Oh man the Bessa R (well technically the R3A) was my first ever rangefinder purchased with my hard earned cocktail-waitress cash back in 2011? Love that camera
It’s such a good one for sure!!!! 🥳 Maybe someday it shall return and be part of your reviews ☺️ Totally side note … I was also eyeing your m8 there entire play. Can’t wait for that vid… unless it exists… then I’ll go watch it 😆
@@BadFlashes Ha! That is a good eye. The video doth not yet exist. But it will be coming after Chris Chu's meet up on the 16th where I'll probably break the shutter from having more than 20 free minutes to shoot. Hope you'll be there!
Hahahaha i hope it doesn’t break! And I’m excited to watch it! Unfortunately I won’t be there. I’ll be in NJ on a job… I’ve already cried about not attending.
Yooo I grew up in and lived in all around Ohio. People give it a bad wrap but ever since I’ve moved out west I’ve been missing parts of it and especially the changing of seasons. Don’t listen to the haters, Ohio is a great state.
okay, RCJH. Long hours wow, typical I assume. Sometimes shooting alone is tough because yeah, killer clowns. Wait, a new camera bag!? That Trip III graphic is minty fresh! Crazy timing I read an article on that abandoned stadium and how the corner stands are basically the retaining wall for the high way now, so it's gotta stay. Love the bessa! Been eyeing one for a bit but don't think it will be coming anytime soon into my bag.
Wow such creative much artist. Good that you have an m6 so that you can zone focus with ease when you stop down the lens to layer all those hotel room elements.
Love my canon 50 1.4 ltm. Incredible lens. That being said.. heard the 35 f2’s have shoddy build quality. My 50 1.4 has some slop but its definitely fine.
@@BadFlashes Keep up the good work amigo! You've inspired me to head to my local camera shop to pick up some film. I'm still very new at this and we're fairly limited here in the UK so it'll probably be some very vanilla Ultramax 400 or something similar.
I resumed watching this in a cafe, assumed my earbuds were connected, and then the entire cafe heard you say "That's definitely piss." I would very much like the ground to swallow me at the moment.
It is very weird to watch you shoot in places I’ve gone to so many times. I grew up in the Cleveland Akron area and the rubber bowl specifically is such a common place for the young high school stoners of my generation to go.
I grew up in Cbus and lived in Akron for about 2 years. Everyone I photographed up there was either high, a skater, or both lol it was great. Super chill people
I think you have something going with that 50, maybe it's a good idea to stick with it for a while? The wide angles are nice, but photophgrahy always have something about picking what's in the frame. Maybe I just like the images.
Bruh! You’re in Cle & Akron! My home state 🥹 I’m moving out of Ohio in 3 weeks. It has it’s gems but I’m excited to leave 😂 Really cool to see you capture it. Cant believe you got into the rubber bowl without any issues! Security is usually crazy there!
I was for a second there yeah! I really like a lot of those places. And honestly I’ll come back with Jason to capture this place even more! I’m glad I didn’t have any issues at the rubber bowl haha
@Bad Flashes Columbus is a ball, but do not, I repeat DO NOT, get your film developed by The Columbus Film Lab. At least not if you want it back and don’t want your money stolen. Just a fair warning.
3:47 can confirm! After leaving skid marks all over my camera bag, that neck strap went in the trash. Replaced with a paracord wrist strap. Perhaps not an ideal replacement but it works.

@@BadFlashes tragic news! But I’ll be sure to bring your cardboard cut out for representation
Aw lovely!!! Thanks 😊
I always seem to end up where little to nothing is abandoned, like the trip I'm on now. You made the most of that roll for sure!
Aw thanks, finding abandoned things is definitely a workout for sure. Take some pre planning sometimes.
Really dug the editing and music on this one. A+ vibes would watch again!
Oh yay!!! So glad you liked it. It is a bit different 😍
Ohio gang rise up
You got to rise up!!!!!!
Ohio gang let’s gooo👌
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!
Ohio gang!!!
Oh yeah more!!!!!!
Yooo I grew up in and lived in all around Ohio. People give it a bad wrap but ever since I’ve moved out west I’ve been missing parts of it and especially the changing of seasons. Don’t listen to the haters, Ohio is a great state.
You know. My first trip … wasn’t a fan … but then my second trip I saw the light …. More in that in another video :)
I'll trade you any time! 😂

Well it’s a decent price as of now! Haha but that’s weird that you read an article about it. I should have read it before making the vid haha
Wow such creative much artist. Good that you have an m6 so that you can zone focus with ease when you stop down the lens to layer all those hotel room elements.
Thanks so much! I appreciate how thoughtful you are with your comments. Thanks for watching my content it means the world to me!
@@BadFlashes If I didn’t enjoy the content I wouldn’t be here in the first place buddy. Keep em comming.
dawg your video pacing is so much better when you're tired lmfao
Hahahahah are you telling me to slow down???
@@BadFlashes slow and steady wins the race I've heard
Ohio gang!! I’m from the Canton area, Cleveland’s got a lot of cool places to shoot!
Oh dope dope dope!!!!! It totally does. So much so I want to come back 😱
Just got a canon 35 f/2 ltm lens and am excited to test it out. I do love the canon 50 f/1.4 ltm. Its a thing of beauty
how much did you pay for it ?
Lovely thing indeed
For my canon 1.8 I think like 95$ plus shipping.
Love my canon 50 1.4 ltm. Incredible lens. That being said.. heard the 35 f2’s have shoddy build quality. My 50 1.4 has some slop but its definitely fine.
I agree with slop… but people love sloppy joes so it works haha
I LOVE Ohio! I spent some serious time all around the entire state while working on a photobook project back in the 90's. 👍
Well that sounds awesome!
Caleb: "there is killer clowns everywhere"
Also Caleb: 5:31
🤣🤣🤣
That's a sweet looking Bessa R and Canon 50 ltm combo, blue/chrome beauty...:)
I’m kinda partial to it 😆😍
Thanks!!!!!
Those photos in your room are probably some of my favourite shots you've ever taken. That and the editing in this video is very nice!
Ahhhhh thanks so much!!! That makes me happy 😊 thanks for the love!!!!!
@@BadFlashes Keep up the good work amigo! You've inspired me to head to my local camera shop to pick up some film. I'm still very new at this and we're fairly limited here in the UK so it'll probably be some very vanilla Ultramax 400 or something similar.
Well good thing Ultramax is da bomb!!!!!
Had a shock when I saw the Rubber Bowl shots - my high school played the state championship game there in the 70’s. I enjoy your videos, thanks.
Oh wow that’s awesome! I bet that’s a blast from the past. Thanks for sharing. That’s so awesome :)
Yessss Kodak XXX 🤤
KODAK LIFE
those shots inside the hotel were surprisingly beautiful
Ah thanks!!!! That’s what inspiration and boredom can create
I resumed watching this in a cafe, assumed my earbuds were connected, and then the entire cafe heard you say "That's definitely piss." I would very much like the ground to swallow me at the moment.
Haha that is kinda funny though. 🤣
But im sorry that happened!
@@BadFlashes I'm giggling at the memory, so it's all good! 😂
DA BESSA DA BESS
You DA BESSSA BESS!!!!!
It is very weird to watch you shoot in places I’ve gone to so many times. I grew up in the Cleveland Akron area and the rubber bowl specifically is such a common place for the young high school stoners of my generation to go.
Looks like a cool place to chill!
I grew up in Cbus and lived in Akron for about 2 years. Everyone I photographed up there was either high, a skater, or both lol it was great. Super chill people
Nooooo way!!! That’s so awesome! I wanted to explore more …. What as it????
I definitely enjoyed that place :)
@@BadFlashes from my understanding they used to have high school football championship games there. But it was replaced and never demolished.
I think you have something going with that 50, maybe it's a good idea to stick with it for a while? The wide angles are nice, but photophgrahy always have something about picking what's in the frame. Maybe I just like the images.
Yeah. I get that tooooo!
Good perspective 🥳
nothing but vibes 🌴
Hahaha I love tossing out those vibes :)
Cool photos dude! I’ve been looking at one of those 50mm lenses for my canon P
They ain’t bad!!!! Heavy but the images are fire 🔥
Really like the blue colour of that cam.
Right. That’s kinda why I got it 😛

love to see it
😍😍😍
Loved this video
Yes! So pumped! 🥰
My man said “oop I forgot me cam 🤭” and casually bought a Bessa 🤣
Hahaha I mean… totally 😂
Which Bessa? What lens? What film?! CALEB!!!
Bessa R and he said the lens was a Canon 50mm f1.8 LTM. And I think the film was Fuji C200.
Yep yep and yep :)
What documentaries were you referring to?
My man William egg 🥚
The 35mm lens is definately my go to also
Dope dope dope!!!!! I need one for my LTM!
Caleb! Reach out to Peak Design, they’ll replace that strap for free dollars - that was a design flaw with their earlier straps
I love freeee dollars !!!!
Thanks :)
Bro this was wild lol
🥳🥳🥳
rockchalk! love the KU Sticker!
Hahah ROCKCHALK!!! Did you go to KU?
@@BadFlashes yup! Originally from OC California still in lawrence so if you are ever around town love to go out and photograph!
Oh yeah it’s been a sec since I’ve been there…. I think that means I need to go back!
@@BadFlashes 100% decent spots to shoot and plenty of bars to choose from! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks yo!
Welcome to Ohio! Come visit Columbus next!
Definitely on the list!
@Bad Flashes Columbus is a ball, but do not, I repeat DO NOT, get your film developed by The Columbus Film Lab. At least not if you want it back and don’t want your money stolen. Just a fair warning.
Haha deal
I am curious which photographic documentaries you would recommend!
It was the one about old William Eggleston 😂🥳😝
oh so you're my camera twin... we might be 2 of maybe 50 people in the world that own the Bessa in Manufacturer Anniversary Navy Blue/Yellow
I think you might be right hahaha
You bought the Bessa R because you wanted a somewhat modern screw mount rangefinder camera body?
Naw I’m so vain…. I just liked the color of the camera hahaha 😝
is that fujigold 200?
Yep
How long 'til Caleb accidentally photographs a dead body?
Four to six more episodes
I hope I never do 🫣😬😵💫
Do you shoot tri-x at box speed
Yep usually I do.
I did this with a car in LA and drove up to San Jose. The driver assist was weird.
It’s weird at first then you want it alllllll the time
yeah, at first, it was hard to trust it to play pokemon go up the coast, but it got easier.
Hahaha word. It almost got me into trouble on corners though 🫠😂😵💫
You want to talk about weird on corners... I drove the PCH and big sur. but I caught a lot of shots and decent pokemon.
Ohio isn’t that bad
I swear
I swear
I promise
Well I’m going back so I agree
Blessa the Bessa !
Haha fo sho!
You did it! You got one! Nice! What are your thoughts?
Hahaha I did!!!!!!!!!
I’m definitely a fan, great companion to the M6 … and it’s sexy
Peak Design replaced my gummied-up straps with v2 free of charge under their life time warranty. Sadly no orange or blue colors.
Oh shit!!!! I should reach out!!!!!! Thanks for the tip
@@BadFlashes Crazy part is, I had a v1 messenger bag that happened to and they sent me an entirely new bag. Not just the strap.
Oh shizzzzz that’s coooo
What was the rule?
Always bring a camera!!!!!
What do you do for work?
Vfx supervisor
Week made!
Yay!!! So glad
@@BadFlashes with the way this week has gone, your video dropping has truly been a highlight!
I’m so glad to be that little spark :)
Photographic Doc Recommendation 😬👇
Mr William Eggelston
TH-cam
Thanks bud
Ohio here! Let me know if you are ever near Cleveland and I'll show you all the secret hidden gems
If I go back I’ll definitely post about it 🤙🏼😍🥳
You broke your rule? Where you're going there are no rules... Welcome to Ohio.
Haha and it sure did welcome me
Are you allowed to visit Ohio without mentioning or visiting Matt Day?
Hahaha if only I had another weekend freee
You like the band Against Me?
You know it!!!!!
Ohio, the Great State of Matt Day
Matt Daddy Day!
@@BadFlashes oh, you know it!
I always get depressed when I remember Ohio exists
Hhahaha do you live in ohio?
@@BadFlashes thankfully no!
Hah well I had fun taking pics there. Maybe you will have to give it a try sometime:)
Bruh you got pre-eety close to some huge poison ivy in that motel
What …. No way! Really??????? 🫣
Good thing I didn’t touch it. I have a pretty bad reaction to that shit 😵💫
@@BadFlashes It really looks like the one vining against the door was Ivy but hard to know...
I better watch out next time 😬🤪
well, ohio is for lovers
Lovers of all types of things :)
I live in Ohio, and I’m still pretty confused why you came here.. even for a gig
Hahaha making movies!
3:47 can confirm! After leaving skid marks all over my camera bag, that neck strap went in the trash. Replaced with a paracord wrist strap. Perhaps not an ideal replacement but it works.
I just found out in this thread that you could possibly get it replaced. I’m going to try
Wait, it’s all Ohio?
All of it baby!!!!
I assume the 1 rule was not to go to Ohio.
Hahahahha
What is this bessa r that thing looks sexy please tell me well get a review for it 🙏
Haha oh yes you will. Don’t you worry ! 😉
Cleveland! This is for you!!!
My real love letter is coming soon :)
The definitive word here is unsubscribe.
