"this pictures will live longer than my life, so i think thats special" this.
Love Kazu and his pictures - seems a super humble fella but he’s low-key building one of the strongest bodies of work of any photographer featured on this series - truly such a deft and subtle eye - look forward to buying his book one day - keep em comin Paulie!
A high IQ plus a good eye plus a good camera plus working a lot. A pleasure to watch.
He's different than a lot of walkie talkie shooter and seem to consider composite and situations more than running up on peeps in midtown which is cool but I dig his style. Go Kazu

He’s lightning fast
Photography is life and death for this man. Watch out. Kazu is comin' for real.
I've probably watched this twenty times, and today I noticed something pretty amazing watching this. At 4:55 you can clearly his back and how the shirt he's wearing has sun faded around his bag and camera strap. True dedication
This guy has been a photographer for 3 years? He was born with a great eye! Increadible
I find it hard to believe the dude is only photographing for 3 years. Absolutely amazing shots.

He mentions that he studies the pioneers a lot and reads a lot, maybe that will help him a lot.
This guy has taken the best Walkie talkie images on the day that I’ve seen in the series so far. Thanks for sharing Paulie. You’re opening up the conversation for all of us to hear. Love from South Africa!
“When I read his book I feel like Im watching a movie” such a great line, we should all strive for that in our pictures
Man i am addicted to this channel
Kazu understands the fundamentals of photography. He’s going to be a legend!
This guy is the real deal. Very much in the Winogrand tradition.
This was one of my favourite walkie talkie episodes so far. I love what he said about the difference between composition in colour vs black and white. As soon as his images went up on screen you could see it made perfect sense. Some great shots on the day too - the woman lying down on the steps was particularly memorable. 👌
jeezz ... mesmerized at the amount of amazing photos he took on this walk alone! composition just seems so natural for him. can't wait for the book.
Kazu's positioning and timing is so impeccable. You can tell he has so much experience not only spotting moments but getting in the right place and waiting to get the shot he wants. Lots of inspiration from seeing him work!!

This comment!!
7:00 put me into shock. That wouldn't have looked as good in color I feel.
Wow, a lot of great shots among his examples. IMO his B/W shots are much better than his Color shots. He's got a great eye for composition and framing. Well done. Thanks for sharing
The tune the jazz band is playing about 4:44 in is a Sam Rivers tune called "Beatrice", if anyone is curious. NYC has to be the only place in the world you can hear a street band playing Sam Rivers. Miss that town. Great video!! Love this series, I'm hooked.
Kazu, your photos are brilliant !
This guy is different! Kazu is going to be a legend for sure! I've watch this episode so many times, i always comeback for some inspiration from kazu! Thanks for this episode! We want Kazu part 2 at somepoint.
KAZU!!!! love this dude and his pictures. Honestly, without this wonderful serries, I wouldnt know about half these dudes. You're doing fantastic work paulie, keep showing these fantastic artists off!
photography is like a diary entry. love that so much
He is the real real photographer who is coming a very rich cultural background which reflects on his work .. amazing , pure
My favorite walkie talkie yet. Really great compositions in his work and would definitely be interested in a book when he decides to do one
Ah yess a fellow b&w shooter and darkroom printer!!! Great stuff!!
I love Kaz's photos! I am proud that Japanese people are appearing on this channel.
Just want to say I really like this series man, it's interesting to hear the thoughts of street photographers and see a bit of their process.
I'm watching from Fukushima, Japan the prefecture next to Yamagata. I use to skate and I've been doing photography job too. very happy to see Japanese guy on this channel. mad respect to Kazu san!
The legend is here, he is gonna be famous in many years to come 🎉🎉🎉
BRO! the shot against of the girl in the white dress on the stairs. Was a stunning.
love the walkie talkie series! Would you ever consider visiting some of these guys home and document them printing their pics? I would love to see their set-ups, watch them print and scan and their thought processes
Never stop this series, truly so insightful and well made.
It’s been a long time coming. Great episode. You can tell he’s such a nice humble guy 🙏
Best Walkie Talkie yet, Paulie. Kazu, you have a way of seeing that reminds me of Winogrand. And why don’t more NYC photographers go to Central Park?
He moves so fast and isn’t scared to take more then one photo! I love it!
I love his attitude! He is amazing. And incredible. And dope. And he seems like a good hugger.
I love Kazu's work and find it very relatable as an outsider in America. He's got an important perspective. Great episode Paul and Kazu.
Men your content its incredible. Im from Argentina, and today gonna get my first roll for the inspiration of this videos. Thankssss!
Such a nice humble photographer, and he's good at his craft too.
I feel like Kazu is my best friend through the screen. Love his mindset so much.
his skating background helps so much
I love his pictures. It is so refreshing to see he gets all the elements of composition and timing, lights and shadows, storytelling. Wow! New York must be a Luna park for photographers.
finally Kazus walkie talkie is here!!!
This series of yt single handedly got me interested in street photography and introduced a bunch of photographers I would never have heard of otherwise ❤
I used to live there. I always carried my two cameras in my backpack. There are so many things to photograph there. It was a lot of fun for me.
Yes what ive been waiting for. Really wanted to see how Kazu is behind the camera, his pictures are so damn good. Him, Gee, reuben and matt are really convincing me to go black and white and stay that way for a bit.
Finally! Great to see him on. I really like his work and attitude. お疲れ様です!
Great title 'line of sight' the mum said to her daughter in passing. Hard to beat the trilogy Greater Atlanta, South Central and South East. Steinmetz is indeed a wonderful photographer. I'd love to see Kazu work outside of NYC. He has a beautiful sense of space in some of his photos made in the natural environment.
so great, good work kazu
incredible
best series on youtube
Kazu has great composition and subjects in his photos, great story also.
Excellent episode!
Been waiting for this one. Let’s go Kazuuuu
At last! been waiting for this episode for a long time!
the sound of the advance lever is so addicting !!!!
Great pictures and an even greater attitude. Wishing him the very best of luck
I've watched about 10 or so of these films and what I find so interesting is how all their characters are so different from each other but all are incredibly articulate in their own way, though are lot of the credit must also go to Paulie B here for his interview style and editing work.
Brilliant work!
finally kazu's episode! been waiting for this one!!!

I love this series so much. Great work Paulie on keeping it up and introducing me and other viewers to different perspectives of street photography. Super inspiring and makes me want to go to NY so bad
Most relatable artist you’ve had on here yet. I love his philosophy and mindset towards the art. I see why you two hang so much!
Love your videos bro 👍🏻
So many great jems in this episode... both in images and conversation. I think his breakdown of color vs B&W was really interesting, characters vs the scene.
Nice !!!!
Good stuff.
What a great human being.❤
The pic with the lady on the staircase is crazy 🔥
Damn, similar story with this homie! Feel like im running out of time!!! Had a bike accident and that's why i take pics now!
