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
Thank you kind Pain, having such wonderful folks to speak to on here was plenty motivation to get something up before embarking on what is hopefully the final stage of this journey!
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 😊
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
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!!!
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.
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!
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 🙏
Thanks so much Tom, it's wild that there are so many diagnoses of late, but I'm grateful to know that the community will stand by folks as they go through their journeys. I wish you good health and fortune in all your endeavours too!
Hey you have people here, around the world, waiting for your return. Please take and get well. Hope your recovery is smooth and fast. Cheers from Japan.
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
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.
Yoooo, thanks man. Its something I’ve never thought about and didn’t know it effected people our age range, I’ll be more aware if it now. All the best and good luck
Music curation still the best on RUclips. Love those selfies from the hospital….tender and beautiful. Sending you love & positive vibrations on your journey of healing. 🙏🏾
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!
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
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!
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 ❤️
Ahah I have not earned that title nearly as thoroughly as you have my good sir! The SX70 grandmaster himself, mines still doing my head in on occasions lmao - you are loved and valued also amigo!
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 ♥️
Ah mate you’re a national treasure yourself, was like halfway to your stomping grounds in this video haha! Dunno how you did that roadtrip for the scanner in one go though this country is yuuuuuuge haha! Hope you your wife and your small human are keeping well!
you will get over this, billy boy. I remember Kurt Vonnegut once said: In order for a story to be realistic a character requires a flat like luck curve. Consecutive good or bad luck makes it unrealistic. Judging by this wiseman's words, you were unlucky enough to catch ball cancer but you luck will return to normal when you will heal in a quick time period. My prayers are with you and lastly, Stay hyped you beast :*
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
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!!
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!
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 RUclips. You show great courage and dignity in facing this. Get well and get back.
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!
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 😍
Thanks for sharing this video and hopefully preventing other guys from experiencing the same. Credit and respect to you, I'm sure you'll go from strength to strength, take care.
Thanks Etienne, I figured telling folks about it would do more good thank keeping it to myself considering the statistics, it’s well worth it if even one person ends up catching something early enough to avoid some of the more dramatic outcomes!
@@willysheepskin Totaly agree. And your approach to it may end up being a source of courage for people who may encounter similar situations. See you around 🙏🙏
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!
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.
Thank you so much! Anyone that works in the medical field is a legend in my eyes these days haha, glad to hear that you're having fun with the RB! I'll be making stuff with that 37mm again soon I hope, really want to shoot some skateboarding with it cus I reckon that'd make for some super sweet results! I hope to get back to putting motivation out there very very soon, thank you for seeing things that way!
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.
Thank you kindly Alp! I’m doing very well currently, we’ll see how things are looking after chemo tomorrow but my doc reckons it should all be smooth sailing without too many intense side effects, so grateful to have folks like you around man!
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.
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 RUclips 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.
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 ;)
Stay positive and confident! It is courageous of you to share all this information. It will be a tough time for you, I assume. Nevertheless, you give the impression to have a good quantity of energy left. Good luck!
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.
I’m so sorry to hear that Kevin, feel free to send me an Instagram dm or an email if you need someone to talk to about things! I wish you all the best also!
I’m sorry to hear about the diagnosis brother. It must have been hard and I wish you all the luck. The sunset shots on the beach are phenomenal! They remind me of Tatooine in SW!!

the eastern cape is so freaking gorgeous! (im gqeberha/pe born)
Well done for posting. Keep being a warrior we hear for you bro.
Ive been watching you for so long, even seen your appearance change throughout videos.

Get well soon William, greetings from Budapest, Hungary.
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.

Damn bro, that sucks...I'm sure you'll get better and come out a stronger self!
Wish you a speedy recovery Will, cheers from a danish fan of the Channel ✌️

Always the good guys... Damn.... Stay strong dude, thoughts are with you...
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.
That photo of Belgian Malinois dog is so awesome! Quick recovery :)

that r/analogcirclejerk hate was sooo good haha. but anyway, really hope you get well, wish you luck with the chemo
Cheers Jan, have been planning that since the day after surgery ahaha! Hoping to get a couple more decent jokes out of this whole saga lol!
