That is the best TH-cam video I have seen in a long time. You are a truly great communicator, whether the subject be photography or the hell of being ill away from home... So much of what you say resonated with me and I'm sure anyone else who has been in that position... Respect 💪
I injured my ankle - badly - in a small French village back in 2015. Seemingly, the whole town came together to help us get the care I needed -- quickly and for free -- and catch the late train back to Paris. The cab driver stopped the fare and helped me into the pharmacy to explain what I needed, and we had to beg him to take a tip. Two days later (on crutches), the folks at the airport were also super helpful getting us and our luggage to our gate. When we landed in the US...we were on our own. I'm really enjoying your channel even though I don't shoot film and only shoot landscapes. Good stuff. The shattered glass photos in this one are excellent.
Those dress shots are incredible! I love those moments when just by chance, you happen to be at the right place, at the right time, with a camera in hand. You just know before you've even snapped, that your walking away with some incredible images. All I can do is smile in moments like that.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now….not sure how I missed this one until now! Great video and story about the Fujifilm X-Pro 2 - err, I mean the worst plane flight ever in the history of flying. It’s all matter in the trash can now, I mean water under the bridge. Glad you made it!
Love all the images, especially the "window" images. They are truly unique. Would love to see one framed up the way you mentioned. Nothing worse than getting sick on a trip, sorry to hear how bad it was.
I don't know how I missed this video! What a tale of air travel gone bad. I was dying during the telling, having been there and experience a similar 24 hours of hell. Those images of the shattered glass are brilliant and I would love to see them hanging on a wall as described. Great half hour Nick!
Sorry about the sickness but glad you both had a wonderful trip. London is our favorite city and so easy to get around. We can spend days in the National Gallery. Hope you can make it back soon. I'm thankful that you introduced me to Alabama Hills. Since then I've had several great trips there. Take care and congratulations on your wedding. John
Loved the Image of those Phone booths and the Image of the Dinner wagon. But the overall gorgeous shots, was those with the broken windows....wow, that was not ordinary Images. So damn beautiful.
Nick... seriously dude... this is one hell of a video. 1) Amazing pictures. 2) Good gear review. 3) That story... and your way of telling it... kept me laughing out loud non stop. I'm so sorry for your plight. But damn, you're just as great a storyteller as you are a photographer. Bravo sir.
Wow Nick! So happy you finally pulled the trigger and went to London and Paris (my favorite city). The photos are mind blowing (especially the dresses through shattered glass). I’ve always said you make magic with a camera. Also, was cringing the whole time you described being ill 😷 at the end. OMG!!! Nothing worse.
So glad I found your channel today, these photos and the stories behind them are so interesting that it reminds me of some of my travelling and makes me looking forward to summer even more, I just don't take many photos in the winter.
I'm sorry for that miserable 24 hours of sickness and flight BUT... That's was the funniest travel story I've heard in a long time and I can laugh about it now because something similar happened to me a long time ago. On another note... I loved those cracked window photos, too! Freaking amazing!
Glued to my chair, listening breathlessly; what a terrible experience, man. I got a little nauseous myself... The dresses shots? Sincerely one of the most beautiful things in photography I've ever seen!
Oh man, that story.... some humor mixed in with the tragedy...so sorry to hear and felt really bad for you guys. The way you told the story and with the violent puking I can totally relate to unfortunately as I have the same problem when I fall ill. Loved the photos though.
I have the original version of that Tenba bag. My Nikon D3 and a 28-105 2.8 was just to big for that bag so I use it as a laptop bag. I use a Think Tank Retrospective for my 'shooting' bag.
Nick your video's are brilliant. Thats story, deserves to be told in a pub with a couple of nice beers, glad your feeling better. All the best from Ireland.
Enjoyed your story. Taking film is always a worry for me too at airports but so far I've kept it to less than ISO800 and not had problems with the x-rays, touch wood. I've done a few nighttime shots of London during my work trips using, most recently, Fujichrome Provia 100. If you have any influence with Fuji, please ask them not to discontinue that film! Losing Acros has been hard enough lately. Your sickness story was very very funny!! Sorry to find humour from your horrible experience but its because I can relate. I get quite anxious about travel generally and being sick like that must have been the worse thing ever. Credit to you for making it home!
I really enjoyed the talk, thanks. We have similar photographic taste. I keep postponing the XPRO because I have an X-T which is "better" (you know, the display tilts!) even though less glamorous.
Entertaining story Nick, I chuckled plenty, I've been there, on the way back from Thailand a long time ago, I feel your pain! If you make it back to the UK come and visit Bristol, just a couple of hours from London and full of life, history and culture. Those shots of Paris are fantastic, the dresses behind shattered glass beautiful. I'd buy one for my wall if you ever decide to put prints up for sale. The London shots were great too, the colours absolutely nailed what it's like to be there. You pick up the atmosphere of a place, that's art.
Oh man, i'm feeling sorry for you! But that second part of the video was probably one of the funniest stories i've heard in a long time. You're a hell of a storyteller by the way!
I feel the same way about mine! I love the Graphite model! Aside from the way it looks (which is non-essential), I love everything about it. I brought it to Japan with me on two trips and didn't regret not bringing my larger work DSLRs. Welcome to the "club"! Thanks for the video. Great photos :)
the shattered windows in front of the clothes, I had to rewind three times. stunning to say the least. I thought I had your story beat, till you said and then the other end. hmmmmmm . for me the other end in a parking lot, a news paper to tidy. all the photos were amazing but the polaroids and the shattered windows at 12 min. WOW
Damn that was a fine story. I was in tears when you acted out puking in the airport. Great story telling. As a Londoner you're welcome back anytime... oh and great pics too. I'm sub'ing and ring that bell. ding ding.
I've done a couple of trips with 7-9 flights (with countless more security checks, they have a lot of them in China) with film as well as many shorter ones, and what I've learnt is you won't always be able to get hand checks and it really doesn't matter all that much. Unless you're using like 3200 speed film (in which case they're more likely to hand check for you), you're very unlikely to notice any damage. Also I found it helped after they'd first say that they wouldn't hand check if I told them I was taking a lot of flights that trip they'd often change their minds.
Great video. Stuck around for the whole thing. Glad I did. I feel your pain, I don't take being sick well either. On the other hand those were some fantastic photos. I shoot Fuji as well and love it.
Lovely pictures of the cracked glass. Would love to have a print of one of them. I can also relate with you with regard to the type of bag to take travelling. I hate struggling with a camera bag, especially if it's a back pack. I shoot with a Leica rangefinder, and I love that format of camera, and I carry my camera and lenses in a a Billingham shoulder bag, which I love. It's small, and I can carry my camera and at least 3 lenses. It's great for travel.
Oh man! Reminds me of the time I was in Hawaii and had some sorta sushi that did me in. I was up sick all night purging, and had to get up to do a submarine thing in the morning. No bathroom, no moving. THE WORST. Glad you’re home safe and feeling better.
Haha - oh, God. I'm pretty sure if you forced someone to get into a submarine with food poisoning, you'd be violating the Geneva Convention. That sounds brutal.
Nick Carver it was possibly the worst experience of my life. The only thing that kept it together is the knowledge that if I let anything out, pretty much the entire submarine would have followed. Kind of a nightmare scenario. Lol
That was a damned amazing and miserable story. I'm sorry you and your fiances suffered so, but it sure as hell made for a great, if not, gross story. Having made that long trip several times, this will always provide me a perspective that regardless of how long or uncomfortable it may feel, it could be a hell of a lot worse. Thanks for sharing. PS, love the pictures behind the broken glass. Worth the whole trip.
Love my Olympus Pen F for travel small and light is so easy. I took my Nikon F100 with me to Vietnam and 10 rolls of TRI-X 400. 15 hours of flying and six X-ray checks. The film looks fantastic the X-ray never touched them. Going back next year and thinking about bringing my Hasselblad 503.
Those are memories that can’t be made up. The details made me feel like I was there. Thanks for sharing. Love the videos, and photos. Keep up the great work 🙏.

Nick Carver; fine art photographer and fine art storyteller.
lol
Man, those dress/window shots. So good.
Agree. Would love to see that in plexiglass as said.
I thought for a while you were the same person
Matt Day and Nick Carver two of my favorite TH-camrs/Photographers!
They may have been separated at birth.
Thanks, Matt. Means a lot coming from you.
This went from being a good photo blog to a GREAT comedy performance in a flash.Marvellous .
That is the best TH-cam video I have seen in a long time. You are a truly great communicator, whether the subject be photography or the hell of being ill away from home... So much of what you say resonated with me and I'm sure anyone else who has been in that position... Respect 💪

I'm really enjoying your channel even though I don't shoot film and only shoot landscapes. Good stuff. The shattered glass photos in this one are excellent.
This has to be the best image/camera/barfing video out there.
So awesome.
That's some steep competition. Thank you!
Nick, The shots of the dresses through the shattered glass are spectacular. I love the results and the statements they make. Very inspiring.
Love in the background of the unboxing a green bottle of golden goodness!! Laga is amazing!!
I'm a Londoner. Not bad actually.
Haha! Nice. That skill is going on the back of my headshot.
Awesome plexiglass pics and so nice seeing Yoshino’s off Piccadilly....love that restaurant.
Absolutely gorgeous photos through the glass. Exquisitely done. Bravo! Fashion and politics beautifully and perfectly documented through your art.
Fabulous images and enjoyable content thanks. Please make available one of your three images sets of the smashed Paris shop windows.
Those dress shots are incredible! I love those moments when just by chance, you happen to be at the right place, at the right time, with a camera in hand. You just know before you've even snapped, that your walking away with some incredible images. All I can do is smile in moments like that.

Those images through the shattered glass are simply stunning.
You're right, those shattered glass shots are awesome! And they come with an interesting story to back them up.
Nick those cracked glass images are so special, very nice work.
Best channel ever. Inspires my photography and triggers my sympathy puking. Most excellent.
Thank you, sir! And hey, if I can get just one viewer to sympathy puke, I feel I've done my job.
HOLY COW! Those window shots are amazing!
Love all the images, especially the "window" images. They are truly unique. Would love to see one framed up the way you mentioned. Nothing worse than getting sick on a trip, sorry to hear how bad it was.
Thank you very much!
Wow! Great!!! Wonderful images of broken glass. Def. def print them!!!
I don't know how I missed this video! What a tale of air travel gone bad. I was dying during the telling, having been there and experience a similar 24 hours of hell. Those images of the shattered glass are brilliant and I would love to see them hanging on a wall as described. Great half hour Nick!
Welcome to the Fujifilm Fan Club !!
Those dress shop images are just beautiful Nick.
Sorry about the sickness but glad you both had a wonderful trip. London is our favorite city and so easy to get around. We can spend days in the National Gallery. Hope you can make it back soon. I'm thankful that you introduced me to Alabama Hills. Since then I've had several great trips there. Take care and congratulations on your wedding. John
Thank you! Hope to make it back there someday.
im glad you enjoyed London so much Nick.....i love you video's ,,from London
Hi Nick, Greetings from London, I just discovered your channel through Thomas Heaton's interview. I Love it.
Hi Nick, really great image review thank you ! Your story, you are the most awesome story teller ever!
Thank you again, Don
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
They don't come every week, but when they do, all stops and I watch the Nick Carver video. This is the good stuff.
@8:02....the Brit accent.....Spot on! And I lived there, stationed there for 5 years.....USAF.
Great photo's, and a great story Nick!
Nick, I loved your shattered glass Paris shots. They are amazing.
Wonderful window shots Nick and a great narrative. The storytelling was brill, anyone jumping this bit is missing out!
Agree. Your shattered window photos are wonderful!
Thank you!
Loved the Image of those Phone booths and the Image of the Dinner wagon. But the overall gorgeous shots, was those with the broken windows....wow, that was not ordinary Images. So damn beautiful.

I’ve always said you make magic with a camera. Also, was cringing the whole time you described being ill 😷 at the end. OMG!!! Nothing worse.
Yes another Nick Carver Video! Awesome Polaroids!
Thank you!
So glad I found your channel today, these photos and the stories behind them are so interesting that it reminds me of some of my travelling and makes me looking forward to summer even more, I just don't take many photos in the winter.

Brillaint photographs!!!
Another great episode from the awesome nick carver. Thanks
Loved the photo's in Paris of the stores with shattered glass...an artistic photographers dream .Well done!
Outstanding video Nick. Sorry it ended that way. Glad you enjoyed London, and the British nosh. Haste ye back, mate!
Your favorites from Paris, these are fantastic!
Thanks!
The dresses in the shattered windows did it for me. Outstanding
That pink dress behind the broken glass photo is superb..!
Wow those shattered glass fashion photos are amazing !!!
I'm sorry for that miserable 24 hours of sickness and flight BUT... That's was the funniest travel story I've heard in a long time and I can laugh about it now because something similar happened to me a long time ago. On another note... I loved those cracked window photos, too! Freaking amazing!
Glued to my chair, listening breathlessly; what a terrible experience, man.

The dresses shots?

I just looked at the window shots again! Even better. Love them.

Thank you, sir! Glad you enjoyed it. I'll do my best to keep Provia in production - haha.
brilliant video Nick! can't wait to see those prints
I really enjoy your story in Paris. Make me laugh a lot during this difficult time. Thank you
I really enjoyed the talk, thanks. We have similar photographic taste. I keep postponing the XPRO because I have an X-T which is "better" (you know, the display tilts!) even though less glamorous.
Love the dress pics. Liked the window/rain pics in London even better. AS always, fun to watch too!
A great story and great images. That's what makes a trip.
Great video Nick! Love the story telling and the images as well! 👌 Can’t wait for the next one!
Greetings from London! Nick, you are a great storyteller. I’m glad I watched this video till the very end:)

Great story told well. Pictures are good too!
Oh man, i'm feeling sorry for you! But that second part of the video was probably one of the funniest stories i've heard in a long time. You're a hell of a storyteller by the way!
LOL oh man!!! what a marathon that was pretty funny!

Hilarious after story!!
Hey Nick, I like the window pictures. Real Art !
I was only looking for an Xpro 2 review, but omg, that was a rollercoaster lol.
the shattered windows in front of the clothes, I had to rewind three times. stunning to say the least. I thought I had your story beat, till you said and then the other end. hmmmmmm . for me the other end in a parking lot, a news paper to tidy. all the photos were amazing but the polaroids and the shattered windows at 12 min.

love your videos and your photography!
Great story teller. Very amusing. Great photos but the story made this video for me.
I've done a couple of trips with 7-9 flights (with countless more security checks, they have a lot of them in China) with film as well as many shorter ones, and what I've learnt is you won't always be able to get hand checks and it really doesn't matter all that much.

Wonderful video, gorgeous images!!!
Wow, those photos are amazing!
Those dresses through the cracked glass are amazing! You need to do something special with those.
Hi Nick - great story. Loving your work.
Great video. Stuck around for the whole thing. Glad I did. I feel your pain, I don't take being sick well either. On the other hand those were some fantastic photos. I shoot Fuji as well and love it.
Love your street photography shots Nick. Some really creative stuff!
That story made the whole thing worthwhile
Second part is truely the best story ever. I'm still laughing with tears and all, sorry man...
All worth it for the laughs 👍🏼
Haha, glad to hear that. First part of the video was also really nice btw. Keep it up!
I love my Tenba DNA Messenger! Those window shots are awesome!
Those shattered glass images are beautiful! Wow. Great work.
Lovely pictures of the cracked glass. Would love to have a print of one of them. I can also relate with you with regard to the type of bag to take travelling.

Nick, incredible work! Absolutely love those dress shots. Sorry that you got sick! The river is called "La Seine". Glad you got a great time in Paris!
Love my Olympus Pen F for travel small and light is so easy. I took my Nikon F100 with me to Vietnam and 10 rolls of TRI-X 400. 15 hours of flying and six X-ray checks. The film looks fantastic the X-ray never touched them. Going back next year and thinking about bringing my Hasselblad 503.
That shot of the ATM is pretty interesting! I think it would make a good puzzle piece to a larger project.
A nice opportunity that presented itself... good job. Yes, go Big!
Those are memories that can’t be made up. The details made me feel like I was there. Thanks for sharing. Love the videos, and photos. Keep up the great work 🙏.
Great shots! Great story. And fun :-)
Wow man..Great great story..you have a gifted talent of storytelling..thanks for sharing
You are a good story teller, both with your images and your words!!. :)
