    I cannot believe this year is already coming to a close - where the heck did 2021 go!? In this video I take some time to reflect on the year, on the channel and on life. I also leave you with some final thoughts as I prepare for 2022. First off, next year I am going to commit to creating the videos that I normally second guess and talk myself out of. Why? Making vids is about the fun and enjoyment I have creating them and exploring these ideas fosters even greater creativity - PLUS I think a bunch of you are going to have a lot of fun watching them. It is important to follow through on your creativity as it’s just too easy to go down the road of making content that is EXPECTED of you versus content that you are passionate about. This is a battle each one of us creators constantly face. Finally, the largest takeaway and best advice I will leave you with is DON’T follow influence, follow your PASSION. Passion is what gave you the drive and has helped you achieve all that you have so far, so it only makes sense to keep following it! Buckle up because 2022 is going to be a fun one!

    I’m not a photographer. Hell, I’m barely a content creator. I came to this channel based purely on your personality. Yeah, you do amazing work I only wish I could do, but it’s these “conversations” that I come for, and it’s why I’ve stayed. You’ve got this amazing “on screen” personality that makes you stand out, and no matter the route you take going into 2022, I’ll keep coming back for these fireside, tableside, chats.

    Pete, you're an absolute icon, the reason why almost every new filmmaker/photographer uses a Black-Cap Backward and has a moody Instagram feed. A role model, and inspiration for many. Your whole persona and everything that surrounds you is a cluster of coolness, charm, style, and good taste, that not even Casey Neistat has.

    Honestly my favourite video of the year. I’ve been watching almost every video for the past 4-5 years and I’ve loved watching you and your channel grow into so many amazing things and all the journeys it has taken you on. Of course all the photography and cinematography content is unreal but what’s really special and what I truly love is your character and personality. As someone who has struggled a lot with really going after the photography dream with everything I’ve got, it always motivates me so much to see the videos like this one. Thank you Peter for being such an inspiration and a hero to me and I’m sure so many others out there.
    Keep living the dream! I love it all!

    I’m leaning my whole life towards perfecting my craft in jewelry creation and documenting my journey through TH-cam and running my own window cleaning business to fund it all and there’s so many different things to be worried about all the time and I can definetly resonate with a lot of what you said, I often find myself in the same loop of “what would the viewers wanna see” or “how can I make a viral video to grow my following” but at the end of the day it’s questions like that which kill the passion for video creation, thank you for reminding us that it’s still our channel and we’re ALOUD to post whatever we want regardless of what people say.

    These kinds of videos have such power to always pivot whatever hardship that I'm in, or creative blocks that I'm having into substantially better circumstances. Literally, I have a go-to playlist named "Pete's Best" filled with my favorite videos of yours that I watch whenever I'm feeling down. Not necessarily the tutorials but some of the beautifully-put inspirations and golden nuggets that you spit out just by you being you. It sounds a bit cliche and weird saying out loud, but you've immensely helped me over the past years, Pete. Thank YOU. Never, ever, ever stop making vids. Cheers!
    P.S. I also bought my first camera (back in 2019) because of you.

    There’s a quote that says, “Choose a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life,” but there’s something to be said about when your fun hobby turns into something that you “have” to do.
    As TH-camrs, we often find ourselves forcing out content just to meet a quota or to try to keep our audience satisfied. And when we’ve made the same type of content for a long time, it’s scary to try something new. I can hear the comments in my head before I even start a video.
    I hope we can all find the courage to try new things in 2022!

      Depends really. Money is the real driver. You start listening to those around because the money is good and you don't want it to stop. Especially in the dog eat dog youtube world. Hence their are creators that only post whenever they feel like it and its usually a 10/10 cause they release when its ready. As opposed to being rushed to hit deadlines.

This is my second year of watching you consistently and I’ve watched tons of your videos from the beginning til now. I say it almost every time but you are one of my biggest inspirations and favourite photographers. I took an interest in cameras for a completely different genre of content but seeing you and Matti and others really made me want to do more and I have fallen in love with photography and storytelling in a completely different way. Thank you for that and the good talks this year in your videos. Tell more stories, do more you things, I’m dialed in and I’m sure we are all ready for you to send whatever your heart desires. You’ve helped give me the much needed reality. Check and confidence that being a creative artist/content creator or whatever is truly what I want. Cheers to 2022 and enjoy your break man.

    100% cheers'd you with a cookie at 9:49. Dude, I'm so happy for you and this new strategy. I think almost everyone watches you does so because of your unique personality and I'm really excited for what's coming as you lean into having fun as much as possible. Whether it's flashlights, automotive, outdoors, or photography/videography, I think we just all enjoy watching your child-like zest for life take over with whatever you're passionate about at the time. Much love, man! Continued success 🤙🏻

    Such a heartfelt and honest talk, especially the last few lines. As an artist myself, it made me think about the time and effort that I should be investing in perfecting my skill, and to not get influenced by anything else apart from the desire that made me start in the first place. Love and respect to you, Peter 👊

    I think, as a content creator, one goal we all attain to reach, is to be able to do basically whatever we want, and know the audience is there for it. Sadly that isn't the case for the majority, I'd say. I know if I just decided, I'm no longer doing what is expected of me and just doing what I want, the dream of doing it full time, would be over. There is a small chunk of the audience that's there for anything, and those people rock. But a larger chunk would move on. You keep doing you Pete, been here for a long dang time, not going anywhere soon. :)

    You know what, you’ve been like a friend this year to me. Had lots of things to overcome, moved to Berlin. Still feely lonely in the evenings sometimes. Take photos, have fun while taking them also editing them. But do you know what I do at the end? I watch you. I take a look at the shots you’ve posted on ig and think about how I could take a different one, one day. I watch your videos and feel the companionship. I’ve been in your channel for 2 or 3 years but especially in this year, I see how honest you are. I see the difficulties and fun things, I try to imagine how it is like. Man, so much to say here. Maybe you won’t even see this comment but I want you know that I’m here for you. Not for photography or a tutorial. I’m here because without you knowing, you’re helping me everyday. Thank you Pete.
