    I found it funny that he really only edits one picture a month and spends more time taking pictures and less time editing. I really like that. His sense of perception of the environment is really incredible, you can tell he's spent a lot of time on the streets.

    who was born with digital cameras have tendency of taking more shots so that "at least one is good" or editable. as other comments said, if you were born with film, you gained much more experience on taking e picture right at first attempt. it a slower kind of street photography. great thing

    When the camera shot only one picture, it was almost good, when they invented roll film with 12 pictures, only 3 good shots, them 36 only 6 good, now with digital, 1 good in each 100 shots.😂

    Man - this was one of the best interviews I have ever seen. As photographers we are artists and we all know artists have shallow self-esteems, get easily discouraged, often vacillate and many don't even have a good sense of direction. This guy was the opposite of all of this. He does not need anybody to prop him up or encourage him, he is very focused has his routine dialled in and does not get distracted. He also has a long-term goal and knows where he is heading. Also, he is one of the very few contemporaries who has the right take on film. Oh my goodness, I see so many photographers now who think they need to go waste their valuable time and money and dirge back and dabble in film because they are missing out on something. I'm like this guy and Steve McCurry - I was pleased to see the end of film and I never want to go back. As Siegfried says - he does not need film to slow him down or hinder him. I can't wait for the second part of this interview. Very well done Samuel

    A slight correction to your conclusion that "as photographers, we are artists". Photography is what you make out of it. Like with guns - it is not the camera that makes art - but the brain of the person who handles the camera. Spending $ thousands for equipment or wearing a "Press" badge is not what creates "visual arts" but the talent of somebody who is able to see the light, and able to capture in a fraction of a second the moment when light highlights lines, shapes, and forms of an object in a way that it amplifies their beauty - and by doing so creates a memory in a person life - that is visual art.

    Samuel, thank you for making this! You can tell that he's put in the work and is really in tune with his craft. I quite enjoy his perspective on editing. I find myself wanting to edit immediately, but I think adding some intentional space between when you took the image and when you edit makes a lot of sense. Can't wait to see the next one!

Super insight. Thank you. I've gotten way too distracted with videos from 'gear boys' these days and need to come back to the art of the craft.
