If anyone was wondering...Cameras used for filming: Nikon D850, Canon XF400, Sony a7 III and the stills were taken with the Nikon D5. If you LOVED this episode would you please share it with someone so we can make more? Thank you

Great video, really like the last scene where he's looking at the photobook you made for him. What service did you use for printing?

I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. I never watch vids this long on KZread. Magnificently shot, directed and edited. Made something ordinary really quite interesting. That’s story telling right there. Well done

Even when time is going to change the culture, there are people like you and Brian who still share pieces of passed time... So far my favorite video that you have made!!!

I know you can't see me at the moment, but I'm standing up and clapping, bravo Jared, bravo ...... great story

thank you

I am sure this took a lot of work but it is by far the best thing I have seen you do on KZread. This was all positive and presented something that can be valuable for photographers. I am a CPA and not professional. Photography is just an expensive little hobby I do for my own enjoyment. I think the videos people do of Nikon or Sony or Canon stories of how they do business and why they do or don't do this or that are getting tired. This type of thing really demonstrates you as a photographer and why people should listen to you. Kudos.

Sheri's Dad ran a typewriter shop on 32nd street. It was 1961. I knew I would need a typewriter in college for all the papers so I learned typing in high school, 40 words per minute. I was visiting Sheri from my home in the Berkshires and she said her dad had a deal for me. It was an old typewriter he revived in his shop and I could have it for 5 bucks. It was a big, heavy black Royal or something, like yours only bigger. Had to be 40 pounds. I picked it up, thanked her Dad and hand carried it to the train. I had parked north of the city. At my stop, somehow I ended up kind of jumping off the train while it was just leaving. I was able to stop with the heavy beast in both hands by crashing my back into a platform post. Whew! I cherished the old machine at school. It felt the best under my fingertips while typing the stories for creative writing and journalism. Talk about a labor of love--like your photos. Thanks for the memory, Jared

Wow Jared I love this documentary. Great job.

Really nice story. I really like how you put this together starting with your family typewriter and progressing into the owner's story and pointing out the photo opportunities along the way. Really good job on the video and the photos you took.

I am surprised and shocked that anyone still owns a typewriter and actually uses it. This video was nicely put together and edited. Good job, Jared

Amazing story, amazing production, amazing interaction, and amazing presentation. Can't overstate how great Jared is as a storyteller and presenter, and how Stephen, Dan, and Todd bring everything together to make such a product of passion so crisp and cleanly-produced.

Revised comment to give credit where it's due! FroKnowsPhoto has had extremely high production values for years, and I can't even compare your team to its nominal peers on KZread. It's easy to step up gear/manpower game while not matching it with skill and finesse, but you guys have managed to do it unlike anyone else on the platform that I've seen, whilst keeping it exciting and fresh. I wanted to let you know that we recognize the little things: the sound clip and track mixing, crisp transitions, real mindfulness in cinematography, and just... the passion oozing from every interaction with subjects or your content matter from the entire team! People can say what they want, but you guys put intense work ethic and real care into your work and it really shows. Much love, and a little gushing.

You are not just a photographer you are a genius man

I love how Brians face lit up when presented with the photo book at the end.

Fantastic video Jared. Great story, great photos, awesome production (bravo Todd). One of the best videos from you.

Hi Jarod, I'm in my early 70's and back before computers and word processing a Typewriter was all I used as a young person. My dad had a "Royal" just like in your photo story and I remember, like you and your brother, typing away in his office on the Royal typewriter to keep me busy during the holidays when I spent a day in the city with my dad. Memories! Thanks for a really wonderful photo story, great images and wonderful trip down memory lane, well done!

This was truly amazing. Fantastic storytelling and great to see how the images turned out. And on top of it all, you made an old man happy and helps get the word out for his business. Thank you.

A fantastic photo story. Probably your best. Great job.

Love this video, and loved hearing that things got going again for him after he had to shut his business down. My favourite part was him looking through the beautiful photo book, he obviously found it quite moving. What a lovely thing to do for him!

I own about 18 typewriters, most from the 1930s. This was a GREAT documentary. The photos are wonderful. You're a gifted photographer. Thanks for telling this story.

This was beautifully produced and the guy is super nice and knowledgable. Also your typewriter is gorgeous.

This is one of the best photography videos I have seen in a long time. So much ground covered...making a photo story, printing images (can't emphasize that enough), highlighting a small business and its owner that has so much to offer and printing a book too. Thank Fro. Job well done! Do more, please.

Thanks Philly Typewriter for your passion and to FroKnowsPhoto (and entire crew) for showcasing this excellent story!

Wow, what an impressive story you all put together. You totally captured some powerful emotions of his passion. A very well rounded job and the photo book was the cherry on the cake. This is one of my favorite videos you have done. This ranks up there with the video you did about your mothers passing. This video made me want to go out and look for a typewriter. When he was looking at his photobook for the first time, I could feel the sense of pride in what he has been doing for most of his life! Well done!

Love you jared for doing something so beautiful. Your Kindness shows. Really. Its about helping and reviving something extremely important. All those feelings about how a typewriter come alive. God Bless

In about 1980 or so, my mom brought home an old Selectric because her workplace had bought a Digital DEC system and took most of the typewriters out of service. That thing was my favorite toy for a while. Gave me a leg up on computers because I knew how to type before I could afford a home PC.

I love this, Fro! Like you, I love documentaries. I admire craftsmanship and those that keep it alive. Thank you for putting this piece together, and I look forward to more work like this from the Fro team.

Looooove this story! I learnt to touch type on my mum’s typewriter (checking the model with mum) in the 90s. After hearing this story I am going to keep on searching for a Vintage Singer sewing machine repairer in the UK! This has really inspired me to go down the route of story telling. 2 months after having purchased my first camera I really seem to be attracted to product and portrait photography. Thank you both for your time and effort.

I see a lot of videos Jared, but this one is the best, and the importance of printing, make albums, books, print any photo, every photo, something you can touch is much more beautiful in our heart's

Your photo story vids are hands down my favorites and they keep getting better. Thanks for all you do to help teach photography and encourage creativity.

What an awesome story. This reminded me of the Typewriters we had in our family and how a key would stick, and 1 of them had a dropped letter. This was brilliant and a huge boost for a small business as well.

quality gets found everywhere, even on a typewriter doc. Although the topic is possibly the least click bait imaginable, your vid held my attention.

Man. What a great story. I love seeing two combined passions, from two generations. Modern DSLR photographer capturing the passion of a previous generation. In this case a typewriter! Jared, the one thing I took away from this was my own memories of typing class, and the familiar snap, clicks and bings from a typewriter. It makes me think I can't ever go mirror-less on my Nikon. I love the sound of the shutter. Perhaps it's nostalgia and not very practical, but those old typewriters are the sound of a shutter to me, and I love it! Great production!

Amazing video and it makes me want to go out and capture my own stories. Keep up the amazing work Jared and can’t wait to see the next video in the series!!

I love what you are doing with these. It's not just a documentary. I can tell you actually want to connect with the history.

I was so excited for this video. Thanks for sharing. The photos were amazing as well. Its wild to think that in this day and age there is still a need for someone to repair a typewriter. I was absolutely fascinated the entire time.

started working for IBM in '83 and writing contracts on IBM Selectric, even had error correction (Typex) which was used many times. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

As a new photographer, this video left me feeling very inspired to get out there and find stories to document. Thank you!

Great work, Jared. A story with a lot of heart, both for typewriters and for photography, and you told it so well. Inspiring.

Brilliant job all - cant wait to see more of these!

Fantastic story; well told and brilliantly pieced together. Thanks for everything you do. Even though you love it, it's still a lot of work. It's not only appreciated; it's inspirational. Thanks again.

That was great, Jared. Thanks for sharing your experience with your typewriter.

You are so cool. I love that you do this. Your are such an inspiration. What a beautiful gift to Brian.

Awesome video Great story.

Jared, this is the “type” of content that I really enjoy from you. Your attitude, footage and photos are all great. This is a great story and you captured it well. Way better than arguing with people talking about shooting jpg. Less drama, more pro content.

would love if this type of video got the same views as bs drama. And I am still correct in that other case as well.

This is definitely one of my favourite pieces of content you guys have created thus far! I watch the vast majority of your videos and like them but the production value and the story telling (both in the video and the photos themselves) is especially fantastic here. Awesome job!

Fantastic piece of work that you and the team put together Jared! I thoroughly enjoyed watching. It was technically excellent, but I could feel the heart and detail that you poured into this project. I appreciate the effort and look forward to more of these frotostories in the future.

love your stories and photos and personal attention and details, typewriter was in our schools brings back memories as u say, think of our computers and they are typewriters of today!

Captivating story Fro. Love that in the middle of your story a customer comes in...it just added so much more!

Wow, what a thing you've done. "nobody's ever put this kind of attention on anything I've ever done in my life". that sums it up pretty good.

Fantastic job on this video and the photos are amazing!! Brings me back to my childhood and the typewriter we used to have in our house that I would play on as a kid. Thanks for putting this together!!

A very nice documentary, loved every bit of it! Can't wait to see more of this. Really top notch quality! Deserves to be on TV.

This is really good stuff! Rare to find something on KZread that someone puts so much time and love into. I hope you keep making these even though it seams to be light on the views. Great work! 👍👍👍

Great video and story! This brought back a lot of memories. My dad was a typewriter mechanic and I worked on a few myself when I helped him out.

Loved this episode! I have my father's old Royal typewriter from the 40's. I live near Boston, but now I want to make a road trip to Philly and have it restored.

Hey Jared just wanted to thank you so much for the informative content that you always post. You are an inspiration! Learned so much from you!

One of your best. Thank you. When I was a kid the family had a portable Remington. Much later, just before computers became popular, I had a Brother electric typewriter which was wonderful. As a teacher I used to type reports on it. Best bit was the corrector ribbon!

Just watched this great video. Really enjoyed it and felt like I learned something about typewriters. It's great that there are people like him who still have knowledge of older equipment and can pass on their passion to future generations. Great job by the Fro team - I particularly liked the b-roll of the typewriters in action.

What a sweet story! Video, still, narration and design are terrific technically, but more important, they show a lot of heart.

Best episode yet. I was thinking of getting a bluetooth typewriter keyboard, but I didn't have the cash at the time. There's just something about pressing those keys that is so satisfying. Great video, and amazing shots as well.

Well done, @JaredPolin! Terrific job capturing the essence of the resurgence of interest in these wonderful old machines. I am of an age such that I can recall taking a typing class in high school. We used IBM Selectrics - imagine a classroom filled with 25 of those buzzing, humming, clacking devices... Then, like many others, computers took over my life and many years passed before I touched a typewriter again, until - one day, on the whim of a random remark from a very good friend - I bought one: a vintage Royal portable. And, just like that, I was hooked. I now have nearly two dozen machines stashed here and there in my apartment. Thank you for some wonderful images and a great story!

This is fantastic work! Almost made me want to go out and buy a typewriter! Bravo Jared and team!

Thanks Jared for making and sharing this "documentary". Your best work yet.

Wow Jared that's awesome!... That's such a kind thing for you to do for him, and the book, that's just great! Great story. Loved the video.

GREAT episode!! Expert storytelling and very informing! Thanks, Fro

Absolutely fantastic, brilliantly edited, superb story and has really fired up my enthusiasm to get my old typewriters out and look into trying to use them. Thanks, one of my favourite videos of the last few years!

This should have SO MANY more views. Please do more stories/films/videos like this. Do not decide bases on views to discontinue something like this. Thanks for creating this video. I used to live in Philly, I live just outside of it now. I hope this typewriter business never goes under. Thanks Jared and the team for doing this awesome video!

Thoroughly enjoyable story, hats off to all involved. Can't go wrong with a good type writer. I used to use mine all the time up until about 1999.

Jared, wow!! You guys did an awesome job! The quality and content is outstanding. Keep on producing great photo stories! Looking forward to the next one! :-)

What a great production! I've been waiting to see this, you didn't let me down. Way to go gentlemen.

Some of your best stuff, like your early videos talking about how to shoot and how to set up your cameras. Nice work

Wow, this was amazing. I actually teared up at the end when he was looking at the book. Love it!!!

Great story. I always loved playing with the typewriter that my father had around the house.

This is superb Jared! Flawless production and the insight to the the business was awesome.

Great to see how you helped another small business get noticed. Great story and images.

i have been waiting to see this video for a while and I must say... worth every second! Great job with the the fotostory

This was one of your best episodes, the stills in the book were some of the best I have seen you take awesome job these photo stories are you at your best many thanks

Fro your at the forefront of video and photography Brother. The video was just as epic as the photos. Great job breathing life into the mom and pop shops. We can’t let these specialists fall to the wayside. Kudos!

Awesome video! I had no idea typewriters were still in use anywhere except in movies and TV shows. I still have one that belonged to my dad for years. I used it for a while, but it's been years.

A wonderfully warm tribute, Jared.

Great Job. Really beautiful photos. Nice history. The album stayed wonderful, I would like to see how it was edited. Thank you for this work.

Fantastic story and fabulous production. Way to go Jared and all the best to a terrific business and incredible typewriter mechanic from my hometown. Go Philly Typewriter, Go Philly!!!

Amazing video! Love it, as both an amateur photographer and a person who does all his own typewriter repairs!

Thanks Jared, this is one of, if not the the best video you have done. Keep them coming.

Outstanding story, My father was a typewriter repair man for the Underwood Typewriter CO for 24 years in Hartford CT. Until Olivetti took them over and they left for Harrisburg Pen.

This is one amazing documentary. Love it. Keep up the great work guys.

Awesome work by you all. A wonderful and inspiring story. These are super high quality so keep up the good work. :-)

Amazing! The quality, the detail and the story all amazing!

More of this please! You have come a long, long way since the playground Kermit the Frog instruction days. That was a stellar video by the way - was the first time I ever switched out of auto and I havent looked back since. Really proud of what you have become!

Loved it. It's amazing to see these beautiful machines get the love and respect they deserve. Awesome! :)

I absolutely enjoyed everything about this video. Thanks Jared!!

This is seriously amazing. Fantastic work with all of it!

Impressive work, Jared. By everyone on your team AND at Philly Typeritter. I loved watching this.

I learned to type on an old mechanical one the reason was the teacher at the time thought it was vital that we discovered the feel and the flow of the old machines.

Absolutely loved this video. It's heartwarming.

Great video, so professional, with passion and heart.
