Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you for all of your kind and supportive messages - I can't tell you how much it means to myself and my family! I wish I could reply to each and every comment, but I feel like that would be almost impossible. So, thank you all so much!
I also just wanted to clarify that I'm not stopping gear reviews entirely. I genuinely love trying out and talking about different cameras, but I just want to try and make less of that type of content so I can focus on making different/less serious videos. But, naturally, this will take some time to do as I not only need time to settle into my new hometown, but also time to conceptualise some ideas.
Thank you all again and I'm really excited for the future of the channel!
@TomCalton good luck in Yr new life & don't take any notice of sad idiots, like you said stop watching if you don't like what you see ! again good luck to you and Yr family, hope to see more of Yr videos soon 🙂
Good luck, I am sure you will be able to handle all the obstacles on the way.
@@TomCalton I’m totally amazed that you have to face such things. I enjoy your videos - they’re informative and amusing. Love them. Looking forward to viewing more. Good luck for the future.
@@TomCalton There is a person impersonating you in the replies of comments, beware of that.
Welcome to Canada. You will love being here 🙌❤️
I usually don't comment on videos, but I definitely wanted to share this with you: We, the regular enjoyers of your videos, are the majority. Your channel has become so successful for good reasons. Keep it up! I (and all of us) wish you all the best on your future path.
Cheers
I'd also say, isn't there a 1:99 rule? 1% of viewers cause 99% of grief? 😉
@tubularificationed I agree. Don't let the haters win - keep doing what makes you happy.
I can't agree more!
Same here! Keep up with great job man! We love you. :)
firstly I want to wish you and your family all the best in your new life,may you all be happy.
As for the haters, how pathetic they are, sitting behind their keyboards being judgemental at best and just plain nasty whenever they come across something they don't like, rather than just keep scrolling and moving on. it's so sad that it has come to this, because this was a great channel with great content. all the best Tom, don't let the haters win.
Excited to see what's next Tom! People suck sometimes, but as long as you're creating what you're passionate about we'll all be here to support you!
@@FoxTailWhipz yes definitely
Yes definitely
Thanks for sticking it out on TH-cam. I hope you enjoy Calgary. I think Alberta is a beautiful place! Keep up the good work. ✌️❤️
Tom, I’m in my 80’s now, and it took me a few decades to realize that I did not need to pay attention to the trolls out there. Most people by far, are good, decent and caring. I’ve been an amateur photographer since the early 1960’s, love how being in the field and capturing the light makes me feel (much like fishing a stream in the forest). Your videos of the past, and I’m sure of the future, are entertaining, helpful and appreciated.
Welcome to Canada! I live 2 hours from Calgary so this is kind of mind blowing and awesome to hear. Canada is gigantic so you will never run out of beautiful and different places to capture.
Boring generic cities, ugly weather, crumbling economy, PC rum amok. Life is too short to spend it in Canada.
I’m so glad you mentioned the big lens video, that ways exactly what I was thinking, before you mentioned it. That’s honestly one of my favourite TH-cam videos ever, it’s so much freakin fun.
Omg, ok, I had paused the video to make the above comment, before the huge news! Well done, it’s such a cool part of the work, I’m sure you will love it.
Long time viewer, first time commenting. You and Tom are the reason I got into photography again. Your insights have definitely help direct me to my buying decisions. Keep up the amazing content that you guys produce. I for one highly appreciate it.
Hi Tom, I just wanted to say thank you for all the great content you put out. Your recommendation of the cheap Sony NEX camera helped me, a university student with a limited budget, get my first camera. It was a dream for me to even think about getting a good camera, but your advice made it possible. Since then, I’ve been able to grow as a photographer and videographer, earning some extra money through side projects. I’ve even started my own TH-cam channel, which has grown to over 4,000 subscribers, and you played a big part in that journey.
I know there are always people who can be negative, but please remember that your work has a huge positive impact on so many of us. Keep going you’re making a real difference!❤
I got a NEX on Tom's recommendation too, for an easy street camera and haven't regretted it.
This is awful, Tom. I cannot understand why the haters hate. In my view, you're a star.
"The haters hate"...why the redundancy? Why is there evil in the world? Why let other people affect you? Just ignore them
Haters are major parts for a content creator to grow.
@@PaulMcKillop He's a nobody why would anybody hate him?
@@petersutherland1985 what a wonderful individual you are. You are probably loved by your parents and friends.
Hope you have a wonderful and blessed life.
@@wasir3703 They are all dead 😕
Welcome to Canada! You made a great choice. I emigrated in 1960 from the UK and have loved every minute. You've picked a very lovely part of our country as well. Enjoy!
Left the UK at 17, why wait? lol., now 53 and been living under the sun for 36 years.
Hey Tom, I've been a TH-cam editor for nearly a decade, working for some of the biggest channels on the platform, and last year I needed to hit that "reset switch", sold my content business (corporate videography), sacked in my career, and started my own channel. Sometimes the biggest limiting factor in your career and mental state is your environment. Over the past year, since moving, I have grown my channel, launched a business sorting brand deals for other creators and really found my feet. Whether you're. 20 or 60, it's never too late to hit the reset button and try something new.
Honestly, having a new "map" to be creative in will be your biggest blessing, and it will make content fun again. I know that turning a passion into a career/business can sometimes come at a detriment to the reasons why you picked up a camera in the first place. Your content is phenomenal. Keep being you!
Also, if you need any help sourcing brand deals etc, let me know, more than happy to drop you an email
🙏
Welcome to Canada and good luck.
I recently got into photography and I stumbled upon your channel while doing some research on a new camera. And I just want to say. I absolutely love what you're doing here. It has been extremely helpful to me and I wish you the best on your next stage in your life. Don't let the haters get to you!
Bro Calgary is so beautiful. Please post some photo blog videos of your adventures in the mountains! I hope the move and the change of scenery does wonders for your family!
sadly that isnt half true. Canada is a miserable country I cannot imagine a worse place to be.
@@letstradetogether2897 I've never lived there but I flew into Calgary and traveled through Banff and Jasper. Great spot for a vacation. Is there something wrong with living there?
Canada used to be amazing until Indians flooded the country and completely destroyed everything.
@@letstradetogether2897 Do you even live in Canada? I do, and although Canada has it's issues, there's certainly worse places to live.
It’s such a boring generic place with less culture than mass produced yoghurt.
I have friends in Calgary and visited two years ago and can’t wait to go back, hopefully you enjoy it too and find some peace moving forward.
I have to say, I completely agree and support your decision. Especially the "taking reviews too seriously" thing. I've seen people getting into massive fights and hurling insults over a couple pieces of glass. As if they're not saying these things to a person on the other end. A person with feelings and emotions.
Taking a break the the right call and im definitely excited for the future ❤
I am so sorry for the abuse. Personally, for me, you succeed in giving me a lot of enjoyment and I’ve learned a lot. You have a stile and a good hearted way of delivering content - I really enjoyed your content! Good luck in Canada
Tom, I would like to extend my sincere apologies for the negative, hateful, close minded comments you are receiving. Know that those that support you, far outweighs the number of people that don’t. I also totally understand where you are coming from. Do what you gotta do for you. We support you and enjoy what you have given us so far. Keep your head up no matter what you do.
Don’t worry he’ll back in no time. Congrats on feeding the greedy influencer’s playbook.
I’m new to your channel but I love the shorts you put out. It helps me stay in the know on new tech coming out! Excited for what’s next and the amazing location you’re now in.
Always love your editing style and delivery. Good luck with the changes and excited to see what you make next!
I'm so sorry to hear. I've only found your videos in the last few months, and I've found them an incredible valuable resource for someone just getting into photography.
I'm excited to see the change of scenery and content. Best of luck going forward for you and your family.
You make great videos that inspire to go out and shoot even on my worst days - keep doing what you do! Congrats on the move and stay on the up and up. I'm excited to see what you do next!
i enjoy the used/cheap camera showcases. reminds me to grab my old camera and just take some shots for that nostalgic feel too.
Good on you for looking out for yourself and your family.
Good luck in Alberta, Canada. The Camera Store (TCSTV) vids were among the first camera videos I enjoyed watching on TH-cam - maybe you'll cross paths with them. Plenty to photograph where you've moved to, for sure. :)
Chris Niccols and Jordan Drake started in Calgary, but now they make videos for PetaPixel.
Wow! I didn't see the move coming! Great decision and I wish you all the best in this new chapter.
Social media has become so toxic. So polarised, so argumentative, so tribal.
I closed my Twitter account this week. The place is now so vile, it is unusable.
Tom doesnt sound like a shrinking violet, and yet he's clearly had enough. As Tom says "something needs to change".
Good luck in your new venture in a new land \0/ !
I'm glad someone mentioned how toxic people have become
I sacked off all my 'social' media accounts five years ago. I've never looked back, and I've missed absolutely nothing. I watch TH-cam for my interests and passions, thumb through the comments and post one if I feel it's worth it. My brain is in a much happier place.
@benejpocock I don't blame you, people are really toxic and uncivilized these days, especially on reddit.
I deleted all of my social media accounts years ago and it was the best decision that I have made. No scammers, fake news, toxic communities etc, just a quick setup on youtube is enough for me (although it’s not a perfect platform but at least I can still have control to what information that I’m consuming)
So argumentative..?? No it’s not!!!
Sry couldn’t resist 😂 👊
Hey Tom! I’ve been watching your videos since the start of this year and i have to say, the quality of your videos deserve so much more views!
I particularly love the videos of ‘old’ cameras that you discover and review them as most youtubers nowadays only does reviews of newer cameras. Yes of course we’re able to search old videos on youtube but it’s also great to see how these cameras perform in the present year.
Anyway, do keep up the great work! Loving the content !❤
For every single abusive comment you see on here there are thousands of viewers that enjoyed your content and didn't comment, like or share. I'll stay subbed.
Hi Tom, welcome to Calgary. Love to get together for a coffee and chat about the best places to shoot and which wavelengths to use. There’s tons of wonderful opportunities here and pretty soon we will be into four or five months without rain! That’ll brighten your weathered English soul! (I moved here from Scotland 40 years ago and have never looked back).
Thank you for your video, because of your NEX5 video, that got me into Sony ecosystem and sold almost all my Nikon gears, the best decision in my photography journey , the compactness of the A6000...I'm now taking more photos than ever before.
Just wanted to say I'm starting to learn about photography and I've watched many of your videos, mainly reviews and I enjoy and love the way you explain and develop the products, very easy and simple to non experts in cámaras and photography, don't leave those, your content is very organic and natural.
Welcome to Calgary! :)) I hope you end up popping out to the Art Commons and the Alcove for the Arts. Great photographers, great people, lots of fun. There are so many things to do and see here in Calgary, but if you're not in the mountains you have to put some effort into finding all the neat stuff here.
I assume this popped up on my feed because of the location you’ve moved to. As a Brit loving living in Canada, let me welcome you to Alberta! Goodbye rain, hello sunshine and snow! So much amazing stuff to point your cameras at, and amazing nature therapy to heal your soul. I hope you all settle in quickly, and start enjoying everything this area has to offer. Welcome 😎
I've loved watching your videos. So sorry that people felt it ok to post abuse. All the best to you and your family. And thank you for all the info and content. Big love.
You are one of the reasons I rediscovered my passion for photography. Thanks to you, I started enjoying exploring older cameras and their various features, which I once saw as flaws but now perceive as unique expressions of style. I've realized that a beautiful photograph can be taken with any equipment. Wishing you the best of luck in your new beginnings.
I’m 60 now (yea close to dead) and I can honestly say that the negative comments tend to roll off much easier with age. I do want to say that I watch your videos regularly and enjoy them. And old and cranky! Ignore the noise.
nah instead of frightened and afraid "close to dead", better enjoy everything in life to the fullest because why not? we only life once though many passed away at early age (rip blessed for them)
but lets gooo wonderful journey awaiting for us to explore 🙌🙌
Thanks for the honest words! I'm having a rough week at work where the one big thing I've been working on since January seems to fall apart, and I feel miserable. But as I'm watching this video, I realise I have come a long way and I'm currently just stumbling over some negativity induced by others. Time to find balance again, and continue with doing great things!
Mad respect for you.. I hope the best for you..
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to whats next. Congratulations on the move. I hate that you had to experience the sucker sides of things but hopefully you're able to push through and keep doing what you love and enjoy.
I always loved your more personal camera takes rather than just specs :/ We'll miss you!
Not a TH-camr….Thankgod, but have been a commercial advertising shooter for 43 years. At 68, I practice what I always have since my 20s, and that is: the ONLY opinions of my work, worth, etc. is….my clients and myself. EVERYONE else DOES NOT matter; and sometimes I have to remind them of that. That’s how I maintain my sanity, self worth, and success. “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
Hi Tom, this feels like such a sad turn of events. I came to know you while reviewing Sigma 50, 85 & 105 Art lenses. Bigma has also been such an interesting piece that even caught my young Son's attention, I had to click that replay. Thank you for quite an informative content. Sorry for the few ones that have led you to make such decisions, again your personal space matters. Tom, this has really touched me but never give up your dreams, I and other 90% (I believe) are behind you in your new endeavors. Blessings Brother. Great content 101% 🎉.
Fyi, I recently opened a small studio space courtesy of great reviewers like you. Just know, you helped someone somewhere. Lot's of love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Great to hear some honesty and good luck with your move. I visited Calgary and some national parks and loved it (slightly jealous of your move from Blighty)
I like your gear reviews! Everyone: if you like Tom's videos, watch. If you don't, don't be an idiotic troll. Simple.
Sorry to hear you've had to deal with haters. I don't understand them. Anyway, welcome to you and your family! I hope you all enjoy living in this area. When time allows possibly consider visiting southern Alberta (Montana).
Welcome to Canada, and that a lot of nature and wild life to see in Alberta specially in Banff. Hope u will enjoy your stay in Canada. peace 🤟
Thanks for mentioning about one person’s failure as well. I agreed that a person needs to cover success and failure. It’s part of life. I will continue watching your channel.
Thanks!
You're very welcome. Wishing you all the best with your new start. Feel free to contact me at any time. I have been a photographer since 1973. Had to recreate myself many time over the years.
Thank you - you really didn't need to donate, but it's deeply appreciated!
You, Sir have inspired me. Congratulations to you and your family on new adventures and forcing change. Brave move and well done
Good bye my friend
This is one of my favorite photography review channels, with that sense of humor that makes it so special. I'm sorry for everything you've been through occupationally and I'm proud of how you've battled to keep going. I hate, on the other hand, the haters who post comments that have screwed up your mental health. I've also been having a complicated season due to work and mental and physical health issues... I think the change will be great for you and I hope to see you here again soon. Success and health!
You’re my go to photography channel bro much love and thank you for the great videos! We got you!!!
Welcome to Canada. My spouse and I very much like you accent (we are French Canadians). Hope you will enjoy your move and find hapiness in Calgary.
Thank you Brother. I sincerely appreciate your transparency. I hope and claim much success from you. Negative people will be negative, but that is not on you. Do not let negative people stop you from walking in your purpose. The world wants to pull us away from our purpose, and you have to fight against that. You’ve lifted me multiple times and in multiple ways. I just watched a video from you a few hours ago, while I was feeling sick and needed to take a break from everything. You were just a blessing to me, and had no idea. Those are the comments you don’t get to hear, but the impact you’re making every single day. Reflect on that when the negativity becomes a little too much.
Good luck in Canada,Calgary is a beautiful place.Your biggest challenge ahead is the Canadian winters.I’ll miss your equipment reviews,they have helped me get back into photography.Thanks
Big love dude! And good luck with Canada. I hear they’re a good bunch over there, so you’ll fit right in 🤘🏼
Good luck Tom, love your channel. We emigrated 15 years ago to NZ with my family and it's been the best move we ever made. You have so much to look forward to, it's going to be awesome. Embrace your hard worked opportunity and looking forward to shots of Alberta and BC. 👍 👏
Welcome to Calgary! There’s lots to shoot around southern Alberta as you no doubt know. I look forward to watching your new content from my home area. All the best!
Love your videos! Congrats on the move, sometimes it's those leaps that bring us where we need to be. Thankful for everything you do!
We’re so happy to have you here in Canada Tom so happy I found you and your wonderful videos as I’m starting my photography journey!
Good luck Tom! I only just found your channel recently and I'm glad you're sticking around!
I found your channel via the Sigma video being recommended on my feed. Loved your humor and hoping the Canada relocation goes as fucking amazing as it can, Tom! Sucks to hear the stuff that happened, looking forward to the new content!!
Thanks for the gear insights. I had no idea some people went off the rails in their negative comments on such a simple matter. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR NEW HOME & CITY!
Congratulations! We just did the same thing. My wife, son, 89 year old mother and I moved from Texas to Panama City Panama for a change of lifestyle. COVID crushed our real estate photography business of 12 years and wiped out our event photography business. We have started a new studio and camera rental store here and are enjoying the change. I wish you all the best and will continue to follow your channel. I have enjoyed your video since I discovered you during COVID.
Congrats on the move, what an incredible place to move too. Can’t wait to see some of the content you create there’s some serious bucket list places in Canada for sure.
Congrats on the move mate, I know how it feels! Enjoy the new adventure, we are all looking forward to seeing what's to come!
Love your work and your channel! Especially your very own style of gear review, please keep keep doing them. Your my favorite TH-camr 🙏🏼
I've absolutely loved learning about older cameras through you and your videos. You make them so interesting with your style and sense of humour. So a massive thank you!! Keep up the great work and best of luck in settling into Canada. You'll be missed in the UK.
Realised I wasn't subscribed. Am now!
I'm so glad to have found your channel, Tom. Your takes on photography (including gear) are full of humor and insight. Thanks for all your hard work and good luck in Canada. I'm looking forward to your future videos.
Because of you, i got myself a Fujifilm X-M1. And because of that, I’m completely back on track with my photojournalism/street photography game. Thank you so much. 😊
I found your channel from the Bigma video and I’ve loved it ever since. Your kit reviews are actually a highlight for me, I’m going into college on a videography and photography course for the next two years so having someone make lighthearted, easy to understand reviews on lenses and cameras and stuff is insanely helpful. I love how relaxed you are in your videos, they’re not very high energy which I think matches photography in general and it gives the videos a nice peaceful vibe. You are my favourite photography TH-camr, I hope you stick at it for at least a little while longer and I hope you enjoy Canada!
Also it made me laugh when you said “I grabbed my wife, kids and most importantly my cameras!” 😂
Greatings from Portugal!
I'm following your TH-cam channel since the Covid times when I was stuck at home and wanted to keep learning photography and finding inspiration.
I always loved your videos and find them very easy to digest. I think I've never posted a comment (definitely never posted a bad comment), this is the first time and it is to give you Positive feedback.
I subscribe several TH-cam channels and sometimes I don't have much time to watch, so usually I choose to watch your videos because they are straight to the point and easy, funny, informative and easy to digest.
I wish you all the best in your new journey. And please, don't let a bunch of haters stop you from doing what you have been done so well.
Take care!
Speaking as someone who’s travelled and lived in a lot of places (including Peterborough) I’m sure you will love the excitement and frustrations of moving to a new country.
A good friend once gave this to remember when moving things are hard ‘everywhere’s different, no where’s best’
Good luck
Thanks for all the great content you’ve shared Tom. Calgary is a beautiful part of the world and I hope you and the family find the move exciting. Screw the haters and enjoy exploring your new home!
bro I find your videos, very informative. Thank you for what you do, I'm sorry that people finds it hard to be respectful when expressing their differences
Always enjoyed your approach, it stands out as something different and enjoyable and wish you the best with where ever this takes you. You have a compelling authenticity which is rare.
Social media is exhausting and many people are just miserable. Of course many have their reasons, but it isn't helping others to do better. Crushed people crushing others. Its not something anyone wants to handle.
Amazing mate, all the best for the future. Quite a few people in my circle have left the UK whether that's moving to the UAE, EU or the US. All the best to you all. Do what keeps you sane / happy. We live such a short life, there is no room for depression.
Thank you indeed for great inspiration, lovely sense of humour and lots of relevance.
Good luck in Canada - I am so much looking forward to following you Tom💪📸
I found this channel recently and it’s horrible that people send so much hate over very informative videos about camera tech.
Your gear reviews were actually what got me into photography and more interested in the tech surrounding it.
Thank you for making those videos, wishing you the best and excited to see what you’ll do next!!
Your TH-cam videos are always inspiring. One of them even prompted me to buy the Olympus E-PL8, and I'm really happy with it. It complements my Lumix X80 perfectly. Thank you so much!
Sometimes change is good. Especially if you link it to the change of your town! I loved your gear reviews about all the unnoticed cameras. It’s something no one is doing here in a good way. Looking forward to your upcoming content.
Looking forward to the new content! As a Canadian living in the UK, really hope you enjoy your time in Calgary! ☺️
Never seen any of your videos before, not sure why this was pushed to my feed. But... I am glad it was and I have subbed. I look forward to seeing you life going forward. (A fellow Brit living in Malaysia)
Wow. Great to hear a very honest reflection and exciting to see what comes next. For some reason I just realised I hadn't subscribed but just have!
Congratulations on your new adventure! Definitely looking forward to it! The haters will weed them self out eventually it's a shame you have to deal it for now, heres to new adventures and larger horizons!
I found your Shorts about 4 months ago and have enjoyed them every time they’ve popped up. The gear reviews made me think seriously about using adapters to use old lenses on my every day carry. Maybe someone would’ve gotten me there eventually, but you were the one to do it. All of this to say I’ve found value in your videos, and even the little quick shorts have made me think critically about my own gear.
Life changes are difficult and scary. But I am confident that this will be a turn for the better for you and your family. Best wishes for the upcoming future, and thank you for opening photography to us all here in TH-cam!
Tom your videos are fantastic and informative, please don’t stop making them. I’ve learned so much from you! I hope you enjoy Calgary! It’s full of kind and generous people like yourself
Wait a minute. I am just getting into photography and honestly learned most of the things I know now from this channel. The way you compare and try to be as objective as possible (or explain why you are biased in some cases) gives so much nuance/perspective from which I think I learned the most actually. The way you talk and are able to explain complex matters or considerations you have to make (as I learned most things in photography seem to be some kind of trade off) in such a simple way is refreshing and makes this hobby so much less scary to get into.
I think I'm the type of target demographic you don't realize is here, and I think we're the least likely to comment on video's as we're learning as much as we can from different video's and channels at once. I think we often don't take the time to show appreciation, and certainly don't take the time to post messages of hate, because only people that actually enjoy doing this as a form of sadism will prefer doing this instead of switching to a channel they might potentially enjoy watching more.
What I'm trying to say is that the people who learn from you, enjoy watching you and are getting something positive out of this are so busy learning or distracted that they are less likely to comment imo. The ones who are in this hobby but actually get most pleasure out of bullying or down-talking others will be the ones taking their time to post such hateful messages.
If it helps, I come from a plethora of different hobbies and try to keep my TH-cam subscriptions a bit more focused, because every good video in a certain field distracts me and I've realized that combining too many hobbies has a negative impact on the quality, balance and enjoyment I get out of it. But it is this exact channel where I decided to press the "subscribe" button for the first time within the photography part of TH-cam and I've learned so much in such a short period of time, and I am starting to enjoy this hobby more and more.
Looking at a Canon Eos R50 right now (remember: I'm very new to this), and the idea itself excites me. I've already saved a couple of video's of yours to rewatch when I want to dive deeper.
Change is good, and I hope it brings the best out of you. Looking forward to it.
Cheers
So sad, I am tearing up and I really feel for you, I just don't understand these bullies. I hope you heal quickly. You are smart, driven, passionate, honest and resourceful. You'll make a good go of Canada! Remember, as you said, there's us peeps that appreciate you and your sincere reviews and we outnumber these bullyboys!
I have been watching all of your TH-cam shorts, and I've shown em to my friend too. I love them, I really do.
There isn't a single video I've watched which should get a hate comment.
Don't stop creating what you love
Hey Tom, just wanted to say that I really enjoy your channel. It's a different, positive perspective on photography and videography. Those tech reviews about older cameras are actually my favorite. I really hope to see some of that 😊. Good luck in Calgary!
I always enjoyed your way of presentation. Interesting facts combined with personal opinion, knowledge and a sense of humour. Many thanks! Good luck for you and your family in Canada!
Hi Tom, I started watching your video from the start in 2020. I loved the self-mockery in them and I thought they were very amusing. Especially different than most serious review videos out there. Keep up the positive energy! I hope you'll do wonderful work in Canada too.
Good luck Tom to you and your family, hope you find a wonderful future in Canada. I'm glad "It's time to say goodbye" wasn't you leaving TH-cam permanently because I enjoy watching your channel. Looking forward to seeing the new you in Canada. Take care and good luck to you all.
Tom, thanks for your content. Let it be some kind of a pause for your channel but not a goodbye. Greetings from Kazakhstan ❤🙏🙌
Big respect for showing such vulnerability mate, it takes alot! And also looking forward to seeing how your channel is going to evolve with your new location. Keep up the amazing work 📸
I wish you all the best man! your videos have helped me and most of your viewers in ways you would never understand, I really do hope you continue your youtube journey with prosperity, may God bless you for your work man!
