    It was nice to see John shooting with his X-T3 and using the flip out screen for framing in exactly the same way as I use mine. It’s a very practical means of capturing street images.

    Dropped some photo knowledge! This episode could have been twice as long!

  • @EyeLidRJL
    @EyeLidRJL ปีที่แล้ว +42

    Best one yet, learned so much that photography is as much about getting off your couch to shoot and getting on your couch to look at books.

  • @jmtphotographymedia
    @jmtphotographymedia 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    What I like about this is that John doesn't conform to any standards. He just enjoys photography. I feel that.

  • @tempertramp

    Jaw dropped when he said "since 1979"!

    John wha representing. As I get older it’s wonderful to Asian American artists doing their thing and putting in the work on their true selves. Thank you guys for your honesty!

  • @striko520334
    @striko520334 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Love the contrast between John and those photographers by the water. Huge respect for both; but man, John seems to be such a cool dude.

  • @GABRIEL_CRAFT
    @GABRIEL_CRAFT ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Really appreciate you featuring a digital shooter. I love this series and am rewatching ~ but I was starting to think that many of the street photog community may not accept digital as valuable or real. Would love to see any other digital shooters featured in the future. Also loved all the book recommendations from John and the flash shots. Thank you as always Paulie 🙏✌️

    John Wha is the smartest street photographer on Walkie-Talkie.
    He shoots digital instead of film.

    It’s WILD that you brought up that old lady. I was literally thinking about not having my legs and how I’d be the one to drive around in a motorized chair, taking photos lol.

    It's better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially.

  • @Timoleon87
    @Timoleon87 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Love this, I use exactly the same technique. Love the low angle candid look. And if you want to be ultra sneaky you can use the touch screen for shooting and don't wven use the shutter button, it just looks like you fiddling with the settings.

  • @lorenzobbanotito
    @lorenzobbanotito ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Haha the walking, taking photo in SF with all those hills is killer

    I’d love to see one of these NYC street photographers working the Salt Lake City streets. It’s such a different environment I’d love to see how they adapt. I might learn something valuable.

    Thank you for doing these videos and letting us follow the walks, i miss new york. I used to come back home to do these exact same walks when i would come back to chinatown manhattan to see my parents. My dad got hurt, now he and my mom live with me in the DMV area now, and I just miss seeing my childhood city, thank you so much for documenting our home.

  • @ghetostyte420
    @ghetostyte420 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Been hooked on this series ever since I found it a few days ago. I miss NYC. Being in Cleveland is not the same but listening to these artists talk about what to look for and just being present in your surroundings is inspiring. Thanks for the videos!

    Just as I was starting to feel some type of way about all these film dudes, here comes a guy with a Fuji. An XT3 at that, you go boy! Not that I have anything against film, I started on film in 2007 in HS.

  • @patrickjclarke
    @patrickjclarke ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This was a fun one, and John, even at the ripe old age of 100 (j/k) can still keep up with the teenagers. I loved seeing him use his Fuji in that way for street. I have an old Samsung NX3000 with that kind of tilt-screen, and paired with the 20mm pancake it's very stealthy for street. I still like using the optical RF in my Leica more...looking thru the RF I feel...more engaged in the environment if that makes any sense

  • @blackentrepreneur244

    Those fountain photos were hilarious. I remember way back before I knew what I was doing with my camera, this homeless lady came up to me and pulled them thangs out. Said “take a picture of these”. I missed the shot of course, but it’s a funny memory to have.
