Gavin: The pasta was my idea Amanda: Did you say, pastor? Seriously, how can anyone stay depressed around that woman? Great sunset image.

Gavin - I so relate to this. Dunno if it's a male thing, a middle-aged thing, or just the curse of the creative - but I've been there many times. And no matter how much my life has improved post-divorce/financial collapse, I still cop it more often than I'd expect. All I can say is, you make a lot of people happy with your work, and you do bring genuine value to those you touch (inappropriately or otherwise), so keep doing what you're doing. It really makes a difference, believe me.

Colin, a true man of culture I see, unlike you. Sean and I would be happy to do a REAL photography adventure with him in the future. 😤 Oh and killer work at 14:52!!!

Cutting through all the jokes and banter to the core: I am so sorry that you haven't been able/allowed to visit with your Mother. From one human to another, I'm so sorry about that. (any further words would just be me projecting my interpretations onto your situation, so just know that I and others are with you in the sadness and frustration).

Oh man, another awesome video and an even more awesome photo. It's the best of the year so far. That light... feels like a fairy tale. Looking forward to see on the next video your marriage ceremony with the lovely Amanda. It's about time! It will be the most beautify ceremony ever on top of that mountain, with Shainblum on one side, and uncle Grumpy on the other. Grow a pair and do it!

The one thing that always stands out in your videos to me aside from the amazing photos, is the camaraderie. I've seen my best friend once in the last 2 years and watching your videos makes it hit home how much a friendship, and family for that matter, should be treasured and never taken for granted. Magnifique work as always.

You know you are soooo appreciated, right? Thank you for these videos. I always look forward to the humor, and that’s helping us all right now. :)

If I could like it twice I would. Firstly keep well. Always providing great laughs, knowledge and stunning photos. Comedic timing is just gold.

Gavin and Amanda, you two make each other better, don't ever forget that! Thanks for the great pics.

Great video! Happy thoughts smiling times. I'm right there with you. I'm 59 and I haven't seen my mother in 2 years because of the ridiculous guidelines in place. I'm feeling your pain. Hang in there. Soon you'll be hugging your mother and she'll be driving you nuts the first hour of your visiting with her! LOL

"Seeping Shatner"... almost spit my margarita at that one :) :) :) Beautiful place Gavin... and you better put a ring on her... she's a keeper!

I've been watching KZread photography vids for many years, you & your team actually bring a smile to my face. Your combination of fine art photography & your characterizations, facial expressions and heartfelt communication surpasses many of the movies & tv shows coming out on Netflix, Amazon & Hulu, and your doing it with a hand held freaking video recorder. Pat yourself on the back. You definitely put those cameras and lenses to the test.

Really appreciate the time and effort you put into your work. Countless laugh out loud moments over the course of the few years I've been following you and endless tips and tricks I've learnt along the way too! Hope you're able to visit your Mum soon. Best wishes from West Wales 🙂

Those sketches always put a smile on my face 😁😁👍

We can't rely on much these days but can always get a laugh or two from your videos Gav. Best medicine ever.

Yes, the book finally sold out🎉🎉 Great shot Gavin, think you didn't had to worry about that lake. Those amazing clouds covered it completely!!

Hey, You should make a book of your photographs! Chasing Gavin, by Amanda

That was a fantastic video really enjoyed watching it, Gavin carry on doing what you’re doing you are really brilliant at landscape photography and making people laugh 😂 which in these times we need so thank you for taking the time and sharing your videos with us. Martyn

haha the "Seeping Shatner" is a reality for many of us LOL. Depression is a real thing for me too and it brings down my motivation to make work but I find if I just push myself to get out there then good things tend to happen or at least I surprise myself somehow. It's really hard sometimes though lol. Sometime the voice just says you suck what are you even doing? Gotta learn not to hear the voice. Gotta say yes I can instead of no I can't :)

I found your channel yesterday and I’m addicted. I love your humour and the way you narrate your process of composition - brilliant. Looking forward to watching more of your content and checking out your images.

Gavin and Amanda - another gem! Thank you for always brightening my day.

Thank you for this wonderful Video! It was magic how you made me smile by watching!!

Always uplift my mood Gav thank you.

Gavin, I understand the struggle you seem to be going through, and I empathize. Know that your videos bring joy, and beauty otherwise perhaps unreachable, to many of us. Amanda and yourself, and the numerous cohorts and guests, always bring me a smile and the strong desire to sneak across the border northward to walk among the scenic wonderlands you visit. Chin up

Always good fun watching your videos! Love the skits😂❤️

Laughter is the best medicine - thanks for providing it every week!

Great video Gav'nor, some epic scenery up there. As always your videos are a hoot to watch. Thanks for a top shelf content.

Another very entertaining video and a beautiful landscape shot! WOW!

Fun video, the outtakes are always a laugh. Thank you for sharing.

Great landscaping shots! Enjoy your videos, Amanda & other photographers for all kinds funny stuff.💕

Gavin your videos are a highlight of the week and help me forget for a few brief moments of laughter that tomorrow is Monday.

Genius. The picture with the heather in the foreground was outstanding. Thanks for the laughs. I must admit, I fully expected some vows at the cabin! Maybe next time.

Always get in a good Mood watching your videos, keep them coming please!

Another classic, thanks team Hardcastle

My wife and I miss BC and Vancouver Island and we cannot wait to get back to see those big mossy trees and beautiful beaches. I'm thankful that I found this channel because you produce such beautiful videos.

Love you guys!

Beautiful shot👍

I pray you both know you’re loved and valuable. I’m praying for you.

Gavin - I’m LOVING your book. It’s sooo enjoyable to read, and the images reinforce what an amazing photographer you are. Why did I wait so long to buy it? Dunno, but it’s friggin’ amazing! 👍🦘🇦🇺

I know that feeling, fighting that depression, but hey your videos are still very uplifting, also inspired me to try some landscape photography, busy editing them now, will share next week. Again keep it up, look forward to the next video, regards to Amanda as well. Love the energy.

gorgeous photo. Love the colors.

Great capture loved the colors. Wow to that hike, Amanda is such a trooper. She hangs tough. That noodle thingie even looked like hell. I think the Pasta ..I mean Pastor should have pushed more🤣🤣

Wow, Gavin! What a beautiful capture!!!!! You deserved it!

Fantastic pic and a highly entertaining video as usual, really enjoy you guys. All the best from West Yorkshire 👍

Another lovely video, and final photo. I understand the depression and anxiety with the quickly fading rights. The last 1-1/2 years have been difficult for me as well. I've had a burning desire to get to the mountains myself.

Lovely image Gav. Fun adventure.

Stunning shot

Your videos are allways puttin a smile on my face, Gavin! Thank you for that! By the way; i have depression`s too...!

I love the niche you have created!

Bloody awesome video mate

Honestly I find hiking and going on adventures, in quiet places, extremely soothing and satisfying.

Amazing final shot in this video, and I completely agree with your sentiments regarding the state of the world at the moment. Never thought I'd utter these words, but just be glad you don't live here in Australia. It's still March 2020 here and we're not even allowed to do as you do in this video. Photography, as well as most things, is currently outlawed where I live. Anyway, completely understand your state of mind as I actually see no light at the end of the tunnel in Australia, but hoping it works out better for you guys soon. Love the video, as always, and stuff like this is a great opportunity to escape from the reality of the situation here for a few minutes. Happy thoughts, smiling times. :)

I truly sympathize with the Orwellian nightmare that AU has become. Nobody saw that coming. I truly hope things improve but I fear that won't happen until the people decide to do something about it as a collective. Sadly, there are far too many people all to willing to slip into the role clipboard warrior. Little Hitlers are always waiting for a crisis to exploit.

Simply epic pic. Love the comedy style - always worth watching the vids

Love the shot thanks for sharing

Outstanding work Gavin!!!

This is great. After many years of not knowing what was going on I finally started getting treated for my depression and part of my self treatment is getting back into landscape and wildlife photography. The trips are great and one thing I plan on working on is being more deliberate and slow with my work. Enjoying the process instead of trying to get the picture and move on to the next one.

On a serious note, going out for a walk or a hike, especially amongst the mountains, and doing some photography...even if my photography is terrible...really helps improve my mental health.
