Final Cancer Update / Solidarity for Vuhlandes and The Photo Dept.

- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2024
- The news regarding Vulhandes and Chris from The Photo Dept. cancer diagnoses hit me hard, but also reminded me of the kindness this community showed me in my time of need, and I figured I'd try to do what I can for both of them by getting the word out and potentially getting more community members involved.

If you decide to join in shaving your head and would like a copy of my cancer diary please email me a picture to willysheepskin@gmail.com , instagram story tags and dms would be rad too, but with regards to the cancer diary it'd be easiest for me to email you a link.
Thank you kindly!
you are an incredible human and Im so glad we've had the chance to connect. I can't tell you what this gesture means to me.
You too are incredible my friend, your bravery in the face of this is monumental, and I'll be around every step of the way if you need anything. I look forward greatly to meeting up at some point in the future and musing about past challenges and future adventures. You've got this.
Woah man. I’m just seeing this and want to start off by saying congratulations to you and so happy you’re in good health. Tears in my eyes watching this entire video and I needed to seee it . I love the solidarity and support. I love you brother and this community. I’m speechless really this is something I never expected. You are a light brother love
I'm so glad to hear it made an impact man, and extremely glad to be in touch and around now if you need any advice. You've got this though, and the community is going to be here throughout! All the love to you in return
You're a kind and beautiful soul, William. ❤
Thank you kindest of fish, I think the same of you

My Wife passed in December from cancer. I offered to shaved my head and she was like hell no. She got the whole solidarity thing but at the same time was like why in the world would you do that if you don't have to. She was also worried about the whole losing her hair thing but got over it. Glad you are clear, stupid cancer.
I'm so so sorry for your loss Jose. Fuck cancer. It sounds like your wife had a wonderful logical mind, cus I suppose in many ways it doesn't really make sense. I think my perspective was kind of shaped through hair donation drives in high school, and I remember a teacher being diagnosed once and other teachers shaving their heads and the way it seemed to me was that when the students saw the teacher going through treatment it was less of an "sick teacher" thing and more of a "bald teacher club" thing, if that makes sense.
In some kind of deep irony for the duration of this channel my hair has been informed by cancer too, since I grew it out long to donate, and then I think just over a month after I donated it I myself was diagnosed which was wild. Hadn't ever really thought of it that way until now but I suppose the experience in school must've had a lasting effect haha.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this video, again I'm so sorry for your loss, we don't know each other at all but if you'd ever like to vent or just chat about daily life then you are more than welcome to get in touch, I'll be there.
So great to see this gesture of solidarity. I followed your cancer story at the beginning after having been a regular viewer of your photography videos. Godspeed to you, William. Best wishes from London.
Thank you so much Webster! It's been a long road that I'm glad to be on the other side of now, and having folks like you along for the journey was a massively important part! Best wishes to London from stormy Cape Town haha, jealous of the fact that you're going to start heading into summer now as things cool down here!
We're so lucky to be living in an era with a plethora of effective diagnosing, treatment and prevention options. Wishing strength and health to every one. ❤
We are indeed Chris! My biggest takeaway from all the talks with doctors over the last few years has been how treatable they regard the illness now due to advancements in medical technologies and understandings. They made it feel a lot more like treating anything else than some of the media output on it makes it seem, which I found to be a great help and encouragement. Strength and health to you too!
The film comunity holding togheteer like this, with you at the forefront is amazing.
Thank you for what you do and the inspiration you bring to others.
Thank you so much Bianca! The community really is one of the greatest parts of the analog experience, I don't think I've ever seen the camaraderie that the joy of old cameras can create in people elsewhere!
I am very happy to hear you are OK.
Thank you kindly Hannes!
when i saw his video the first person i thought of is you... i only follow about 3 photographers on youtube thesedays so i couldn't believe i was hearing this again, and also to hear though this video another photographer has cancer.... can't help but wonder whats going on... but im so happy to hear you're all clear and looking in great spirits
It really was wild seeing both of their diagnoses, Chris's one put me in a state of shock that I had to process for a bit and then Vuhlandes on top of that shocked me out of that state and into realising that I had to do something to pay forward the kindness I was shown through my journey. I'm in very great spirits thanks to this community and the help of friends!
Thank you, William, for this beautiful initiative of support to our fellow humans!❤❤❤
It has been a hard journey for you and I am soooo happy you are thriving and walking a positive and healthy path !❤❤❤
I am sending lots of strength and encouragement to your friends , may they recover and be well! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Judith!
This was a sweet gesture Will! All this cancer news in the film community is terrible to hear but it’s so nice to see how we can all band together to help each other when needed!📸🎞
Thanks Reimann, the news is indeed far from good, but the response from the community was a massive part of improving my outlook and being able to pay i forward now this seemed like the most logical thing to do!
Stay strong and thanks for showing solidarity
Always! Thanks for being part of the community!
I was an infrequent visitor on your channel (once in a few months), but that changed once you told us about your cancer. I wanted to you know you were doing well and was checking quite often. Glad you're well, and I hope the Vulhandes and Chris have a good recovery.
Thanks for being a visitor at all Jeswin, I appreciate your thoughts throughout my journey and look forward to catching you around here going forward! They're both warriors and will come out on top of this I'm sure
This is beautiful, sorry to hear about your experience and glad you are doing well. This community of photographers is amazing, I’ve learned so much from y’all. I’ve donated to Vulhandes and bought a bunch of his presets today. The balds welcome you to the tribe. ✌🏼❤️📸
Thank you so much for your wonderful support! The community is the greatest part of the analog scene for sure, and I am honoured to be a member of the bald tribe!
Congrats Will! I just discovered your channel and I’m so so happy for you
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you've stumbled upon things haha!
Ive never personally had cancer, but my father has three times, and my best friend once. Bot of whom had to face permanent changes to their body. So while I have never had it, I know how it makes ME feel when I hear someone has it. I can't imagine the feelings it must bring up for you. Big fan of this and all your videos.
I reckon that the people surrounding me went through just as much if not more on an emotional level than I did, so I empathise greatly with you.
Honestly for the longest time I got lost and resigned in being upset about what it did to me physically, but by pure serendipity a good friend of mine called Jono ended up moving in next door to me at the beginning of the year and he's a fitness nut and has dragged me out of my shell in a way that I wouldn't have managed otherwise. I mean there are some things I can't regain through exercise, but it's improved my outlook monumentally since having someone alongside me to drag me out of the frustration with how weak I'd become and celebrate small victories made all the difference.
It's kind of wild since the advice throughout was to be as active as possible but when it was in my own hands I'd reach a point and then accept that it was my new limit, whereas Jono has consistently provided a means to surpass limits without being pushy about it, and I'm finally feeling somewhat normal as a result. There are of course elements of the surgery and chemo that are likely to hang around permanently (missing bits, nerve damage, and my stamina still isn't the greatest) but I've been shocked by how just the act of trying to get fitter has made me feel mentally like things are being accomplished at least.
Thanks so much for your comment Ryan, and I send all my kindest wishes to your Father and best friend, they're legends.
Wonderful news about your health, and I wish your friends the very best of luck in their treatment. You are, without doubt, a very kind soul ❤
Thank you so much David! Just trying to pay forward the kindness shown to me! All the best to you and yours in return!
Well said. Well done. Thank you Will. Cancer has touched so many of us in so many ways 😢.
Thanks so much Justin. I hope you and yours are getting along marvellously, your support and anecdotes through my journey was invaluable, and something I will never forget. Hoping to continue paying it forward however I can in the future.
@@willysheepskin Everything looks different on the other side of monumental struggle, doesn’t it? What of God’s punishments isn’t a gift? (Be a person spiritually inclined or not-that phrase has kinda stuck with me). Cheers 😊!
Lost a friend just a month ago to cancer ...
Thank you for this step and bringing this community closer together.
My shiny head will be in your emails (even though I'm already bald... but I would like to be a part of this)
🐑🐑🐑🐑
I'm so sorry for your loss Simon. Fuck cancer. I can't imagine what you and your friend went through, but I'm around if you need someone to talk to. I also look forward greatly to seeing your shiny head.
What a human being! Thanks for shedding light on this, Willy!
Cheers AJ! You still rocking the long hair? hehehe
@willysheepskin I am, and I was meaning to hit you up to ask about where to donate the hair and a couple more questions regarding the process of donating it, harking back to one of the first conversations I had with you I guess years ago at this point
Congratulations, knew you'd smash it!!!
Many thanks George, the support from the community was a big part of it!
Happy you are all clear Will! You tha man! * Edit: I have lost my dad to cancer, as well as two of my grandfathers who outlived my dad. They both had cancer too. The moment I started a project about them I suddenly see it everywhere and it is so confronting. I know this is not about me. But man... I hate that disease... I just wish it on no one... The pain and hurt it brings. Despite we never met, truly happy you are all clear now Will...
Thank you kindly Cristian! No you tha man!
I’m already bald, so it doesn’t count for much here unfortunately! It is great to see all the support Chris, and Vuhlandes are receiving. Always amazing to see a community come together. Also happy to see you are still doing well, and for you to step forward and be a very vocal supporter for them both speaks greatly to your character.
Here is hoping for positive outcomes all around.
Well I'm honoured to be a member of the bald club now at least haha! It would have felt strange not to try do my part for them given how much support I received through my journey. Thank you for your kind words Jarrett, and for your support of community!
You're an absolute legend William ❤
As are you sir for being a member of this wonderful community!
Another safe and effective journey. Best of luck dude.
Thank you Paul!
You're a great person, William. Thanks for the update and the demonstration of solidarity. Sending love to you and the others.
Amazing support brother! #sheepsquadsuppportgroup
Respect brother Respect! ♥️
Respect to you kind Sreeku!
Thats good to see the community together like this!!! Salutee to u for doing this
Salute to you for being the unofficial mascot of this channel with your legendary first comment streaks my friend!
This is great to see, times like these are when I wish I didn’t rock a shaved head constantly so that it would be more impactful than just growing it out for a month or two to be able to shave it down.
Ahh so you're just in constant solidarity amigo! Send me a mail anyway if you don't mind, would love to see your shiny noggin
Hell yeah Will! Glad you are all clear and ready for the next chapter!❤ Awesome gesture by doing this video.
Dude this is crazy... Ya'll are soldiers... It seems like more and more men before 40 are getting diagnosed with some type of cancer. Thanks for sharing updates about your health, and s/o for the solidarity you're showing. I'm sure it means a lot to them!
It's really crazy how prevalent it seems to be. The amount of people that have reached out experiencing similar things throughout all this has been really eye opening. Kind of makes me wonder if theres going to be a documentary someday about some kind of everyday substance that ends up having been disastrous or something. Thanks Etienne, I very much hope that it can mean something to them!
Tbh the shave looks badass
I love your channel! But you will beat this! Keep on keep on! Don’t stress about the balding! You look great man!
Cheers! I'm all good though thankfully, all clear at the moment! The bald maneuver is in support of Chris and Vuhlandes who got diagnosed recently, thank you so much for the support though!
That's so so nice of you Will!
You look beautiful like that and your voice is very nice.
This is the first time I watch a video of yours . So many young people diagnosed with cancer, it's scary.
Happy you ' ve been given the all clear,take care of yourself,eat right and exercise everyday!
Each day I tell myself how lucky I am to be healthy, because I've known and taken care of relatives who died of cancer.
Wish you all the best
such a crush on you, sighh
I'm so happy you're healthy!
Ahh I'm so flattered! Thank you! I am also exceptionally glad to be healthy haha, it took longer than I wanted but the community was there for me through it all!
you look incredibly handsome with a shaved head and more importantly thank you for sharing.
Love it !
Congrats!
Thank you kindly
🙏
❤
❤️❤️❤️
So many young RUclipsrs getting it
It seems to have become a prevalent thing worldwide somehow, I wondered if it was a frequency illusion type situation where I just became more aware of it because of being more aware in a personal capacity, but it really does seem like a lot of folks are getting diagnosed these days.
Good on you Will!
Good on you Kevin! I'm just trying to pay forward the kindness you and so many others showed me!
Blessings bro 👊🏽
Blessings to you in return!
🙏🏽
🙌🙌
❤️🔥

...Oh, I hate to admit, I kind of assumed Vuhlandes' vid was April Fool's clickbait. Oof... Thank you for this video of solidarity and, well, education in that regard. I'd seen Chris' vid and diagnosis already. I'll go back and watch V's in a minute. Afraid I'm not in a position where I feel comfortable shaving my hair, nor even a position to offer financial support considering I'm on verge of homelessness. Nonetheless, I'm hopeful that both of these wonderful guys seems to have excellent medical professionals working with them, and hope that with the outpouring of support from the community, they'll be able to weather their coming storms.
Ah yes I can see how the date could've interfered with perceptions, but it is unfortunately very real. No need to apologise for not being in a head shaving position, or financial support either, everyone is on their own journey through life at the end of the day, just wanted to get the word out there in case there are folks who watch my things who are in a position to partake! I reckon your kindness and level headedness are a grand asset going forward in life, and your support simply by being a member of this community and being part of the discussion and vocalising support is more than enough. Thank you so much
Hairless and still gorgeous.... Kind and also kind of amazing ❤❤❤... I hope you get lots of bald (lol....that autocorrected to balls) photos in your inbox!!!
Ahahahah please only bald photos, please
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha
This is a lovely gesture. But it also gives me PTSD about my own cancer. I have to switch off this video.
I'm very sorry for what you've had to go through John, sending you only the best of wishes
Hello, how are you doing? I came across this fundraising campaign. Are you the organizer of this fundraising campaign?
Willy!!
Pain!!!
What kind of cancer do they have?
I've linked both of their channels in the description, they do a much better job of explaining their circumstance in their latest videos than I reckon I could in a comment here, definitely worth giving both a watch

从mamihya7ii认识到你的频道，祝你好运，我的朋友
Thank you so much! Fun mamiya 7 story; a friend of mine bought one for $120 this past week, when I heard about it I nearly fainted, it's the best deal I've ever heard of anyone getting on one of them!
@@willysheepskin 120$？？？？？？？ WTF
This is beautiful william
Many thanks kind pie! I feel it's the least I can do with how supported I was by people through my illness, and it's amazing watching people come together again now
Class act! Have you considered starting a band with @WillemVerb and @mattdayphoto and call it Wholesome Boys..?
Thank you kindly! Also I've given it some thought but I'm not sure how much of a market there is for three dudes playing the triangle hey ahah
