    Chicago, as you’ve discovered, is a city with endless Hopper-esque scenes at all times of the day and night. Well suited to B&W high-contrast films like HP5. I thought the shots from Lower Wacker were some of your best. Overall, a great set of fantastic shots with more interesting lighting and possible imagined storylines. If you felt like you were in a slump, you just came out of it. Welcome back!

    Everyone's commenting on how jason's videos look, but i am always enjoy how his videos sound. Seems like a lot of skill and effort went into mixing the audio well. I don't usually find youtube videos have good sound, like jarring noises, or overly loud portions etc. And if they do have good sound, they don't sound interesting. Jason really does both well.

    Shooting street with a wide aspect ratio isn't easy. Subjects become small in the frame incredibly fast. I shot with a sprocket rocket in 2021 and will be pulling 35 through a Fuji 6x9 Professional in a few weeks, keeper rate is expected to be lower than usual but that's what Kodak 5207 is for.

    Hi Jason, I'm new to your channel and plan to stick around for awhile. I really like your videos. As another commenter said, there is a short-film feel to them. The voice over works for me and your deadpan humor is my style.
    Your images are inspiring. You make me want to shoot film again. I've been a photographic dilettante for decades, grew up with film, and moved to digital because, well, that's what we do. After messing with digital for a couple of decades, I feel drawn back to film and you're not helping!
    I remember feeling a little sad when I sold off my Canon AE-1s and Canon glass to buy a Nikon D100. I thought that was the "thing to do." Now I shoot Fuji, but find myself living almost entirely in the film simulation world.
    Maybe that's the tell.
    Anyway, thanks for sharing your work.
