The intimacy with which you treat your subjects here, talking about your relationship to the town and the language, is moving. Wrapping your photos in all the context really elevates my experience of the work.
Shot with the car is 🔥🔥🔥. Always enjoyed visiting the small towns in japan more than the major touristy cities. Retro vibes, friendly people and good food 🙌🏻
100% Thanks homie
Ahh Sasebo, great for viewing the islands.
This video has some really nice vibes, good shots too! Wanna see more!
Great video! Love the music. Good advise on shooting people.
Man, I dig all your videos, but this one was something special. The cool tour-guide vibe, great shots, music,advice -- great job.
Nice! The shot with the vintage car 🤯
Love your calm, relaxed travel street photos!
More vids like this! Nice to see a new city
Interesting little city. Your ultramax shots are all great again. 👌These narrow side streets I find so interesting because there are not such streets here in Germany. 😮
And if there are some, they are really crowded. Remember some nice ones in Stockholm Old Town, if you are there ;)
Great video and shots! I got the feeling this is really personal, by creating the bgm yourself, you take us on a unique journey through your life, much appreciated! And I've remembered, how much I love the Kodak Gold colors. Thanks a lot :)
Yes do more content like thissisisisisisisisis
this video was great! good vibes =D
Nice retro vibe, this small city! 😍
Same here, speak Japanese but often ignored as assumed I don't understand.
I usually ignore it, but there's times it really grates.
Really enjoyed this video Alex! Keep them coming. Thank you
It’s nice to get some backstory context to where you are documenting. Great little adventure, Would love to see more!
Loved the video Alex! You vlog using the ZVE10? Looks great!
Really great video! Love the shots as well, there's almost a retro vibe to a lot of them that captures what I like most about japan
7:59 whew! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Alex, yep more wandering please.
This is the city where I bought my 1st Fujifilm camera and its there on the video 💯📷👍
Beautiful content 👌 love to see the vibes in Japan particularly outside Tokyo or Osaka !
The film is absolutely incredible 👏
Dope video. Please, continue to do some more videos like this. Btw I loved the music in this video:
Good stuff! Do some more inaka shoots. Maybe in Saga?
is that a datsun sunny on your thumbnail and at 8:00? that is my dream retirement car xD of all the rolls you shot I loved the Kodak gold 200 the most, the way it handles the skin tones and blues in 11:54 is really nice and it has a pleasing contrasty punch
Thanks Jay! Ya the Datsun was such an amazing grab for the day. I might print that.
I like the posing of subjects in pools of light...Sasebo reminds me a little of San Diego Calif 'old town' where it is more pedestrian friendly.
Absolutely! Ya Old Town is a nice comparison.
Sure, leave us with a full beer ...
Always enjoy your videos (more solo than with others) and seeing the streets of Japan. I have mostly stayed within the Kyoto-Tokyo range during my visits, along with some day journey further south and west). Next time I want to visit Fukuoka and down around Nagasaki. My friend who lives in Nagasaki came up to join me in Kyoto last time, and next visit I plan to meet her down in her neck of the woods.
Thanks! Ya Nagasaki is nice. It's much older so it has a different character. I also recommend Kumamoto ;)
Hey Alex, I'm actually stationed out here right now and just got into film this year. This is the inspo I need to shoot around more often. Awesome video!
That's perfect man. Great you found this. Much appreciated!
It's still touristy, but we had a great time in the small town vibes around kawaguchiko. I always wanted to check out the more rural areas up north.
Also 7:47 is pure fire.
Great video and pictures although some of the music was mixed in too loud
I enjoyed your video and photography very much. I often hate the music behind peoples’ videos, but your choice fitted really well. Thank you 😊
It was a bit gangsta for me.
@@stoneblue1795 What can I say? I was born on these gangsta streets and will die on these gangsta streets.
Are you scanning yourself the film ? seems like there's a strong red cast on almost all shots, perhaps it's on purpose though. Anyways nice shots and interesting place, Japan is such a small country yet has a lot of different forms and cool stuff to discover, cant wait to visit in the future.
Thank you! Ya you know I think it could definitely be some shots I could adjust the white balance more. But overall I think the greens of Fuji 100 came without much complications for me. Kodak is definitely warmer and on that red side.
nice one!
I want to put out videos as well, and this is a style of video I see myself doing.
I just neet to start it, right?
In late 70's, some areas of Tokyo looked like Sasebo. Not sure if many places like that are left in Tokyo.
I always enjoy watching videos filmed in Japan. It reminds me of the good old times in Tokyo. I miss Tokyo so much.
Do you just process your film and scan the negatives? Or have prints too?
Why is Tabaco written in hiragana? Shouldn't they use katakana? It's a foreign word!
Yeah Japan's on Fast Forward to where....shame as the charms of before are gone forever.
That truck tho
As long as the USA Navy base is there Sasebo is not going to fade economically. I believe the city get a 💴boost from the sailors.
Haha that Kodak 400! 👌🏼 That was my go-to back in the day. Is it just me or do the southern cities seem to have a different look than the northern cities?
They do. Much smaller in height actually. And the mountains are many but much smaller. In the north the mountains are HUGE and the land is much more spread out.
@@AlexOnStreets I gotta get back there, man… 🤙🏼
Very cool vibes. Did you do the music?
I did some of the songs ya! But not the beginning and end ones. ;)
@@AlexOnStreets You should make a music channel! Or bandcamp or something!
Do you feel like you are shooting film more than digital? Or is it an equal balance?
Actually I am formulating a bit of a system. It's not set in stone but.. primarily digital April-October. November-March all film. But color film mixed in here and there when I am ok with paying for extra cost. Maybe when I go somewhere special to me. ;)
How do you make money from street photography?
Cool video, but your Scans (in the first half of the video) are mirrored 😅
Haha you know what, I actually did it on purpose because for some reason I like my mind being flipped on the perspective. Usually I will shoot things going more right to left and I noticed this trend. So I decided to flip my mind in post I guess. Haha.. it's weird.
@@AlexOnStreets interesting! Maybe you should start shooting waist level finder cameras - they are mirrored by default 🙃
