My apologies to anyone who received a comment reply from "me" telling you to buy bitcoin or some other nonsense. That wasn't me but some spammer. I'm working on getting their account taken down.
@@philhasacamera Me too. I don't watch a lot of this channel. This guy reminds me a little of Steve Mathies. I think Steve was some kind of engineer once. A couple of smart guys who are interesting(well, I guess smart guys just always are interesting). I was thinking I would hand deliver those. No shipping, no matter how much insurance.
I will be honest, at the beginning of your video I did connect with these pictures, the main reason is that I am not a big fan of cactus, but when I saw them framed and hanged! Wow, I was astonished! You clearly did an amazing job. Great video too and good luck with these house problems of yours.
Yo Nick, you're something else. The OG. The granddaddy purp. The man, the myth, the legend. Photography doesn't get much more inspiring than seeing you get excited about your craft. Giving me the urge to go shoot right now. Thank you for your hard work putting these long vids together. Props.
Printing… so important! I’m “only” a digital photographer, but get the same completion joy for the prints I choose to frame.. Love this channel! Thanks Nick.
Does it get more satisfying than that... Just one successful set like that would make all the wondering before it meaningless. But what's most important and under appreciated is the vision and conceptualization that grew out of a simple desert search.
I wish I found you on TH-cam years ago.... I got my first camera when I was 8 yrs old and waited because of family situations to try to get back into photography last year... thanks to covid I had to sell my brand new photography equipment so I could keep roof over my head. In the upcoming weeks I plan on buying equipment again... By the way I'm turning 61 in August... Like you said, it's time to bring my idea's for photo's to print. Thank you for showing me a video reminder of what matters...
I have a super small 4x6 printer and even seeing my stuff printed to that size has completely changed my view of my own work. I love printing my stuff now, its fun!
I got emotional when I saw the prints on the brewery’s wall. You captured so well the essence of creating art in your video. Thank you for your mastery of the art of storytelling.
You can always tell who's a photographer looking at prints. They are the only ones who go right up to a print to look at the detail. Another great video.
Great seeing those print up on the wall, I loved you talking about looking at prints really close up as in the past I used to large format screen printing for advertising and we ”You will never see imperfections on the side of a bus” if you looked at the 4 colour screen printing close up you would see lots big dots making up the image (a bit like a Lichtenstein print) most big prints are looked at further away than most people think. Pixel pepping only lead to madness. Great work Nick keep it up.
Great seeing the "ordinary" guy behind you. Takes a lot to show things you're not satisfied with in the midst of the social media area where everything has to be perfect. Its refreshing Nick! As always a pleasure. And keep em coming!
Proud to say I've watched every second of this, and I agree, we should print our photos more often. Recently, I've printed more of my photos in C-Type at A2 standard size, and framed them in some cheap frames I could afford. The feeling of seeing a photo I've shot in a frame is much much different than staring at it on a 13" MacBook screen.
I tend to queue up a bunch of vids and watch/listen to them at 2X speed, except when Nick uploads...I return the speed back to normal and simply enjoy...
A picture of a bush in the desert with a light leak. A throw-away photo for most photographers, yet you made a work of art out of it. WOW. I will have to visit the brewery and give your art a toast. Very cool storytelling journey.
I agree 100% about printing. you have to print! They don't have to be fine art quality, you just need to be able to touch them. I develop and scan my 35mm and 120 using Negative Supply gear and my Sony A7Riii. Then I convert and edit them with Negative Lab Pro and Lightroom/Photoshop. I also print the digital stuff I like. I go through my edits once every couple of months, pick my favorites, and submit an order to Mpix. Most everything is standard 4x6 for my personal photo albums. It's such a great feeling to see my photos in albums, and my friends, family, and clients like it too. Don't just relegate your work to Instagram. Print!
Nick - I just re-re-re-watched this video-. Boy you are so right about this "brain-to-frame" thing. Besides, your ocotillo shots are genius. When the US opens its border again next month, I will load my camera gear into my Jeep and no desert scenery in the West will be safe again! And if this goes well, maybe I will visit that brewery in San Diego just to gaze at your prints (and sample some of their brews!). I can't wait.
That was a fantastic journey you have just taken us on! Your comments at the end regarding the satisfaction of printing & Framing your work is very real. In Feb 2020 I did a photography trip to the Lofoten Islands in Norway from here in Australia (YES it IS a VERY VERY Long way!). I had 4 images printed and framed, I look at them every day hanging on the hall in my home, & remember the exact time I took the image and the work that went into capturing through to hanging the prints. It's a unique experience indeed Nick. I would do more BUT!.... lack of wall space and objections from my good wife prevent me from doing more except if I get an order for a print. (RARE!). Love your channel!! Cheers from Australia🇦🇺
Great video like always. This past weekend I received my first print of a remodeled theater here in West Texas, the Ector Theater. I will honestly say that having it on print creates such a unique sensation about the photo, I stared at it for a good while, absorbing the image, remembering the time I took that photo, the satisfaction I felt when I received the print… it’s priceless. Now it’s on a frame on my desk at work. I feel bad to say that I have it on a cheap frame I got from Hobby Lobby. after watching this video, I will definitely invest in a professional frame, the Theater deserves it… my photo deserves it.
Great video of an artist at work with all of the picky details and insanity it takes to get a final product like what Nick produced here. But... from about 28:00 on that's about the finest explanation of what I feel when I see something I shot hanging on a wall. Why I keep banging away. Why I sit on the floor and stare at the work when I see the finished product. Wow. I couldn't (and haven't) ever expressed it as articulately or well myself. Thanks for the how-to, but even more, thanks for the thoughts.
Your artful video capture and production here are testament to love you display for your craft, and the joy you bring to clients and the fortunate fans who follow you. Thanks Nick.
Its called life which is what happens while your busy doing something else , always look forward to your videos no matter what they are, love the analyses of sharpness of the print, the finished product looks so good. There is something special about getting the work to this point in the real world unfortunately so many people,e don't do it , having grown up with analog im constantly printing and making g sketch books - small prints at least its very satisfying
And this video for me especially. Do you know the channel adventure and art? Its too a very inspiring, motivating and mysterious vibe Ben is creating in his videos.
Yeah, even small prints are worth experiencing. I send a small print (11,5cm x 11,5cm) every month to my patrons and they've told me how magical it was for them to hold them. I sometimes call these prints postcards because they're similar in size and I write a short text on the back but even without said text, there's something special about a printed photograph. Especially these days, when so many are not.
Thanks Nic, feeling your pain with the messy garage. take us along for the ride when you do your new office. Loving the prints, the process and final result. From brain to frame indeed.
This made my day. I think i can speak for all of your fans, that even if it takes a bit longer for the next video of yours to come out. It is always worth the wait. Thank you so much for your work and showing it to us all.
That is one FINE collection of framed art! Some photographer that lives in KSAN, "might" just show up, loupe in hand. ;) You never know. My first real job, back in the day, working under that red Pegaus.
Hi Nick, you can make non-destructive contrast and tone edits within Photoshop. Step 1) Filter > Convert for Smart Filters. Step 2) Filter > Camera Raw Filter. This will open up a window very similar to Lightroom where you can make all your changes. If that's not non-destructive enough for you, you can always make a copy of your image layer, control or command + J, then proceed with Step 1.
Hi Nick, the prints look awesome and they are a perfect match for that wall. Your attention to details is really remarkable and I love that. Totally agree on what you say about printing, I do as much as I can.
Wow, they are stunning. I have been taking photographs for years and will share many of them, mainly electronically and have had people offer to pay me for prints and the request always embarrasses me for some reason and I never do it. This video has made me rethink that and wonder if I'm not making a mistake in not turning some of the photos I'm the most proud of into tangible prints. Not that I have anything on the level that you do, but it may still be interesting what they would look like properly printed and framed. Awesome video and you have every right to be proud.

Lol I was a bit confused at first, as this isn't my native language I thought I misunderstood something.
I founded kInd of strange...at first sounded serious but I knew something was wrong...
I was confused by your strange bitcoin advice mate lol 😂
I bought some.
@@paultaylor5513 Too funny.
Any day a new Nick Carver video is released is a good day. You are by far my favourite photographer to watch on youtube!
As ‘they’ say, this!
This! Ditto
I agree
couldn't agree more.
This is one of his best videos yet.
Totally agree! Great shots great process entertaining yet professional. Nick is so easy to relate too I'd like to go for a beer with him!

yes..
This video reminds me of Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

The quality of storytelling is off the charts here. Seeing something so thoroughly through to completion is a pure joy to watch.

Be proud man - they look great.
Photography - digital or analog - is useless without printing.
One word Nick. AWSOME.
congratulations! these prints in their frame look simply fantastic, excellent job!
Just outstanding. Loved to follow this from print to display.
Really beautiful work Nick. From brain to frame.

I too know the “brain to frame” feeling and it certainly is a feeling of accomplishment.
Excellent!!! Beautiful pictures, well framed, well exposed!
Love those floating prints, gorgeous
Another Gem of an episode 👍
Prints looked Great as a series of four or Five.
And Great on the wall
Float framing is Cool 👌
Hello nice to see you back and doing good 😎😎😎😎😎Holy 🦀 your prints are beautiful 😎😎😎

with his craft. Thanks for that.

Brilliant...Art Masterpieces...well done Nick! Cheers...
You’re one talented man. Appreciate your work.
I was at Harland Brewing in San Diego. I looked at Nick's photos. The photos are really great. Good job. They look great on the wall. Thanks, Nick
Nick I will say it again, you are a true artist. Your eye for detail is amazing.
This is it. From 0 to finished framed piece of art. Hard , expensive but satisfying as hell work.

There’s few ‘insta-click’ channels on TH-cam for me; this is one of them - great video.
Film photography is the still the best!
You are a brilliant educator, thank you.
Lol. Man that is the plot to every home renovation show on HGTV. Start with a simple project and end up rebuilding half the house.
Great video like always. This past weekend I received my first print of a remodeled theater here in West Texas, the Ector Theater.

You deserve all the accolades for such wonderful work Nick. Simply awesome 😎👌
As a neuroscientist I love the "brain-to-frame" concept. Pure genius.
Always a great day when there's a new Nick video

Love the framing style.

Thanks for another excellent video. Its hard to believe its six years since the original image was taken.
Very very very nice !! Great shots! Inspiring!
Beautiful craftsmanship and a very inspirational video. Please keep preserving our times with your awesome photographs.
New @NickCarver and @GrainyDays videos on THE SAME DAY? The universe is lining up, people.
That is one FINE collection of framed art!
Some photographer that lives in KSAN, "might" just show up, loupe in hand. ;) You never know.
My first real job, back in the day, working under that red Pegaus.
Really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for the video.
I love it - "From Brain to Frame"
First... awesome prints and i really like the end of the video talk.. Photography
Love the idea of including the film board, so creative.....
I just want to let you know that every time you drop a new video is a great day!
Today is a good day
Hi Nick ! Great !!! Beautiful photos !!!
They're timeless Nick. These will look awesome in 200 years from now - true artist 👌🏼
Class! That half hour went by very quickly. Great video, fantastic prints.

Really enjoyed this one Nick! Great to see your process and definitely helpful to apply to my own work!
Beautiful. Love your work and your Videos

Totally agree on what you say about printing, I do as much as I can.
You’re a unique talent Nick. Your vids are exemplary.
New Nick's video. I hit like, take a good cup of coffee, hit play and enjoy the next half hour...
In from the DC area and stopped by Harlands to take a look at your prints and get some beers. Not too shabby!
Nick, one thing I've learned, one thing always leads to another. And it costs you more and takes longer to do than you planned.
Wow ... what a great video! I am speechless. Thanks so much for all your effort and dedication.
Ohh Man! What a good work. Amazing Prints, so damn good. 😮❤
Bravo Mr.Carver 💠
What an awesome showcase. I need to dust off my 645.
YES cant wait for this one, love the print making aspect of this channel almost as much as the "on location"
Always willing to wait, for as long as it takes, until Nick brings us another gem. My day: made.
Wow, they are stunning. I have been taking photographs for years and will share many of them, mainly electronically and have had people offer to pay me for prints and the request always embarrasses me for some reason and I never do it. This video has made me rethink that and wonder if I'm not making a mistake in not turning some of the photos I'm the most proud of into tangible prints.

Props to your storytelling skills. And of course, the pieces look incredible!
Beautiful inspirational work Nick! I have only printed a couple of my images but I could really feel your excitement when you opened these prints up!
Those prints look beautiful.
