By chance I met Deeno at Gagosian’ Gallery in Beverly Hills and noticed his nonchalant demeanor as he talked with prominent collectors and overheard him utter your name, I smiled thinking this young guy represents John Free well!
I'm so glad to find out I'm not the only one who loves to photograph automobiles in an abstract way. Some of my favorite photos are close-ups of engine parts that I took while working in the garage with my fiance. You are truly an inspiration!
Could listen to you all day, glad to see you back John!
Hi John ! a pleasure to see you. Thank's a lot. From France.
These are great images, John. Wonderful compositions and color palettes.
Thank you Daniel. The photos seem to make themselves.
a big thanks from me, a learner from Vietnam.
Great video and an absolute pleasure to have met you in Madrid, John!
It's so good that you are back. You have played a critical part in my early film education and continual motivation. You are very well-spoken and a greater teacher:)
My day couldn't have started better
Nice to see more of you.
Thank you Deeno. I shed a tear of joy.
Great video. I've been taking photos of cars recently and this will inspire me to look much closer at the details. There's a lot of vintage cars here in the UK and I love the rust.
You're the reason I started shooting film, John! Keep doing what you do. I hope to attend a seminar one day! (Canada is a long way from where you are)
Hey John and Deeno,
Back to watch this again... reminds me the importance of contemplation. Thank you. I really hope we have more videos to watch and rewatch this year.
I'm learning from you Sir and Improving. Thank you so much for sharing your Wisdom.
I really love this channel. You focus on the “life”, on the “craft” of capturing moments and not the gear. This is something rare and something that is really needed on the internet where most people seem to only care about the fanciest gear. I’ve only watched a few of your videos so far, but learned more than I ever learned from any other RUclips channels. I really look forward to your future videos.
Quoting Henri Cartier-Bresson, “Photography is nothing, it is life that interests me”.
Wishing you all the very best from Mauritius, Mr Free. Cheers!
Thank you Dheevesh. I hope someone will take my advice and purchase a 35mm S.L.R. camera made in Japan from EBAY for $150.00 or less. Very fine optics and rugged construction will enable anyone to have great equipment. The eye and heart are more important that high priced cameras.
John Free I agree, sir. Unfortunately, in Mauritius (small island nation the size of London with a population of about one million), there is no way to have film developed anymore. I’ve reached out to several photo labs by looking up their numbers up from our old photo albums: they have all completely stopped the film development process. The solutions used in the development process are no longer sold in the country either.
As of me, I am 19, taking photos as a hobby since I was 13. Of course, I do so with the resources available to me. It is people like you, focussed more on the craft and less on the tools, who inspire me.
@@dheevesh16 I understand your problem. I hope you will still be able to enjoy your photography. Thank you for your friendship.
Hey John,
Been watching your videos for a while, as an old timer expat living in South East Asia.
Your love and passion for photography, for cars, and the many people that you make images of, really inspires me to try and see things as you do. So thank you John and of course Dino
for wonderful content. Have a wonderful 2019.
regards Ian
Fascinating John - many thanks to you both for making these videos. The picture at 6:15 is extraordinary!

Hi John, thank you so much for this video. I haven't seen a video from you for a while and was getting worried about you. Glad to see your still doing videos. Thank you for your unique teaching style, it is such a breath of fresh air.

2:55 Crazy time consuming, but necessary. I had the fender of my stupid little car painted by a friend. I then bolted it back on, but now there was a big gap between the hood and fender. I never could set it completely straight...
Nice images John. I love your content, very thought provoking and inspirational 😎
What is your go to lens on your F3?

John Free very nice. I use a Voigtlander 40mm f2 on my F3
Hey Joe. Mostly the 55mm 2.8 micro.
Photography is like Wrigley's gum for the brain to chew on it... Hehehe
