanks for checking out the video

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the comment and that you took the time to watch. 🙏

In the process of moving, so I haven’t made any in a while. New ones coming once the move is complete!

@@developingtank special thank you

Thank you

Thanks for the comment. I hit a wall so often with street that I think it’s necessary to keep looking for new ways to capture things and techniques to try. Glad you got something out of this. 🫡

The aging of street photos is something I consider when taking my own for this reason. A lot of cherished street work is loved because of the nostalgia factor.

This is a very good take and I agree with everything you’re saying here. Those bad photos are kind of what intrigued me about him in the first place. He is clearly capable of taking excellent shots as well, but I think more than anything his photos speak to the process of making photos. It’s more interesting to me to see a full body of work that showcases the good and bad instead of only the best of the best. The fact that some of the bad photos are held in such high regard or are over analyzed speaks to so many things right, wrong, weird, stupid, intelligent, hilarious, and ridiculous about the photography and art world as a whole. Do you think his work would be held in high regard if it was found posthumously like many other well known artists or would it be disregarded entirely?

@@developingtank I think his photography would stand the test of time. To me the good stuff is immediately revelatory. It hooks me right away and even after years of admiring his work his good photos still draw me in. And since his methods and gear are so simple it can be tempting to say "anyone could do that" but other than some really good copy cats not many people have. I've tried. Failed. It isn't easy. I think trailblazers like Eggleston can run the risk of appearing common after years of other people being inspired and doing similar work. But that's the risk of all great trailblazers in art. If you know a little about the history of photographic art, which you talked about in this video, he really was a trailblazer in almost all aspects of his work. I think, though, that even if he wasn't such an iconoclast his images would still capture the imagination. Thanks again for the great video.

Thank you

@@developingtank :)

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks, I really appreciate it

Glad you enjoyed it

Gracias 🙏

Thank you 🙏

Yes, his work is truly beautiful. Thanks for watching/commenting.

Always down for suggestions. I’ll check out his work. @wasp9513

Thanks man, this format is an interesting experiment. I completely agree. They aren’t aesthetically appealing, but are awesome in every other way.

Love it when someone picks up on these little hidden messages 🫡

Thank you 🙏

Thanks! I just want the “crazy farang” response 😅

The mic audio is from the insta360 though. Ended up not even trying to Dji mic for this. Thanks 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks! DJI Pocket 3

It was near or below freezing every day. I’m from Detroit originally, so I know that always cold vibe. 😫 @janvirtanen9110

It was near or below freezing every day.

Early January

Thanks as always. Hope we can both start killing the RUclips consistency grind.

Thanks for the kind words as always James 🫡

Thanks for the kind words and subscribing

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Thanks for checking it out

No idea at this point

@@developingtank sorry for all the questions but I‘m really trying to find the right camera and I didn’t find any good photo examples for Ricoh gr III..is any of your videos just shot with the Ricoh? I really want to have that high resolution type of camera for low budget :D Thank you ☺️

Look up Samuel Streetlife. He has a ton of GRIII videos.

@@developingtank Thanks, i know him..but i dont Like the gr iii because you can’t change the lenses :( Which camera do you use most of the time?

Thanks. Feel free to share it around to any photography nerds in your life

@@developingtank Of course I will :) I guess you shoot photos yourself? Which camera would do you use and which one would you recommend for streetphotography that costs under 2000 dollars? ☺️

Ricoh GRIII without a doubt

@@developingtank Thanks you!

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks so much! I appreciate it 🙌

His stuff is awesome. I could never work like him, but I am inspired by his ability to do things differently. Thanks for watching

I’m not familiar, but I’ll look them up

I completely agree with you on that. Often those other reasons are much more interesting than what is on the surface.

Thank you

Hit me with a link after you post some of those photos. From what I’ve heard, Egypt is relentless in terms of exhausting tourist experiences (mostly in the form of taxis hollering and people trying to sell you stuff nonstop). Should make for a lot of opportunities to shoot in this way. Good luck.

Oh I’ve been many times. That place is wild.

Thank you. Do you have them posted anywhere? I’d like to check them out.

Appreciate it. 🫡 These are all shot with an X100V, so 23mm/35mm equivalent. What tourist locations are near you that you’ll try it at?

@@developingtank im in jakarta so there's a bunch to choose from! probably the national monument for starters

Nice, I still haven’t been there, but it seems like a high quality city for street.

I hadn’t even thought to do that, but it’s good reason to support not being so quick to judge what is or is not a bad photo.
