There’s a famous quote from Josef Koudelka that says "I never stay in one country more than three months. Why? Because I was interested in seeing, and if I stay longer I become blind." I find this to be very true. I live in Tokyo, and I often find the city uninspiring for my style of photography. However, whenever I travel, I discover beauty in the small things and details around me. For 2025, I have a New Year’s resolution: I want to challenge myself creatively to find inspiration in my own city, to try to see my surroundings from a different perspective. I also agree that shooting digitally can be uninspiring, especially when you’re struggling with your subject. Shooting film black and white is a good solution, and is cheap as well. I’m looking forward to seeing your work man. I love the new videos and the photos you've shared. Merry Christmas
Jesus man, i used to watch your videos everyday. i would get home and watch your day in the life's, your BMX videos and you were a huge part of my childhood on you tube. its great to see you are still doing well and i wish the best for you in this lifetime Augie
yooo Augie please put the old vlogs public again. I know it might interfere with your vision for the channel but watching the new vlogs makes me nostalgic and wanting to check out the old ones again as well (plus it might add a little extra ad-revenue for you)
it made my day seeing you featured in a, "daily dose of internet" video, i have followed you for years and your videos are always an experience. keep up the good work, we love you
Been watching you since I was a teenager, not in the ideal financial situation I want to in as a single father now but seeing you pop up again has inspired me to pick up a long board again. Thank you happy holidays 🤙🏼
I never stopped watching your stuff, but it's just hit me now, after watching this. That you really found something your passionate about(photography), rooting from your previous passions. And I respect it. Love seeing you grow, man! Being a long time fan, seeing you in K&M is so nostalgic! I'm excited for the stuff that you're gonna put out!
I've been thoroughly enjoying your India series. Brings back a sense of nostalgia, as I used to live in India as a child, due to my father's job. To be honest, I haven't watched a video of yours, since your bmx / modelling days, but always loved the way you filmed and directed your videos. I recently came across your vlogs again and can see the immense growth in, not only you as a person, but the substance and quality of your videos (not that they lacked before). I absolutely adore your photography and truly believe, in my humble opinion, that you have found your "calling". Please keep these vlogs coming, Augie :)
Been a fan for years and you just popped up in my notifications for the first time in mad long. Good to see you still grinding though ! You’ve improved a lot over the years with your filming I remember when it was just bmx videos now we got blockbuster films 😂
Seagulls get a bad wrap . But have you ever sat and just watched them when a storm is coming in or wind has picked up . They have a ball dive bombing each other . They look so happy 😊 it's a real joy to watch .
ive never been to k&m before, I’ve ordered from B&H before but have never been there in person, Its on my list to see the both places in person some day!
AUSTIN AUSTIN AUSTIN! happy holidays bossman!! you 5:17 bird shot. you may not think so but... CHEF'S KISS BROTHA. the bird, the bridge, to the glare in the window. OH MY. trip was def worth. thanks for posting, post soon.
You're not alone. I've been struggling seeing things in NYC too...seems to get tougher every year. Inevitable when you're out non-stop for years on end though
i really like what you did in the video where you broke down the roll of film. Maybe do one of thos videos a little bit more often so it incentivize you to shoot the 35mm more. great video man ive really been living for em
I never heard of that camera store before. I know of bandh and Adorama. I use KEH. But I have gotten most of my film cameras at thrift stores and and monthly camera show I used to help promote online. My payment was film and cameras. And they had one vendor who had a $5 table. So I picked up canon EOSs and Nikon N 90 and N90s bodies for $5 or $2.50 a piece and they worked when batteries were put in. Gelatin Labs is in Maplewood , NJ. I use another lab in NJ that I always go to. They do good work. And I can buy all types of film and they are also a camera store.
Augie, here Tommy from Chile. This editing. Those adventures. Man, i'm trying so hard to find my style, my tone and yours videos are so idk honest. it's super inspiring.
K & M like the old days what was your buddies name that worked there? You other model buddy I see his image all over and love that dude! Great roller skater he is!!!!! Thanks for making content again AA.
I've never been to NY. So it's cool to see what you see. But yeah, same thing where im at. Just the same shit over and over again. plus its non stop rain which is driving me fcken crazy..
I know this sounds a little weird, but I’m in the west coast getting into film and producing a couple short films, it’s crazy how two very different people on the opposite sides of America both are sharing somewhat same experiences.
it's a mindset to not find imagery/inspiration where you are! you're in one of the best cities on earth, new on every block daily. get out there and keep your eyes open, change up your gear - stay grateful for your surroundings.
There's an aspect of gonzo journalism that you seem to embody. I assume that you've seen fear and loathing, but have you seen Chevy chase's rendition in the movie where the Buffalo roam? Many have never heard of it
advice: there is inspiration to be found in every normal corner or every normal street. document the routine. find the nuances. focus on the detail. embrace the normal.
Interestingly many go to New York because of how much there is to do, What I think Augie is reflecting is instead how little authenticity there is to capture.
I literally was just at that pier yesterday got some nice shots of a cruise ship pulling out and I actually saw that guy with the jumpsuit he's in one of my pictures😭🤣
I want to like K&M but I’ve never had a good experience there. My first time there the guy said he didn’t want to show me a lens because he thought I didn’t have any money. The second time he told me I didn’t know anything about photography. Folks are wildly disrespectful.
I can’t believe you are not feeling inspired and can’t find things you want to photograph. You are in New York City. There is a lifetime of things to photograph. I live in Seattle and do street photography. What is one todo if you want to do SP and there are few to no people on the street in downtown? I’d love to return to NYC but I am not rich. There are things all around you to photograph. Open your mind and you will see. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

The clip of you playing the guitar and tonka wagging his tail is so precious
I wonder what the song is any ideas?
yooo Augie please put the old vlogs public again. I know it might interfere with your vision for the channel but watching the new vlogs makes me nostalgic and wanting to check out the old ones again as well (plus it might add a little extra ad-revenue for you)
🔥🔥🔥
I agree.
He saidnhe would release them
I thought he did? He said he was going to like a week ago
nah fr. watching some og bmx content would bring me so much joy
He said he was going to when he was still in India I thought
it made my day seeing you featured in a, "daily dose of internet" video, i have followed you for years and your videos are always an experience. keep up the good work, we love you
I was just about to comment this.
Xqc reacted to it
Me too, made me so happy

I came across your channel yesterday and cannot stop watching, it makes me feel comfortable. Just peace and your vision is truly amazing!

Mee too 👍🏻
I truly miss your BMX videos. They were all great videos classic.
Seagulls get a bad wrap . But have you ever sat and just watched them when a storm is coming in or wind has picked up . They have a ball dive bombing each other . They look so happy 😊 it's a real joy to watch .
One of the first!!! Love you Augie, keep up the story telling!!!!
man the snow was insane. i was lucky enough to capture it on the 21st when it first started falling. felt like a kid
so blessed to watch your videos on a more regular basis augie, much love
ive never been to k&m before, I’ve ordered from B&H before but have never been there in person, Its on my list to see the both places in person some day!
the way you put your images throughout the video is great. awesome to see you work reflected. even if its seagulls. dope
Angel! Damnit... Time flies

AUSTIN AUSTIN AUSTIN! happy holidays bossman!! you 5:17 bird shot. you may not think so but... CHEF'S KISS BROTHA. the bird, the bridge, to the glare in the window. OH MY. trip was def worth. thanks for posting, post soon.
Ending shot singing to Tonka was great.

So I gotta say that I definitely did not hate the little picking and singing at the end. No matter what I always dig your music in these videos👍
It's amazing the vibes you create with these videos! ❤

I truly love the photo at 5:19, there’s so much going on, it screams NYC to me

Augie, whats keeping you in new york? Why not move to a new city and start fresh?
that last clip was amazing

Whats the song in the beginning? 0:53
Austin what are you shooting the video on and what are you shooting the digital imagery on?
advice: there is inspiration to be found in every normal corner or every normal street. document the routine. find the nuances. focus on the detail. embrace the normal.
Interestingly many go to New York because of how much there is to do, What I think Augie is reflecting is instead how little authenticity there is to capture.
I JUST LOVE YOUUUUU

You will achieve your dreams, I believe in you.
I literally was just at that pier yesterday got some nice shots of a cruise ship pulling out and I actually saw that guy with the jumpsuit he's in one of my pictures😭🤣

Daily Dose of Augie 😉🫶🏻
Nice!!!
I want to like K&M but I’ve never had a good experience there. My first time there the guy said he didn’t want to show me a lens because he thought I didn’t have any money. The second time he told me I didn’t know anything about photography. Folks are wildly disrespectful.
Even the dog thinks this is f’d up
but why the hell would anyone place an add after a min
Are you and Panza still friends ?
Link up with Sneako!
A.. Inspiration? Hard wok to get back inspired? I know you will find it. Dig your mental cruising.
Augie, did you know you were featured on Daily Dose of Internet?
YES SIR
2:58.. time for you to move along dude
