Thank you very much!

most photobooks are made up of images :)

The book?

@AbelKleinblatt yeah

I kind of like that it’s more niche and less in the mainstream. I think it would’ve been designed way differently if it was done by a bigger publisher

WAIT WHAAAAAATTTTTT TELL ME MORE

haha no worries, my brain works kind of similar but it's usually a Harry Potter reference in my case 😂

and that makes it un-cool? loli is such a small niche compared to all of Japan, you'd probably never run into that stuff if you were to avoid it

I think that every country has its bad sides and things you'd rather avoid. Yet, I think there's mostly a flipside that offers other perspectives as well. Like @fallenstoryteller2143 says, there are so many other things that make up that country. And you'll most likely find things that will make you feel good things and enjoy yourself! For example, the design ethic and history in Japan is what draws me to want to experience and visit the country :)

stereotyping and basing your opinion of an entire country based on a select few weirdos is lowkey kind of racist man

Fellow book lover 🤝! I used to be an art book librarian and try to keep the act of recommending interesting publications going on here :)

I take that as a huge compliment! I always try to add some value in my videos that people can do with what they want :)

It’s a great book!

Star Gazer by Ryan James Carr!

ah thanks for the kind words! Just trying to enjoy myself as much as possible :)

Thanks, Matt! Right back at you! 🫶🏻

I think I’m also due for a rewatch. Enjoy!

Great gift! It holds other projects that Annie Atkins has done as well!

@@its4m4L hahaha he’s in so many videos at this point, he’s basically a second host 😂

@@its4m4L hahaha same. I did send them the original as a reference :)

Which fisheye? For the final photo I used a 8mm Samyang. The one that I hold in front of the pink camera is a Nikon Fisheye converter FC-E8 0.21x

They are! I have a link to the orderform in my IG bio :) Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi! Thank you! Mine is from a brand called Subosi. With the naked eye it’s hard to see the halftone look but after I scan them and enlarge them it becomes clear :). At least with the one I have, can’t speak for others of course

@@AbelKleinblatt tysm!! ill check it out ;)

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate it! Just having some fun, I’m happy I get to do this :)

Thanks, Nick! Super glad you enjoyed it

Aahww thanks, Alex ❤️

Dankje, Maurice! 🫶🏻

Thanks!!

Thank you! And of course, send me a DM on Instagram and I'll send you all the details!

🙏

Thank you so much for the kind words! I always wonder if people that don't skate can enjoy what I make, so I'm really pleased that you mentioned it!

@@AbelKleinblatt Oh. For some reason I assumed most of your followers were not from the skating community lol, so it is interesting to see you mention that as well hahah But I find it all so inspiring! (Perhaps even more because it is out of my own field of hobbies and expertise so everything about it looks magical to me)

I think it’s a good mix of people that like design but a big part will most likely be skaters I think. That doensn’t mean that they can’t appreciate other things of course. I just never fully knew if people that don’t have that background are interested in things like this. Because from my experience, mostly in art school, people dislike skating hahah

Dankje!!

oh sick! Obrigado!!

thank you very much!! Glad you liked the ending :)

thank you!!

Going to check it out! Thanks!!

I don’t know if you can find good photos or descriptions of the book on the internet… maybe… But if you want I can send you pictures of the book via IG? The book is about architecture, so I think you would enjoy it:))

Oh yes please! That would be lovely

It’s a great book!

Thank you! I'll think about it, I'm not too familiar with BX. Will have to do some research first

well thank you! :)

Thank you so much for the very kind words! I’m glad to hear that this added some value to your day :)

I’m super glad to hear that it was interesting to you as a non-skater! Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you! The show is still up, definitely worth checking out!

@@AbelKleinblatt awesome!! Thanks!

@@veretigovi6316 this was somewhere last month :) that would’ve been so cool though

​@@AbelKleinblatt Ah, damn - saw someone taking photos of that building, so evidently you're not the only person who finds it interesting! Still a very high chance I saw you and just don't remember it now. Hope you enjoyed Krakow! There is a lot to see; I don't know if you saw the nearby Wieliczka Salt Mines, but if not, totally worth another trip to Krakow just for it! There is a gargantuan chapel carved into the stone, living quarters, underground rivers, etc. A medium-sized town could probably live down there if they had sufficient food reserves.

I didn’t get to see that! I was only there for a short trip. Sounds super cool!

Thank you! Definitely some interesting spots over there!

@@AbelKleinblatt Yeah:D

So sick to read that, thank you! For the final spread I used my home printer, the Epson ET-2850

Thank You! Yeah, our gloominess has made its reappearance haha. Let's count the days until late next spring hahahaha

Thanks! I used a Samyang 8mm fisheye and it's adapted indeed. I used to have it for my Canon before I switched to Fuji but it works perfectly!

Thank you!

Thanks! Haha sick, for the final digital images I used a Samyang 8mm fisheye that I used to have for my Canon and adapted it to my Fuji

@@AbelKleinblatt thanks for the info man! I might get one like that, maybe a 6.5mm Meike. The one I already have is the TTartisans 11mm for full frame and it works/looks great, but I’d love to own a wider one for closer shots and pics

Arthur, the guy who filmed some of the clips in this video, films with the Meike 3.5mm on his actual skate work. Which looks really sick! Not sure which mounts they offer though

Thank you!

Thanks! It's a Subosi cam I got off of Amazon

They are great! Super pleased with them. They’re from a brand called ‘Ciomo!’

@@AbelKleinblatt thanks. Maybe I'll choose one of theirs for my new pair
