The gods have descended from the sky and blessed us with a 1.5 hour Grainydays video
And god sent Jason down from the C41 mountain to spread the gospel of film grain. Grainy days now, grainy days forever. Amen.
Amen
@@petermary70 right! This made my rainy Thursday afternoon pissing away time until 5!
Baxter is a fair and just God.
These are always my favorites. Super relaxing and inspiring
ahh finally, an hour and a half of delaying my seasonal depression
Just Seasonal? you're lucky...
A toilet zine would be the shit
Hehehehe wordplay
Literally
Waiting for it.
Taking shots of Kirkland whiskey every time you uttered the word "Abandonded" made this one of your best videos to date
How many shots was that lol
@@H1N1777 How many bottles, you mean?
Baxter's appearances:
- 1:10
- 1:42
- 1:51
- 14:17
- 1:33:02

*Still watching the road movie. Keep in touch.
you forgot 14:17
the reason i watch
@@scruffkingman this is the way
The comment I came here for.
@@PhilKnall you are welcome
1.5 hours of grainydays content is just what my desperate soul needs.
hahahahahah
Wow... Didn't think it would ever happen, but I think I reached my quota this year for looking at film photos of abandoned buildings/gas stations. Congrats fellas you two should be proud.
I’ve fallen asleep 3 times before I finished, but those were my greatest afternoon naps.
I really enjoyed this longer format, since it gives me content for multiple days!
Shit I’m about to take a nap now 😂
Ive rewatced so many of these vids multiple times, and every time im lile "dude I dont remember this part"
"sometimes everyone around you is wrong" I'm gonna tattoo this phrase on my forearm
I’m turning that into a button
I just gotta say I really look forward to these videos man. You're really sick, in the head and compliment wise. Thank you for giving us another short and easily digestible video!
I've never been to the USA. But judging by the RUclips channles I subscribe to, it mostly consists of barren landscapes, abandoned gas stations and motels, and film photographers with Mamiya 7 cameras. Seems nice.
Dude goes to Route 66 but does not take a 6x6...
Loved that part at 1:15:03 where you did that thing at that place.
Okay, I finally finished this cinema masterpiece and I am totally up for another and many more long-format videos. Keep them coming. Maybe I will run into you when you all choose the East end of Rt66. I mean, you did miss Galena, Ks and Joplin Missouri so possibly LOL
This is the only place on RUclips where I will watch a video that's longer than 30 minutes.
i wont even make videos linger than 30 minutes cuz same.
An Epic. 4 Stars. I did grow a beard while watching it. Looking forward to that 9 hour Director's Cut....
only a minute in and Baxter has already appeared, this is going to be a good one
The Mami6/7 curtain is for changing lenses, not loading film
As someone who has recently rekindle with his love of film photography after putting my film cameras for two decades, seeing you and Caleb venturing on these trips inspired me to do that with my best bud who deserved all the credit getting me back into shooting on these photographic dinos. Keep it up man!
I love the "I'm trying to record" bit. Also stoked on the long video. This trip looks like it was a blast.
1.5 hour of film photography with grainydays ? Who am I to deny myself this pleasure
i didn't check the runtime until about 12 mins in and i was so pleasantly surprised. i'm more than on board for more grainydays feature films to grace my life
This video's exceptional. I've watched it twice now, which says a lot for a 1.5h video, and I'll probably watch it several times more. So many brilliant photos. I'd easily buy a book of these if you ever put one together (you should).
Yes, it's excellent content and makes me want to hit the road with my trusty cameras!😊
Call the toilet zine "Watch the Throne", I'll be taking my consulting fee now, thanks
Capture the throne* perhaps? Cause y'know, capture capture
Ascending the Throne
I truly appreciate the inclusion of the recurring falling phone in the editing.
I watched another video about Route 66 from about 10 years ago. What surprised me is the number of abandoned homes, businesses and even towns along the once iconic road to the west coast. I live in a suburb of Chicago and occasionally we will visit a place along Route 66. That is quite a trip where the cost of film deveopment was probably the largest expensive. Thanks for sharing.
Due to the flat structure of the TMAX crystals, this film has a tendency to be less sharp on the edges and lines in comparison to the more conventional gravel shaped crystals of its elder (late) brother the Plus-X. This is why we were not so overwhelmed when the TMAX came out in the late 80s. Kodak's pitch was that the flat crystals made them more light sensitive. For some real badass pronounced grain though, the TMAX 3200 (dedicated ISO 3200 sensitivity), was a great thing on the other hand.
This said I personally would rather tend towards monochrome films from any other brand like for example Agfa or Ilford to dodge the "focus softness" of the TMAX when covering the range of up to 400 ISO.
I finally got around to watching the rest of this. One month after you uploaded this, I was on my way out to Nashville from the Bay Area to get all our stuff out of storage. My trailer broke down in Santa Rosa at midnight. I ended up having to go to that same NAPA for some parts. I remember thinking I wish I had more time to drive around and shoot in that town and how cinematic it looked. My eyes did not deceive me. Small world.
1.5 hours of grainydays is just what I need on a rainy afternoon :)
those were some nice shots. shots on film.
Dude I just found your channel randomly and usually have a hard time watching longer videos like this one… but man this was awesome… just the chill vibe you have and the fact your actually out shooting photos and not cramming specs down everyone’s throats is just such a change of pace compared to a lot of other channels… you earned yourself a sub… 💪
I live in OKC and been to those underground tunnels. They're very cool, thank you for showing off my city! And the reason why it was empty is the area you were in is mostly the business area. If you went over to Midtown, Paseo or Bricktown, you'd see plenty of people.
The film gods have blessed us with a bountiful harvest today. A grainydays video and it is 1,5 hours long 🙏
This is one of the most incredible projects that i've ever seen in the internet. Thanks Jason, i'm truly pleased enjoying this. A hug from Argentina!
Watching videos like these is what reminded me of my passion for photography, I started a yt channel just yesterday & can't wait to do so much. Love the video!
Last night, I fell asleep while watching a RUclips video of a 6x17 portfolio. After a good night's sleep, I woke listening to the last half of your video.
Based on your images and your dialog, I realized that you were taking a photographic journey on Route 66 and were somewhere in Oklahoma. Your were doing something that I have had on my bucket list for years. I have driven on parts of Route 66 through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas but have never driven the entire route from Chicago to Santa Monica.
After I finished watching the last half of your video and then watched the first half. I was disappointed that your journey did not start in Chicago. Why did you start in Kansas?
Based on your journey, I have decided to take my Leica M6 with 21/35/90mm lenses and my Fuji GSW690 with fixed 65mm wide-angle lens. I will use the two rangefinders for black & white images and I will carry a Fuji APS-C weather resistant digital mirrorless with weather resistant 16-55mm f/2.8 zoom lens for color images.
By the way, at first I thought your images where nice travel snapshots but after watching the entire 1 1/2 hour video, I have come to the conclusion that many of your images would make a wonderful coffee-table photo book.
"Sometimes everyone around you is wrong." Words to live by.
Thank you! Being 1.5 hours late for work to see Baxter, Caleb and that other guy was totally worth it!
I'm a big fan of toilet shots, abandoned gas stations and old signs but also a very big fan of Baxter 🥰
Just what this week needed, enough grain to fill a silo.
Heck yeah. I love long form content and would love to continue to see these longer videos! Looks like an exhausting trip but definitely some amazing photos throughout!
Bravo Jason - this was awesome on so many levels. I can’t wait for the IMAX version. Congrats on a huge success.
A trick you might try is what I do in the small towns;. I have a press badge as a free lance photographer. I put on my uniform of a photo vest and hat with the badge. It's amazing how it opens doors and gets you to places you wouldn't ordinarily get to. Also the folks see the badge and love to talk about their town. I have also gotten free beer and lunches on occaision..
There is something therapeutic about watching an hour and a half of your videos instead of editing my own. Thank you. All sarcasm aside, I genuinely enjoyed the longer video.
Nowadays, growing away from binge watching photography videos, you're the one I click on a new video immediately
Edit: I just realised this video is 1h30, thank you
Love the abandoned building theme. It would be cool to see if you could tie in some of the history of the buildings, who lived there etc from the locals :)
A shame Velvia wasn't mentioned. It's the best film for greens under bright sunlight, bright days in autumn or sunset
(Im commenting as I watch...) As a Norwegian I'm used to just green landscapes and forests. Im so envious of deserts like this. They look so nice!
This was a fantastic video! I also drove across the country with a good friend in the middle of covid. Stoped at some of the same spots, and this video reminded me of a lot of those awesome memories. Great work and I hope you make more like these again.
45:02 for the sound clip you'll need everytime you say "T MAX"
Jason your long videos are literally my favorite thing to watch
This is a brilliant way to teach this method for someone who’s learns visually. Well done
I love the way you tell your stories of the "low energy" photo trips (w/ and w/o Caleb). It´s second best thing to going out to shoot myself. Thanks so much for your photography "movie".
Every day jason posts is a good day.
Thanks for the heads up about Retrochrome in the Yashica T4. I've already shot a roll in my T4 that luckily didn't have any issues, but I'll be sticking to manual wind cameras for my Retrochrome needs now.
i didnt know i needed an hour and a half grainydays video but i really needed an hour and a half grainydays video
I'm currently on lockdown because i got the COVID-19, thanks for this video, Jason, truly a lifesaver on this boring lockdown.
On the first day of Melbourne’s 6th lockdown, I’m glad for a feature length video for escapism. Great photos, as always, Jason! I’m having a hard time talking myself out of buying the blue toilet one, so I’d definitely get a copy of a toilet zine.
Got that same blue toilet one and 10/10 don't regret it. literally just hung it up about 30 minutes ago
I also have the blue toilet print. I hung it up above my toilet!
I'm also in Melbourne, at home watching this whilst photoshopping waiting for a covid test result.
I now never need to look inside an abandoned building for the rest of my life. I'm all good man...
I loved the content! Saw the video in three sits. Once interviewed, William Eggleston said to photograph the ugly and he made an art out of it! You guys have some memorable shots of the derelict gas stations and abandoned houses. Plus no vampires in the old wooden houses and abandoned grain silos! I hope some of the hundreds of pictures make it into a photobook! Cheers from Costa Rica!
Resident from OKC here. The city is relatively calm. Bricktown is where you will find enormous amounts of people. Sorry I’m 9 months late to this video. Thank you for including my beautiful city
what an unreal experience watching this was! Made my night
You've really raised the bar with this one.
I loved being able to sit at my boring office job and type away while taking in a theatrical-release length Grainy Days video.
Awesome b
I watched the hell out of this. Loved every second.
Some sick, sick shots in here. Also, Caleb’s camera work is great. Lots of great movement.
Sick in bed and this is all the medicine I need…
i love that you visited the underground tunnels in my home town okc! can't wait to watch this feature length film/count baxter's appearances
I'm down for more movies like this, it's a nice way to relax after work
New to your channel. I’ve now spent more than 4 hours of my life watching your videos. Well done, sir.
Never disappoints. Really enjoyed the long form format, photos were as always incredible, commentary really adds to the scenes, great work. :-)
can’t wait to watch this, loving your content man
epic video! I was wondering how much you edit your photos? the colors on the portra shots look very desaturated. is that overexposure or post developing? I don't remember thinking the same in your previous videos but the photos look very bright (compared to the video)
OKC native here. The reason downtown stays abandoned is due to the lack of stuff to do directly downtown VS other cities. All the spots where people roam are right outside of those areas. Paseo, Plaza, Midtown, Uptown, Capitol Hill, Bricktown, and other areas are popular with locals. If you ever come back through, hit me up and I can show you some amazing local grungy Midwest locations.
“I understand that it’s not for everyone, and sometimes everyone around you is wrong.” Agreed, and words to live by…if you live on a budget.
I find it interesting this focus/emphasis on abandoned buildings. I think they have potential, but I don't think they have enough to offer to only ever go after them. Road trip means new surroundings, means new potential to push yourself, find a new image, but ... don't hate me for saying that abandoned gas station #22 with shattered windows looks almost the same to abandoned gas station #2 with shattered windows....
Dunno if you answered this in a Q&A and my reckless millennial lifestyle has left a gap in my memory or not, but how do you record the ambient audio for your videos? it comes out really clean and I'm not sure if its just good shooting habits or good mic too.
Dude do you see the big ass mic in front of his face?
@@ZeLoShady no.
As far as I can tell from reflections he literally is using phone audio for most of the road trip.
bro its like 99% phone footage lmao
@@benjaminaguilera8097 yeah and? the audio is still better than most smothbrains can manage
Good phone is the main thing. Plus some great compression, but that may be internal
Hell yeah we want more of this travelling videos. So comforting and relaxing. Made me forget about my problems.
Edit: I just read the description, RELEASE THE DIRECTOR CUT NOW.
The amount of work you putted in this video is just astonishing. It's great to see this kind of content on RUclips.
I thought I'd love it. I really tried hard to like this.
I don't. Just a bunch of people with lots of money taking images that are under-saturated or showing really badly colours (blues and yellows looks just so bad) and using Leica's, and other kind of super expensive machines not the regular user would..... man I'm sorry is not personal but I really not enjoyed this and seing a bunch of destroyed buildings, I'm sure there's way more in Route 66 to shoot at. Not a fan. And I have tried but, nope, not my thing.
What a awesome photo journey. I hope to run 66 one day. Thanks for sharing!!
The thing about a hour and a half grainydays video is that it is like that family sized pizza you order for yourself. It can last for days and you can keep coming back for more.
This video is awesome. Your ability to shoot quality photos and document the whole thing is incredible and something I'm working better to do. Love the video man 👍
You probably get these comments a lot, but you're videos are very nice to listen to. You've inspired me to work on different types of photography and have helped my thought process on what can and can't be a good picture. Keep being great.
Love the pictures, the trip! Going into abandoned school in Kansas/Oklahoma/any rural site/probably anywhere is some kind of crazy! May the photo gods protect thee! Maybe the offering of xxx number of film roles did the trick for you...thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Long format like these are the best! Thank you 🙌
Watched this whole thing while grading papers. Really love the longer format videos! Looking forward to more
I’m going to do exactly that tomorrow!😊
So glad you stayed at the place with 100% refrigerated air (54:40). I hate those motels with only 50% air!
Wow! This was a great video! Thanks for putting it out. I definitely would like to see the longer format videos. This was great! Great work. 👍
Oh, boy, we're in for a treat. Also, yes, I'm down for the slice of photography life theme.
I love these longer videos but i actually also love binge watching the short ones haha please continue with both!
I started watching your videos when my daughter was born.. 10months ago. I would be up late washing bottles and feeding her and the hour long ones were my go to. Now I just watch them to waste time but yea they’re good, some of my favorites. I guess you can say you were feeding me
Amazing trip and images. Thanks for sharing.
That was really cool, nice choice of musics too!
Just discovered this RUclips channel. Love the content and definitely love the one liners! Hysterical
An hour-thirty of Jason and his taller stunt double 🤤 I'm firing up the projector for this one!
loved this. thanks for taking us along the entire journey. i thoroughly enjoyed it
I am truly a fan of your art. I hope you continue to be yourself and to allow your art to speak larger questions such as;. beauty and free thinking in the world of time and reflection. Great Job!
Awesome video! Watched it in 3 stints on my break at work, really inspiring stuff!! If only the UK had that many abandoned Gas stations and motels
Eyyy another big boy video. I love these because I watch them over the course of a couple days. Then, within a week or two, I forget a bunch of what was in the video so I get to watch it again, haha. I've probably watched your Iceland video like 10 times at this point. New photos jump out at me each time.
Another one for the favorites folder.
10:56, when your jupiter lens is the same colour as the actual jupiter
1 1/2 hours of your beauty? What have we done to deserve this
I liked the Ektar in the sun. Gives me old time California-esque vibes.
