Thank you Simon, although, are you saying that that was the only thing that made you laugh? There were many other jokes. Please re-watch until you laugh again. Multiple times.
You can never join too late Dave! The important thing is that you found them. Now please go and get all of Canada to follow your example and watch. Thanks, I know that I can count on you….
How refreshing. No recommendations about what camera/lens combinations I should or should not be buying or using. Photography needs to examine and explore photographs so that we can learn.
Among a sea of photographers on IG, your humor makes you stand out. Your street photos are very good in a technical sense, but the subtle humor is what makes them great. Your RUclips is the same. Great content man.
Thanks very much indeed, that's lovely to hear. Glad they're hitting the spot, please tell all your friends, relatives and random strangers. More to follow....
Finally, someone who speaks for us bald photographers! You completely understand my pain. I can’t buy a waist level camera like a Rollie because of my baldness. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Absolutely loved this, please continue. Both funny and a nice photography history lesson. Lovely to see photography content on youtube that's not some fashionable kid talking about a Mamiya 7
From one bald man ( currently wearing a hat ), to another, thank you for making the single greatest video I've ever seen on RUclips. Which just happens to also be street photography adjacent.
Thanks very much, new book will be happening soon(ish) please subscribe to my mailing list. I'll send you a new story and then let you know when it's actually happening. Thanks for watching. All the best.
Look, I love your cue-ball noggin, so a pat on your slaphead for filling my screen with it. We loved this. So pleased there’s you out in the world being brilliantly you. Learn-and-Laugh is a great come-on innit. Obv the real treat for me was seeing YOUR photography. You know how much I love your work. Shine on xx 0:26
PLEASE DO MORE ! this is what i want my rekommendations filled with not circeljerk over the newst X43 xenon sigma alfa 40mm f1.6 mega sucker lens sensor 2.0
Thanks very much, if you can tolerate the rubbish audio quality on the first few attempts it gradually improves! More to follow soonish. I hope! All the best.
I did not know of this man's existence before your comment. Now I have gone and had a look and I can see that he has 425K subscribers and now I need to go and lie down in a dark room for a while. Thanks Luke.
@@stephenlesliephotoSome of Jamie's content is very interesting. "Why you shouldn't do street photography" and "Why your ideas aren't original" are a couple of good ones. But I guess he gets lots of followers wanting Lightroom presets instead of working it out for themselves.
This video is a delightful combination of entertainment and information. It’s always great to have a laugh whilst learning, yes? The slow but inexorable decent into absurdity (Beckett?!) was sublime and satisfying. Brilliantly executed.
I look forward to the next video. Interesting causality made from just one shot. Very interesting and different approach which is great! Thanks for sharing this video with us!
Do not despair Alistair, our masses are swelling daily. Glad to have you onboard. Please watch all the films and tell your friends, bald, balding or otherwise. I thank you.
OK, this was a hoot. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I feel so much better than I did 17 minutes ago. Many thanks. Yours truly, Bald Guy
FINALLY!! A great original insightful photography video!! Stephen this piece alone is a great piece of narrative and interesting art. I look fwd to more!!
This is fabulous. I look forward to more from you 👍🏻 thank you for providing street photography content that's not about camera settings, or simplistic beginner composition tips. There's so little content on deeper concepts. Thank you sir 👍🏻
What a storyteller you are. Please don't make this a short series, please make it a long standing fixture. From one bald man dodging other photographers to another.
Fantastic stuff, this. Thanks, Stephen, for injecting a bunch more humour in a discourse that needs it desperately, especially on RUclips. Can't wait for your -inevitable- exposé on those creepy stalkers of the much-maligned male belly. Cheers!
This was a great video and thought provoking topic. I’d love to see you dive into that bookshelf behind you and discuss more about the history of street photography. Looking forward to more videos- cheers!
Thanks so much. Although the bookshelf behind me is mainly old sci-fi books! The photo books are in a another room but it's too noisy in there to do the recording!
hi...Thanks very much, I really enjoyed this. As a balding man in the UK myself who has always struggled with it, and always hated having my photo taken for that reason, (unless I was wearing a bb cap or something!). Now I'm half tempted to have people take photos of me which highlight my hair loss! Again, thanks very much....Peter
Hello Peter, you are most welcome. I'm glad you found the film and that it raised a smile. Although I'm not sure about the wisdom of seeking out photographers to focus on your hairline, that seems fraught with danger to me....Please let me know how that turns out if you do and watch the other films, a few more mentions of us baldies can be found scattered throughout.
Glad you liked the wig, I was unsure about it but I think I got away with it… Thanks for the support, please subscribe and I’ll do some more but probably without the wig….
That was fantastic. Thank you. Your reference to comb overs me of a beautiful essay written by Jenny Diski about that. How the efforts to hide baldness draws us to what it is trying to hide. And she speculates what that tells us about self delusion. This was a gem. Again, thank you.
Cheers Stephen, it’s Sean in Atlanta! It is October 13 and I just woke up and I’m watching your video, the first one I’ve seen this morning. I have tears running down my face because you are hilarious! I am just subscribed to your channel and look forward to many more videos from you and thanks so much for a great way to wake up! Sean PS I’m not…
You got a like less than 2 minutes into this video, simply because you aren't talking about gear. I watched to the end and enjoyed every minute of it. I'm not bald, but a good friend is. I'll be sending him a link to this.
Lost my hair at 17. Now I realize it was a qualifying step to my career as a photographer. I wish I had known at the time. It might have helped me cope with the trauma better.
I very much enjoy the history you presented, love seeing the streets of the past with a dose of sarcasm/humor added. I am feeling a little guilty at the moment about my hair but I guess that's my burden to carry.
Don't feel guilty because you still have hair, just don't creep up behind any of us who are less fortunate! Glad you liked the film. Please subscribe, more will follow soon(ish). Thanks for watching.
As a fellow bald photographer I thank you for bringing this heinous crime to the fore and exposing the mean spirted out there, seriously though Stephen great content I enjoyed it immensely .. thank you
This is the funniest video I've seen for ages. Great to have much less earnest, uptight video about photography. Breath of fresh air. Can I apologise in advance for my, mostly, full head if hair? Does it help that it's snowy white - probably not. I look forward to your next one.
Wow, Stephen. Nice shot for your first take at a YT video. Humour aside- nobody takes the piss like a Brit, you opened my eyes to a photographer I knew nothing about and I even found the overpriced 2003 one on eBay US for a decent price. I look forward to your follow-up, which I hope will be the second among many. Cheers!
@@stephenlesliephoto One of the knock-on effects of your high value content could lead to requests for a reprint of your book (I'd be on that list...). Best wishes from Port Hope, Ontario.
Adding my (bald) voice to the chorus of love for this series and your approach. What you're doing here looks easy, but the ability to talk about photography with authority AND wit is a real accomplishment. Like my favorite people, it appears you take your work seriously, but not yourself. I am so looking forward to whatever else comes out of that original shiny head of yours. IMMEDIATE SUBSCRIBE.
I hope this isn't a short series! Absolutely loved it. I laughed so much my wife came over to see what was so funny and then made a crack about my own baldness.
ha ha! You are a legend among men... And that comes from someone who is balding at a rate of knots! Thanks Stephen. You have a new fan. I have subscribed and look forward to more wonderful episodes. Greetings from Cape Town (and other places around the globe!)
The French man throwing his dog across the river whilst wearing his dog throwing hat, that made me laugh. Brilliant.
Thank you Simon, although, are you saying that that was the only thing that made you laugh? There were many other jokes. Please re-watch until you laugh again. Multiple times.
I'm coming in a bit late here, having started with #8 and jumping backwards. Great entertainment for a cold December evening in Canada - many thanks!
You can never join too late Dave! The important thing is that you found them. Now please go and get all of Canada to follow your example and watch. Thanks, I know that I can count on you….
brilliant and still laughing at the "man with the dog throwing hat" comment, nice syrup you wore at the end btw 😀
Thanks very much. That syrup has been in my family for years. One day I hope to bequeath it to my son....
How refreshing. No recommendations about what camera/lens combinations I should or should not be buying or using. Photography needs to examine and explore photographs so that we can learn.
Hey Stephen! Remember me? 😁😁
Great to see you on RUclips 🎉
Hello, yes. Thanks very much. I'm just getting started. It's a lot more work than I expected!
It’s great to see these amazing street photographers back in the day, real pioneers
Among a sea of photographers on IG, your humor makes you stand out. Your street photos are very good in a technical sense, but the subtle humor is what makes them great. Your RUclips is the same. Great content man.

Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it. Tragically I sold my Mamiya 7 years ago to a fashionable kid. Huge mistake….
Great video, very funny😂📷👍🏼
Refreshingly different way to enjoy photography. More please.
Cheers. I am trying to do some more. Stay tuned...
It's so fantastic to hear a writer TELL about photography. Enjoyment!
So! Your the phantom bald chaser! Liked it very different angle this one! Cheer’s curly!
I rarely chase, just meander opportunistically.
From one bald man ( currently wearing a hat ), to another, thank you for making the single greatest video I've ever seen on RUclips. Which just happens to also be street photography adjacent.
That reminds me, I really must update my profile photo 👴
@@Milleniador lol!
Thanks very much. I’m not sure it is the greatest thing ever but I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. More coming soon.

Thanks very much. Episode 2 on Diane Arbus is already up. Episode 3 should be coming along very very soon, maybe even today.
❤ wonderful video in so many regards. Thank you.
Thank you too!
I don't usually subscribe after only watching one video, but I did and will probably binge watch more of your videos. Thanks!
Enjoy your binge, remember to take food and water breaks.
This made my day. Thank you.
That's very good to hear, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. More hopefully coming soon.....
Great in depth of your vision. Of course already subscribed!
Much appreciated, thanks very much.
A bold move indeed! Make it a never-ending history, I want more!!!
I will try.
Great vid! Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. More to come soon…
David Campany and Geoff Dyer eat your hearts out. Surely some of the greatest photographic criticism of the last ... well, few weeks for sure.
Thank you Richard, your support is valued and welcome. Please watch all the film and force all your friends to do likewise. Happy new year!
Great video keep going!!!
Thank you. I will try.
It's been awhile since I was so absorbed and amused by a street photography video. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Liked and subscribed 👍
Thanks very much Zisis, very glad to have you onboard. Hope you enjoy all the others as much, if not more. All the best.
Wonderful content and delivery. Both informative and hilarious. Thanks.
Thank you, it's a pleasure.
Love the deadpan delivery 😂. Funny and interesting

Hilarious ! It felt like a send up of Jamie Windsor , who's also a bald photographer👍

@@lukemorgan7979 Okay, I will watch and discover why I shouldn't do street photography and report back.
This was hysterical. And I can relate, as a photographer whose own hair is waning.
It’s not meant to be funny John!

I look forward to the next video. Interesting causality made from just one shot. Very interesting and different approach which is great! Thanks for sharing this video with us!
love your narrative, a very good video. a very bold theory u present. i want to state that even the abstract smiley emoticons are bold🙂
I'm a rapidly balding photographer. You have given me new hope. Bravo!
Do not despair Alistair, our masses are swelling daily. Glad to have you onboard. Please watch all the films and tell your friends, bald, balding or otherwise. I thank you.
