Spent a night camping with my Uncle over the summer. We share two passions, camping and photography! I asked him to share his creative process when he goes on a photo outing and how his physical disability has changed how he makes pictures. He had some inspiring wisdom to share!

@@Dodoa3916-35mm! We use it for about 90% of our videos! We’ve been using a Sony mic recently but love the Rode Video Micro, you might need a better dead cat though because it’s rough in wind
“I’m more afraid of doing nothing than doing something and failing.” Uncle Paul’s words of wisdom are fantastic. Thanks for taking us along!
Uncle Paul is “The Most Interesting Man in the World”! Thanks for the inspiration and I know you don’t care, Uncle Paul!
I’ve fallen in and out of love with a hundred different KZreadrs in the last 5 years, but I always remain in love with you and Chris. And now I also love Paul! Also, I want to say that I love that you’ve given yourself the freedom to let your channel pivot to follow your interests as they morph over the years.

Thanks so much!!
What a character. Love Uncle Paul! Fascinating dive into his process.
Your Uncle Paul is a gem full of wisdom! Please bring him back to your videos at least twice a year! Perhaps a spring and a fall color photo camping trip.
Your Uncle Paul has a great outlook on life. I’ve been feeling incredibly uncreative lately and his view of just going and taking pictures is a great outlook. Protect this man at all costs!
“One kick at the cat”. That’s all we get. Great reminder to give it everything!
Gems like, " I shoot things that I like, the way I like. That's it." and "Does anyone else like it? Meh, probably not. I don't care....." Uncle Paul is my hero today. I can only hope I am as cool as he is when I have been slinging a camera as long as he has. :)

That’s a mind set I’m going to be bringing into this year with photos for sure!!
Love your uncle's approach to photography. "I'm more afraid of doing nothing, than doing something and failing." Boom! 💥
I think one theme that always shines through any video you make is the people stories. Sometimes it’s about you or Chris, often it’s about someone else, but I’m always interested and enamored by the person whose story you’re sharing!

Paul! What a guy. Sounds like he's lived a cool life! Also, I can respect that he chose to go mirrorless and his work is great. Takes me back to my childhood and seeing my uncles body of work.
I loved this. Great video. Great message. Paul rocks. Lovely work, Becki.

Thanks Gerald! This is definitely a special one for me!
Great job vlogging it....Paul great to see you doing what you like best! Hollywood here you come! 😋
What a wise man! Paul is living in the moment
Paul is the cool uncle I want to be when I’m his age.
Your Uncle Paul is awesome! He knows how to do it! Hats off to Paul!
This is brilliant! Again! Respect the age, you'll be there. Just give it a little time.
What an inspirational video. I love my photography and I’m heading down the restricted movement path from multiple spinal injury. I’m out there! Thank you 🙏
Another wise Paul....lol. So great to see his motivation, inspiration, and a general "I don't care what other people think" attitude. His reasons are why I like photography as well. One to just get out in nature; and two to slow down. Thanks for sharing!
It's always a pleasure to watch one-off your videos. Interesting chat, lovely images, and no bloody selling! Very best wishes to you.
I hope this dude knows how much of an inspiration he is
Perseverance is inspiring. Thank you Uncle Paul
Absolutely loved this! So amazing on mulitple levels, smiled all the way through. "More afraid of doing nothing, then doing something and failing." Epic. Come out to Tucson, Arizona and we can go storm chasing during monsoon season!
As a photographer with a leg disability myself, this one was a huge inspiration 🥹
We will need more of Uncle Paul!!
He’s such a nice guy. And a great photographer!
Your dad is a gem! Excellent episode! You need to do this again! And again! :)
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Uncle Paul was AWESOME! Such a character! Great video! :)
Not sure why your guy’s videos haven’t been popping up in my recommended :( you guys were one of my favorite channels. I just recently got back into photography so I’ll definitely be tuning in more!
Becki you are so blessed to have your Paul. Listen watch and learn from him. And I don't mean just his Awesome photography. Yes he surely does capture incredibly the things we nearly always miss. True artistic talent. Reminds me of Hania Rani. 🥰
I enjoyed this video so much. More of Uncle Paul whenever you are able and he is willing. ❤
Thanks for sharing Uncle Paul. I understand the issues with aging and Paul motivates me.
Holy wow, SO many gems from Paul. Maybe my favorite was "I'm more afraid of doing nothing... than doing something and failing." I thought his comments about pace and not hurrying were calling me out a bit 🙂

I love this video and I love your Uncle Paul! I get so frustrated traveling with non-photographers who are always in such a hurry to get to the next spot and I could spend a whole day exploring a mile and taking photos. I’d happily slow hike with Paul!
Uncle Paul is a legend. Loved this!!
Can we all please borrow your uncle? He's amazing and we all need to learn from him.

Uncle Paul is awesome. My uncle got me started when I was 12 now 68 sometimes I get in the slump, but I like is analogy about going out and just shoot anything. Becky Uri he should have a KZread channel or at least Instagram. I sure would following. Thanks so much for sharing with us. God bless.
This is probably my fav vlog from you guys. Uncle Paul rocks!
He’s right. You only get one crack of this life so you better make it a good one! Great video love to Hear more of his photo adventures 🙌

Heck yeah! Words to remember for sure!
Great video. Especially spending time with your uncle. He has a great attitude. Thanks for taking me along.
This was great, what a cool mix of the ol’ vlog format, needing out on photography, a super cool guest, and camping?! 💯 I have a feeling this year will be such a neat refresh for the channel - keep it going.
Paul has such a great perspective of life. I love his casual but purposeful nature.
Wow! What a cool Uncle you have! Very inspiring story you documented here. I really like his style of shooting landscapes and nature in general. I sometimes wonder why other people can't see those things as well. Loved that Vlog!!
'...I shoot things that I like ...' Yep, respect!
I 100% relate to the statement «It takes all my energy to get to where I’m going”, so I guess I need to learn not to rush my photography. Great video! Thanks!
Thank you Becki, this is such a diffrent vlog, but so pure and honest. It's like you just opened my eyes the results to slow down, again thank you!
Dam, I love Paul's outlook on photography and using the Canon R6, it doesn't get any better than that, one of my favourite cameras . Paul could probably start a KZread Channel just telling his stories. Great video guys👍👍😍
The way he praises thoughtfulness and embraces being slower than others really resonates with me. I'm not slow by any means in most aspects of my life (and too young to be slow), but photography is where I'm slow and sometimes annoy other people on walks. If I see something and discover a scene, I could use and live in this scene for hours. Time just flies by and it's one of the greatest feelings in life. He's got a good view on life and fantastic advice on it, what a great guy! Also, the landscape where you guys were is beautiful and the weather makes it even better. Sometimes I love gray skies.
thank you for the perfect sunday motivation, uncle Paul :)
No Chris today but Grandpa Paul is damn dope! Love the view of mountains feels Outlander series I watched long time. Hahahahaha
I enjoy Paul's photo's and journey. I would subscribe to his channel! I too, began my photography journey young and in the 35mm world and darkroom, then nothing for years until three years ago.
What an incredible guy! Enjoyed watching!
Not a photographer but really enjoyed this video and the take aways from Paul!
I watch all your videos. But this is one of the best. Inspiring. Thanks.
Super inspiring, would love to see more of Uncle Paul
What a character!! I bet he is fun.
Uncle Paul is such a badass
Great words of wisdom from Paul. And his photography is amazing! Did you take any photos, Becki?
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Becki & Paul- loved the photography inspiration!
So good. Love Uncle Paul!!! Kudos to both.
The inspiration I needed! Now all my complaining seems insignificant.
Such an amazing video and uncle Paul is one cool dude. We certainly can all learn a lot from is wisdom
"if it looks good to me" HELL YEAH PAUL
All the best for Paul! He's a brave guy!
You only get one kick at this cat night as well take advantage. I love this quote. Thanks Uncle Paul
Paul is great! I love his style and sometimes I see his work in your work etc. He seriously inspires me and one of my favorite life achievements was when he followed me on Instagram and actually takes the time to like my photos. It feels good. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you both!
There is so much deep, beautiful knowledge that can be learned this video. There are many days where I get so exhausted and frustrated on trying to make the best shot I can and getting upset when it doesn’t happen. This is a good kick in the rear to show that you need to look back and go back to what made you want to do your craft. When you started it was fun and you never cared about opinions you just did it to make you happy. Shout out to beck and her uncle for going back to their roots and doing what makes them happy! It was a much needed refresher!

Your uncles style of photography is the same as mine. 👍
Holy crap get Uncle Paul to set up a KZread channel. I watch endless landscape photographers on KZread that are not half as interesting as Uncle Paul!!
