I cannot tell you how much of a fanboy I have become with every video of Nick! Everything he speaks is invaluable. This is premium content from a higher grade human. That is all I can say
I think you dismissed those c220 shots a bit too lightly. That shot of broken handset is fantastic. It could be used as a methaphor for so many things: Urban decay, not listening to history, leaving someone hanging. Brilliant!
Or the dominance of cell phones where the pay phone is becoming a relic and a broken handset isnt even worth fixing anymore. Great work as usual Nick thanks
@@nickcarverphoto I agree with the analogy you used in the video. These are the sprinkles on the top. These are the B roll, the embellishments that help to tell the story

"Paying attention to how the different layers of the building move..." There're so many good and instructive observations within this segment. It's really worth watching more than once.
I definitely enjoy these on location videos, they're not getting stale at all. I also like to listen to your thought process with the emphasis on composition as well as the troubles you go through, it's humbling. Keep up the great work and all the best!
I see a Nick Carver video pop up in my feed, I click the "Like" button and watch the video I-MEE-JET-LY! Specifically LOVE your videos like this, where you've driven by a building and decide to photograph it. I enjoy hearing your thought process behind what attracted you to a scene/building, listening to your strategy in terms of composition and exposure. I felt your pain to the core of my soul, when the truck was parked in your composition. Happens to me ALL the time. On the east coast, you can drive by a building or structure on a Monday, come back the following week to shoot it, and demolition will have already started and/or the property will be fenced off. Point being, the old adage is true, 'If you want to shoot it, best to do it today!'
I know this an old video -- I've watched it several times now, and again tonight. I really dig your photography. I hope you don't get discouraged if youtube's views aren't as lucrative as they perhaps once were. I think it's a bigger issue than just your channel, and your content is awesome.
I always enjoy the architectural shoots, and yes I would buy the book. Your vision on these buildings encourages many of us to look at these everyday structures in a new light. I know my vision of the structures around me has changed.
How could someone ever get bored of your photography on location? It's always so good to watch and your insights are so precious ! Can't wait for your book to come out.
Wonderful episode, Nick. I am certainly not getting tired of these compositions and all your thoughts that go into these shots. Thanks for taking us along with you. Looking forward to the book.
Aren’t we all ya boyz...? And I I like the square shots-but I’m more wired for smaller, intimate peeks over great giant wideness. Excellent as always, thanks!
It's a gift to make the mundane seem utterly fascinating. This composition of the Post Office defines your style in my opinion. So many emotions and associations to unpack. The tri-x pictures really add to the story and I would like to see more public spaces/ utility type photographs.
That is a funky looking post office. It looks like it may have been a clothing store in a former life. I especially like some of the names of businesses in the background such as "Private Sneakers" & "Huntington Ramen"! LOL!
No, Nick, we are not getting tired of these videos. In fact, of all the videos that pop up in my feed, I always make sure I watch yours! Keep it up and I look forward to that book.
Really enjoyable Nick. I don't mean to poke fun at misfortune but it is always entertaining to see your reaction when a truck is in the way, or cars, or a pile of tires, etc.
When I see one of your on location videos drop, I get as excited as when a movie trailer I have been waiting for is released. I honestly love watching these videos and they dont drop too frequently, making them all the more special when they do. Keep doing what yo do man we love your work.
I think you going out shooting one-off buildings is why most of us are here. Loved the church/7-11 juxtaposition, there's poetry in that what with both being open around the clock. Good stuff, cheers.
I started laughing as soon as I saw the truck in the photo. It truly is a reoccurring theme made worse by the fact you get up extra early to drive to the location to time the light. I think every photographer can well relate. Every time I try for star trails, rain, fog or clouds roll on in. You greatly under rated your black and whites. Love them!
Best RUclips's out there by far, informative, humorous, inelegant, so all I can say is thanks Nick and above all else keep them coming, excellent work.
Great video! Really like how the building is framed and the fact that the sky is 90% empty, with no other buildings behind the post office that are visible.
Book. Yes! Pre-ordering now. I know it may be a while, but the wait, the anticipation, the expectation will be more than worth it. I put you alongside Julius Shulman, an architectural photography favorite. An important component is your good humor that makes these exceptional.
Thanks for this man, it’s always inspiring to watch you make photos. And to hear what they mean to you is also something I never thought about. Thank you for the sprinkles at the end, I thought they were rather delicious!
Lots of fun as usual. These posts have so much extra than just technical photography; with personal talking things through which Nick does. It's always a satisfying journey.
Nick..I just binge watched most of your Photography on Location vids..I have no idea how to use your type of gear, but I've learned so much from your process of setting up each and every shot..I hope many more digital shooters discover your channel and learn that there is more to photography than just snap,snap. snap and hope...you are a true artist...thanks !
As an "advanced amateur" (i.e. dilettante) photographing old buildings is NOT my thing at all, but your enthusiasm is infectious. You come out with that book and I hereby pledge I'll buy it.
Nicely done, glad things worked out in the end man. And you don't need "Boys" or "Video Games" when you have an audience like us... amiright? eh....ehhhh? Okay. Awesome work as usual Nick, can't wait for the next one.
I spent this video thinking, oh man, if I was there I would have to photograph that phone booth, the newspaper stands etc, as they are cool details. I wonder if nick photographs them as well. They would be cool additions, but maybe not as photos on there own, but alongside the main shot would just allow someone to have a closer look as their curiosity pulls them. Then in the last 30 secs, just like Ron Jeremy, you pull out the money shot. Great video
Hello again brother. As usual, a cool, exciting adventure into the urban jungle. I like what you did here, but I agree... it needs a more exciting sky. I may be spoiled tho... we've been having some epic sunrises and sunsets up here. I hope all is well my man, until next time.
Great way to end the week with a Nick Carver On Location. Great shot of the post office, and I really like the 6x6 shot of the broken pay phone handset
Another banger of a video Nick. It’s interesting to see what sorts of unexpected routines people follow. I’m sure it’s annoying to have a shot possibly, or just flat out ruined, by trucks or other unplanned intrusions though. Glad this time it all fell into place. Even got a second shot as a bonus, even if perhaps you one day feel like you want to retake it. Keep on keeping on bruv
hey man, great content - ALWAYS. Found your channel with the video you did on building the sleeping platform and have not left since. Film photography reminds me of my dad - when I was a kid (LONG ago) we used to go out and shoot pictures then develop our prints together. Much of what you do, and how you do it, reminds me of those days - Thanks for that. And, hey, sounds like you’re a hockey fan - so you must be a great guy!
Another really well constructed video, no click bait (hurrah!) with lots of good explanation of your thought processes. As for me, I seem to have caught the bug somewhat and recently managed some large format portraits of an eccentric man with his various cars with just FOUR visits to actually achieve the results I wanted.
Hey brother! Love it how you’re documenting all the shoots to then lead up to a book eventually. I miss the fluorescent vest, so no one asks questions when your shooting building 😅 awesome Vid!
Thank you! And I definitely should have worn a vest. I got honked at by someone and heckled by a couple of chicks who obviously hadn’t been to bed yet from the night before.
Thanks for sharing, Nick. Also, I found that sunlight skimming the face of a building can show huge amount of texture and detail. Planning and timing and patience is all part of the joy of photography that only we know.
Great series of photo, Nick! I like the first pano more than the second photo and I think the black and white images at the end complement the story of this location very well. Good luck for your book, it's definitely something I would be interested to buy. I can imagine a large coffee table book in the style of Thomas Mangelsen's The Natural World, with the binding on the large side. Nothing to do with the photos, but it was nice to see at the beginning of the video that you also have a turntable ;-)
It would be fantastic if you published a book! I love these on location videos! I also appreciate your excellent technical combined with artistic teaching, so hopefully that book will be in stone style of one of Ansel Adam’s books.
Nick! Hello 👨🏻! Good sir always a pleasure to see a video of yours. Thanks for inspiring me through these years to get out take trips and take photos for myself and my own happiness.
I cannot tell you how much of a fanboy I have become with every video of Nick! Everything he speaks is invaluable. This is premium content from a higher grade human. That is all I can say
You are too kind, my friend. Thank you very much!
I couldn't agree more.
This day immediately got better!
I agree
I don’t think I’ve ever gasped in excitement after seeing a video in my sub box before haha
Correct!
Just poured myself a Cuba Libre and this notification popped up. The large format gods are blessing me today.
Even fate appropriates a Nick Carver video....
a Bryan comment just upped the street cred of this video ten fold!.

Agreed. The broken handset photo is outstanding.
Yeah those shot are all pretty good!
@@nickcarverphoto I agree with the analogy you used in the video. These are the sprinkles on the top. These are the B roll, the embellishments that help to tell the story
Nick Carver: goes out on location shoot
Truck drivers: "aight Imma head out"
From an italian eye: the best shot IMHO is the BW 6x6 of the Post Office "Fullerton California 92834" . Very iconic, it screams America!
Never get tired of these Nick. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The truck made the story much better 😂 So it wasn't all bad luck, in a way...
A new on location video descending like a gift from the gods!!! Just what I needed today
And I bequeath unto thee a video of me photographing a post office. Basically as important as the Ten Commandments.
@@nickcarverphoto
1. Though shalt shoot all buildings centred and straight on 😁
2. See commandment 1

@@nickcarverphoto definitely not; fresh as a daisy 👌🏻
The Tri-X photos would accent the pano nicely in a book! I’m inspired to photograph my little city, strictly to freeze time.. awesome video Nick
Between familytime and a long workweek on various tv productions, there is a nick carver video, my weekend just even better!
When you saw the truck parked in the parking lot....your expression!!! My most memorable moment on RUclips in so long.

I started watching videos on this channel and surprisingly I cannot stop. Keep making them please
I love those square b&w photos!
The look are your face when you saw that truck...priceless.
love the contrast of the palm tree with the cell tower.
Great juxtaposition of the cross and the convenience store, especially with me watching on a Sunday morning.
I'm so happy to see another on location video again. THIS SERIES IS SERIOUSLY THE BOMB
Thank you!
I always enjoy the architectural shoots, and yes I would buy the book. Your vision on these buildings encourages many of us to look at these everyday structures in a new light. I know my vision of the structures around me has changed.
It's always a treat when you post a Photography On Location video
Watching new video from Nick Carver, at 23:33 in Spain 🤟
Anyone else reserving this guy's videos for the right time of the week? Gosh...I love this kind of content.
How could someone ever get bored of your photography on location? It's always so good to watch and your insights are so precious ! Can't wait for your book to come out.
From early on in the video I hoped you'd use the Mamiya to shoot that dangling phone horn. Satisfied now :-)
Wonderful episode, Nick. I am certainly not getting tired of these compositions and all your thoughts that go into these shots. Thanks for taking us along with you. Looking forward to the book.
Never get tired of your one off building shoots :) oh! That truck you nailed anyway and love those b&w photos at the end telling the rest of the story
Aren’t we all ya boyz...? And I I like the square shots-but I’m more wired for smaller, intimate peeks over great giant wideness.
Excellent as always, thanks!
His videos have been sorely missed!!!

I really appreciate this, thank you
So much to take into account, no one could ever accuse you of just taking 'snaps'... Thank you for another entertaining and enlightening 20 minutes.
Walker Evans never had a problem shooting a building head on, full frontal. You are in good company my man. Drive on!
Excellent photo trip 👍😀
Church makes the 7/11 shot 👍
It must take lots of planning to arrange for those trucks! 😅
That is a funky looking post office. It looks like it may have been a clothing store in a former life. I especially like some of the names of businesses in the background such as "Private Sneakers" & "Huntington Ramen"! LOL!
I drive by that post office every single day and have never once thought of shooting photos of it hahaha
Never getting tired of these videos, never stop.. never. stop. Okey thanks ❤️
I didn't see it until I saw the photograph. And I loved the 'pretentious' part because it's true.
No, Nick, we are not getting tired of these videos. In fact, of all the videos that pop up in my feed, I always make sure I watch yours! Keep it up and I look forward to that book.
I'm not going to be tired of these videos... as long as you have that red-orange jacket. ;)
16:48 the that reflect’s on the parking spot si awesome
I knew it, the face @8.28. There's a truck in the way. I just knew it LOL! Great content dude, love it.

Can’t get enough of on location of buildings with the 6x17
Thank god for that! I was starting to get Nick Carver withdrawal symptoms. Great work as always mate.
Sorry man, at 8:37 when the truck was there I burst out laughing. You set it up well for your batting average! Despite the obstacle, great photos.
Best RUclips's out there by far, informative, humorous, inelegant, so all I can say is thanks Nick and above all else keep them coming, excellent work.
Never get tired. Will for shure by that book! Regards from Germany

Never pre-order anything.
Nick is the chef John of photography
Come on man! Your Videos photographing panoramas of buildings are the most satisfying photography videos on youtube. I will never get tired of these!
Thanks for this man, it’s always inspiring to watch you make photos. And to hear what they mean to you is also something I never thought about. Thank you for the sprinkles at the end, I thought they were rather delicious!
Thank you, sir!
Another poetic and entertaining video wrapped with some beautiful images. Good work Nick. Bravo.
Lots of fun as usual. These posts have so much extra than just technical photography; with personal talking things through which Nick does.
It's always a satisfying journey.
Looking forward to the book! I think all these individual images are going to be even more impressive when viewed as part of a larger body of work.
That image of the sunrise on the video looked like it could have made a nice composition.
Another Nick Carver adventure!!! Love it!!! Keep em coming brother!
Awesome work, Nick!! I quite liked both of the Post Office photos, and I probably can't pick a favourite. I also enjoyed the Mamiya shots.
Made my day seeing a Nick Carver post!
Nick..I just binge watched most of your Photography on Location vids..I have no idea how to use your type of gear, but I've learned so much from your process of setting up each and every shot..I hope many more digital shooters discover your channel and learn that there is more to photography than just snap,snap. snap and hope...you are a true artist...thanks !

Haha. True. I got boyz all over the world in RUclips land.
You and Todd Hido are the best at capturing the atmosphere of lonely buildings imo. You inspired me to change my style so thank you for that!
Epic WHY when seeing that truck!
Good work. Definitely not bored with your on location videos. Looking forward to the next one and to hearing more about the book!
Brilliant...exactly why we came to like watching Nick Carver 🤘🏻 we used to live on Chapman Avenue in Scotland.
Not sick of it at all! Love it when my boiiiii Nicky C uploads a video 😁

Nick Carver video makes any day a good day. Thanks man.
5:21 man, oh man, do I love those opposing lines in the bottom of the frame though...
Keep going with this theme, its the planning, explanation and the lead up to the final shot that is interesting.
Great way to end the week with a Nick Carver On Location. Great shot of the post office, and I really like the 6x6 shot of the broken pay phone handset
The first part reminds me of Mr Rogers neighborhood show! Good stuff

Your channel is one of the very few that I will actually watch full screen!
That post office is really cool! Also take my money because I would totally buy that book you were talking about
This is by far my favorite photography series here on yt. Cheers, Nick, thanks for another video!
So happy when I came across this
Not getting tired. Keep em coming.
Stunning video Nick, I really like your fantastic work, best regards from Italy.
