    Peter, you CRUSHED the story!!! You truly are a MASTER storyteller and this video is a prime example of that.
    I've realized over the past few years that "giving the gift of photography" is something that actually makes me feel not only better but that I'm accomplishing something.
    Whether it's giving the gift of a MASSIVE print, a photo book, smaller prints or sending someone the files...seeing the smiles on people's faces when they see their images is priceless.
    I hope people hear your message loud and clear. Give the gift the gift of photography any way you can. So many people go through life only seeing snapshots of themselves. But when you can capture a "photograph" and give it to someone, it's something they will cherish for a long long time.
    Thank you for including me in your fantastic story.
    Jared Polin

    This made me cry. Last april my grandpa died. I took a picture of him and my grandma right before he would get sick. After couple of months of his passing, I printed the photo, and gave to my grandmother. She couldn`t stop crying. She said "This is the best gift anyone in my life gave me, thank you" And that meant so much to me.
    So when he said giving the gift of photography, I understand.

    • @pelisinho
      @pelisinho 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Me too, something similar happened to me. Last time my grandmother came to visit I took a picture of her, she was a bit annoyed and wanted to go home earlier but she still managed to smile for the camera. My grandmother died last November and on Christmas I printed the picture and offered it to my aunt (which was my grandmother caretaker), she also cried alot but now keeps it in her room, so she can always see her mother smilling.

    Love this Pete! My girlfriend and I did long distance and when I left I gave her our last photo we took together (the day the long distance started). Then once we finished I gave her the first photo we took together (the day the long distance ended). Printed them in small 3x2 frames marked “Day 1” and “Day 365”. To this day she still brings them up. Goes to show even the smallest pictures can have the biggest meaning

    this is why i love analogue cameras, everyone forgets what type of photos you take and then when you, the owner of the camera, get the photos developed and give your friends some photos and they will remind what happened that time. I love the way they start smiling like crazy and get excited over what happened that day. I usually try to plan my analogue shots on moments where i know the person is gonna forget that i took a photo, but when they'll see it again theyre going to go crazy or love it so much

    Peter, when I found your channel a couple of years ago I was drawn in by your genuine charismatic personality that drove through your videos. That piece has been missing lately from your videos...but this video embodies what I enjoyed so much about your early work. I am excited for your new studio and the energy you are discovering again through this next step.
    I have also been getting my Photo News Fix for quite some time and believe this collab was put together perfectly. Jared seems to be a pretty cool individual and over the past year as I have listened to him I learned that this is the kind of individual he is. Action over words.
    What sealed this video for me and showed me that your fun, creativeness is resurgent was the chemex bookend shots.
    Congratulations on your new place, I look forward to seeing what your create and share.

To pull this off, we're going to need to convince other wedding vendors to donate their resources, so we reallllly need this launch film to get as much exposure as possible. Flowers, cake, etc. will be easy, but a venue? And catering? That's going to be asking a lot!

    I love it when I give people photos and later you see them on their wall or it could be as simple as seeing them as their fb , if profile pictures. The gift of photography is really one of the things that attracted me at the beginning, sometimes you forget it though. Thanks for this video, it's a good reminder. Thanks Jared aswell

    There is so much value in capturing candid, unscripted, un-posed moments in time and then presenting that moment back to a person by way of a photograph. Very good advice as well as the challenge.

    Definitely love giving out prints of people I've ran across and especially people I met along journeys. I just started recently printing photos I took within the last year. When giving prints as gifts or a nice jester it really makes a huge difference when the person that's within the photo sees what you captured that'll last a lifetime.

    This gives me an idea. I took my brother's wedding photos almost 30 years ago with a Pentax K1000 when I was around 17. I still have the Camera. As a gift I should take their picture of them at their 30th anniversary with the same camera. It was on Kodak 35mm film.

    A few of years ago, i lost my cousin in a tragic accident. we had an awesome relationship even though we lived in seperate countries. but i have no photos with him. growing up poor i had no access to technology. but when i became a photographer, i vowed to document my loved ones. i have tons of great images of my friends and family and i always make sure to surprise them with photos that eternalised a moment however great or silly it was...
    I was kinda judged when i changed careers to be a photographer/cinematographer... but such little gifts made the people i love most... love what i do and respect it.
    It is one of the best gifts of life. eternalise moments with the people you love ... we only have a few ...
    cheers

    Before you even got to the challenge part I was overwhelmed with memories while thinking for the perfect photo to gift my mom from the year I was blessed to spend with her (in my adult life) before I went overseas.
    Thank you!

    You've really an inspiration to create, since I've subscribed to you 2 or 3 years ago! It's bcz of you and few other creators I relaunched my TH-cam on 2017 August. I've done nothing great, but you've lit that fire in me and it is burning and will continue to burn forever!!🙏

    I got all teary eyed over the message. I have given the gift of photography before and it is the best feeling there is. When somebody can remember an event in their life through your photos. To see them relive it and smile about it.

  • @MrMackalicious13
    @MrMackalicious13 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you yet again for the inspiration! I absolutely love this video! I have to admit I started watching Jared Polin aka FRO when I first started getting into photography! He was very informative and gave me the drive to want to go and start pursuing photography! it's cool to see the person I first started watching on TH-cam give a gift or the gift of photography to another one of my favourite TH-cam content creators! I hope neither of you ever stop doing what you're doing because it is amazing!
