Also loooove that quote - "Being a photographer is a solitary quest because you have to be given the ability to follow your instincts and not worry about where the instincts of others will take you." Not sure if that is a mix of Harry and your own quote, but it's so important and needs to be heard.
@@andras_ikladi I resonate with that so much haha. I'm the same way. I remember parts of that from the Harry Gruyaert documentary. I guess I interpreted the quote more as in him not trying to be influenced by the work of others - but maybe it is more of a literal, physical sense of shooting alone.
It’s all him, but one that I do also completely agree with. Shooting with others can be fun, but nothing truly great photography wise comes out of those experiences imo
i saw his books in the background of your videos and started to wonder when a video would come. its a great vid, it's bcs of him i started to take photography seriously. Great job!
More of these “Easter eggs” to come with all videos going forward to broadcast what’s coming next. Cool someone picked up on them. His work is great. I wish I could find more on the man himself, but there wasn’t much personal stuff that I came across.
@@developingtank seems like you found most of the important stuff already (the church part.) fun fact: his dad worked in a film factory and told Harry not to become a photographer because they are always with "girls". He has a documentary: www.thedarkroomrumour.com/en/film/harry-gruyaert-photographer-a-film-by-gerrit-messiaen it's great to see as a fan and also as a non fan
@@matthiasvangysel938 I have to get around to watching the doc. I bought it a while ago, but never want to heavily rely on other videos when making these so that I don’t end up too influenced by their ideas.
Another great video man! I was unfamiliar with his extensive work in Morocco. You should really be affiliate linking these books from the videos in the description - just ordered his Morocco book!
That first bicycle shot in chapter 2. Wow. What to add, what to subtract. Loved how he said it. The beauty of banality. Love that. Sort of the opposite of what happens at the end of the Lord of the Rings. When Frodo gets home, it looks small and sucks. HG got home and thought, "Huh. Okay. I get it now." TV snapshots feels a tiny bit Moriyama. And after Morocco and India, he'd >have< to use color. I totally get it. Great video!
This, with the tweaking of the antenna and so on, feels more intentional than Moriyama's though. I sort of get what Moriyama was trying to convey with his series about the Watergate scandal and it's TV coverage, but on the other hand, I get the feeling that his hand might be doing the 'shutter button twitch' all the time and he just happened to be in front of the TV :D I don't know what to think of Moriyama in general though, it might just be my interpretation. I've been to a show of his and have seen many of his books and magazines, I respect his work but I'm still not quite sure of what to make of him.
Awesome! That’s exactly why I’m doing this channel. I hadn’t heard of him until a couple years ago and couldn’t believe how under appreciated his work is.
@@developingtank it trully is awesome work you ve put into this Street Smarts collection and i am huge fan! Been going through these daily and its been a phenomenal, informative and inspiring journey! Once again, Kudos!
Reminds me, again, of how much more color there was before 1993. I noticed on a short drive the other night how hard it was to see people crossing the street because they were all wearing different shades of grey and black and not crossing at the intersection but that's another story. It didn't used to be that way. Now, wearing too much color is corny for some reason but in the not too distant past it was not so.
Agree with the other comments .... good work. My only critique would be that your pace of speech is a little too quick and i feel like you are hurrying this great content. Or maybe it's my brain just doesn't move as fast as yours 😂
@andras_ikladi This is what I’m going for. I’m sure if you play it at a slightly slower speed it’ll sound fine, since I only use ambient music for the most part. If I go any slower my voice loses any sound of passion and I feel like I’m putting myself and others to sleep. I could easily stretch these videos to 30 minutes, but I’m not trying to waste my time or others and I want to push the idea of how many legends are truly out there as far as possible.
Seriously , this channel deserves more followers !!! The videos are so well put together , and love how you come across on camera ! Thank you
Thank you! It seems like it’s picking up traction. Please, share!
@@developingtank absolutely!! I know how much effort it takes to make these videos , they are incredible
Really appreciate it 🙏
Spoken my mind!!! This channel deserves way more for this kind of videos
@troydondcruz1459 thank you. Let’s get it there!
No fluff, great info, great pacing. Appreciate your work.
I appreciate you 🫡
Im gonna start commenting on every video just for the algorithm, great work!
I would really appreciate that. Thank you!

A beautiful story that could not be told any better! Keep creating awesome videos like this one
Thank you! Will do 🫡
OMG! He is such a GENIUS! ❤ Thank you for yet another GREAT video!
Yes, he’s great. Thank you!
Man harry is one of my favs..I loved his style... awesome video I loved this essays and profiles..keep up the good work and great education
Thanks for watching. I appreciated the kind words.
Thank you for making content like this. Truly refreshing amongst the sea of "what's in my bag" videos!
Thank you! Trying to be the change I want to see in the world, because I’m tired of all that trash too.
I have one of his books mostly shots in Morocco and his color palette is quite brilliant and also how he manages to get people in the right places
I probably need to grab the Morocco books too seeing how he’s held it in such high regard.
Another great video man! I was unfamiliar with his extensive work in Morocco. You should really be affiliate linking these books from the videos in the description - just ordered his Morocco book!
Thanks! Yeah, after the last one I was really thinking that I need to start doing that and will set it up asap.

Great video!
The LOTR comp is great and I found it interesting that he and Moriyama were doing the same project at the same time without knowing. Thank you!

I had never seen his work until this video… WOW
Awesome! That’s exactly why I’m doing this channel. I hadn’t heard of him until a couple years ago and couldn’t believe how under appreciated his work is.
Superb stuff!! Thank you for the enlightenment!!
Thank you! 🫡

Another great video
Thank you 🫡
“Please subscribe” in the last second.
No time wasted. Hell yeah bro!
Respect. I hate watching videos that beat around the bush and don't get to the point, so I don't want to do that to others.
Loved it Hank! 🤘🏼
Haha thanks idk why people keep calling me Hank lately 😅

I get a similar feeling when looking at anything colorized from the early days of film and photography
There are some weeks where I think it's been three or four weeks since you've posted. Son of a. Okay, pushing play now. Hold my calls!
Been on a 6 day posting schedule lately after plenty of periods where months pass between videos
@@developingtank - well, you have at least one fan who *really* enjoys the hard work you're putting into these.
I always appreciate the support
Great!
Thank you 🫡
Great Channel!
Why do you wear black rubber gloves?
