#VanNeistat #TheSpiritedMan #Photography
We've got a new baby in our family and the adjustment has made my head a little squirly. So I've re-upped my Better Help subscription to help me maintain my mental health. So I don't do nothing stupid. Betterhelp has a questionnaire signup process with simple multiple choice questions that Betterhelp uses to match me with the most appropriate therapist.
We use therapy for all different kinds of issues this time around. I Needed a therapist to help me talk through a specific challenge mainly work woman kids. I fill out the questionnaire, a therapist from Better Help gets back to me in a day or two and the therapy begins. Better Help is an excellent resource for learning how to be in therapy.
If you have an interest in therapy or suspect you need therapy, Better Help is a terrific place to start. Thank you Better Help for sponsoring this episode! I Love film photography even though I'm no good at it or maybe because I'm no good at it I Just like doing it and I almost don't care about the results. Film photography is one of my hobbies and hobbies are for fun. Film photography is great for three fundamental reasons.
One, the cameras are cool. Uh, I paid 200 and something bucks for this from a Japanese shop on eBay If memory serves reses, they rebuilt it or you know, went through it, made sure it works perfectly and it does. I've always wanted one of these ever since. I Saw Jeff Wheeler with one in 1982 and I paid extra for the black model bought this Power Winder for 20 bucks or so, just listen to this thing all.
I carved this grip out of a firewood log Walnut I think it looks Pro but it ain't Canon marketed it to moms who wanted to look Pro but the pros used Nikons back then Nikon F something or other I can play with the Iris Slf stop or the shutter speed or if I'm in a panic I can set this thing to program and it's automatic but I still got to focus it manually. If you're looking to start film photography I say don't start with a manual, start with an Olympus Stylus It's like a sturdy small little weatherproof capsule. fits in your pocket nicely. You don't even need to bother researching.
just get the Olympus Stylus I like that I don't really know what I'm doing and I like that I have no idea what the picture is going to look like until I get it back from the processor. Which brings us to the second reason: Film photography is great. Number two, Your local Photoshop I Love the process of my local Photoshop I Love my ride down to the Photoshop I Love the stacks of old, unfamiliar equipment I love that it's not a chain I love the glass cases full of old cameras and I love the unspoken disdain we film folks have for digital photography. I Drop off my role of film and if I'm out of film I buy four rolls at a time, why four? Because the little shelf I built fits four film boxes between the trim where the Shelf is mounted I get matte 4x6 prints with a white border and I greedily open my prints as soon as I get outside, the Photoshop did they come out, did they come out usually I get one or two per roll that are pretty good. And the third great thing about film photography: I Love making the albums I Love making the albums. The reason I'm doing this video is so that I can catch up on my photo albums which I've neglected for 3 years I Love making albums I try to keep the photos in chronological order which requires some sleuthing. Okay, he has longer hair but he looks younger and I see diapers sticking out three exactly two and change. This is 2020 computer free.
no computer praise Allah Bar hasem. thank the Lord My old favorites were these plastic jobs that come in a sleeve. Then they stopped making them and I cannot find them anywhere. so I switched to these long and skinny ones that are made for professionals.
but they're too tall and top heavy for my shelves. so I I may do, but they're not optimal. So for this video, I searched and searched for a new style of photo album, but most are just too preci for my taste. like they contain original copies of the Declaration of Independence and then I Found these and I like these on this week's Patreon only video shoot shop album.
that's film photography to justify the money and the time. You got to give some of them away and they got to be framed and the frames got to be right.
Love it! If you want to double your pleasure, have a look at getting into b&w developing and printing..
Fantastic, analog video.
I started with a Pentax K1000 taking candids for my high school’s yearbook the 1st semester of my senior year and was able to transition to an independent study with my art teacher and learned how to develop black and white film. Bought a Nikon out of Basic and Advanced Training that I used to capture candids for my fraternity chapter, which I developed at the one-hour photo place I worked at part time. 😎
Van is more autistic than me and i thought that wasn't possible
Just got all my scans back from the lab. Had film from 2017 through 2023 and it felt like going back into a time capsule of my life. Had shots from college all the way through marriage and first child. Everything was shot of Fuji disposable cameras and a Cannon Sureshot.
People seem to forget that photography should be fun. Perhaps give larger formats a try and shoot slide film. You can make really cool displays out of them since they are not negatives. You can back-light them in a diy frame and it looks super cool. Cheers. Hit me up if you ever want to borrow a camera.
I had a Canon A1. The Canon F1 was the pro targeted camera. The A1 had more helper features, because it was for armatures, hence the A. I believe AE stood for Amateur Entry. The pros ended up buying the A series as second cameras and loved them just as much. I also use to get my prints in matt with borders, made it look more art like. Without white boarders the developer cuts a bit of the image off. I had lens filters and all sorts of stuff. The whole kit got stolen. When I was a late teen there was a photo developer next the the cafe my Anuti owned and knew the owner. The owner showed me how the prints where developed. This is where I learnt about pushing light, and how you push the exposure in post development. And that certain films popped more colour than others. Most chemists use standard exposure settings based on the film. The independent developers would adjust under exposed shots and even sharpen out of focus subjects, if they knew the photographer was a student, or armature. Would have been one of the most interesting jobs. Seeing photos of everyone's life all day long. That's all gone now.
I love all photography but I have no idea what I am doing.
Imagine paying 200+ for an AE1. But he is o honestly correct about everything.
Congratulations! When I was 12, I worked all summer in a camera shop to earn my Kalimar SR 200 camera. I still have it. I shoot digital video now, but there are some things I miss about my completely manual adjustable camera.
I managed to find a free photography course at my local collage, it’s in the evenings and doesn’t cost me anything, I am on my 3rd course now
As I'm watching this my Mju & F4 are on the shelf staring at me, wondering if I still love them.
Congratulations on the new human!
Film goes in the fridge. Who would have thought the Styles would become trendy. I used to keep one in my shoulder pocket for very quick action shots especially if too dangerous to use my main camera. Went through a few of them. Nikon all the way. FM2 for extreme extreme photography. If the FM failed because of conditions you’re probably in trouble. I suspect only nostalgic to people who didn’t shoot thousands of rolls of film and never want to see the red light of a dark room ever again.
Thank you for making your videos, they always seem to come at the right time to make me do things I want to or need to do.
Je t’aime Van Neistat le monde est rond lorsque je vois les vidéos. Merci
Van, you just unlocked one of the best memories I have but haven’t been accessing for so long. Mom always had photography albums under her bed, and I always loved to go there and get them to take a look.
I have no idea why but this vlog made me feel so good, thanks Van
