What is your Insta?

This dude is a straight up incredible human. Erudite, intelligent, introspective, exceptionally talented and incredibly humble. Fantastic episode! 👏

I wasn't expecting to be hurt today. The endurance over passion def hits home.

wuhhhhhhhhhh

The legend! Big fan of Aaron and he was definitely an inspiration for me to shoot more 28mm and closer. I never met him or saw him speak before so this was great to see. Also booked my first workshop with him (and some UP members) in Rome in 2020 but then Covid canceled everything… thanks for doing this series Paulie!

Please do an “on the street with” episode with him

The casual photo of Gonz thrown in is pretty epic

Great to see the GRIII get some love on the Walkie Talkie!

Another great episode. As an added bonus, Aaron got a good photo of Mark Gonzales (The Gonz) at 11:00. Nice one!

That cheeky Mark Gonzales photo is awesome

It’s so cool that he is able to take such great photos without intruding and disturbing the flow

Everything about this one felt very flowy, and less chaotic. You can tell that all of his decisions here create that calm in the chaos for him, loved it.

"Your endurance is a lot more important than your intensity" great of life advice!

Great Episode. Aaron was a huge inspiration for me when I first moved to NYC. So glad he’s back from his hiatus, and more importantly, I’m glad he’s having Fun taking photos.

ricoh gang!! this camera helped me so much to get the courage to start doing this, one of the best purchases of my adult life!

There is absolutely no ego on this guy. I love him! Just a dude walking round with a camera, having fun.

We should all learn from Aaron. His reasoning and motivation for taking photos daily is good advice for longevity. I really love his worst advice "always working on a project." I've fallen into that trap and then become disillusioned when as I wasn't making any progress. It's cool and fun to just take photos with no strings attached. Life and street photography doesn't have to be so serious. Great video Paulie, appreciate your hard work on these.

One of the best walkie talkie episodes of course in my opinion. Great advice, lots of wisdom he shared with us. I admire his love and passion for photography, we do this because we love it 📸

Looking forward to this,the Ricoh Gr is a fantastic little camera for the streets.

Nobody notices the camera

"Movement looks a lot different when it's standing still" hit me like some Zen wisdom. Obvious and ah-ha.

Five stages of grief-the second time I watched this, when I understood how important a role Aaron played in those early days, I was blown away by his life wisdom. A turning point for me

I’m fairly new to this channel, have seen abt 8 by now, and Aaron is one of my favs so far ( I need to watch all the other videos, also ). Like I’ve said before, it’s so wild to me, to see the explosion in street photography, as when I started, including living in Brooklyn in ‘99, going to SVA in ‘93, NO ONE callED it street photography back then, (even tho the term, goes back to the 1850’s, and certainly starts in earnest w/ Henri Cartier-Bresson), but really when I started (first in the 70’s as a little kid, 11yrs old, then the 80s, but couldn’t afford to do it all the time ), came back in the 90s full on, you were either “a person taking photos for NO money”, (as my family looked at it, I think you all might agree w/ that especially when all I had was film) , or I knew a fashion photographer in Dallas , and a guy in NYC who shot for Time magazine, they called it Fine Art photography. The guy in Dallas finally, after not quite understanding my goal, but dug my pictures, came across a magazine called “Blind Spot”, and I thought “I found my ppl”… now with these videos, I’ve found my ppl again…

This series continues to be one of my favorite on YT. Loved the video!

another banger, Paulie. aaron takes amazing photos! i love the ones you can tell that were shot in motion.

Another wonderful video. Great series. Always enjoy these.

Been binging these episodes, it's so interesting and inspiring to get every different perspective!

Love how thoughtful and introspective this guy is

He’s like a ninja with the GRIII 🥷

"if you're watching this it's probably because you like doing this, so you should probably just go do it more"

Absolutely love how positive Aaron is. And what an incredible collection of work.

Just remember like yesterday: I joined a free Leica workshop with Aaron in Bangkok (that workshop also included Jesse Marlow, who has a different style on shooting than Aaron which is good. You can find inspiration from both of them.) I was just so overwhelmed with inspiration after the workshop that I walked around nearby to get some shots and yes, I think I got some nice frames on that day. Thank Aaron, for your inspiration and also cheers to Paulie for the growing success of this KZread channel. It is nice to catch up on some shooting action and hear valuable conversations simultaneously.

Genuine nice humble guy that takes amazing photos! Glad to see Aaron back in the saddle

I love these walkie talkies. It’s fascinating to here so many others’ perspectives on photography and everything else.

One of my favorite episodes. Lots of gems in this one.

Aaron is the best and such a generous and kind person

I've watched this video 3x in a row and this man still gives me something. He is brilliant. Please Aaron, be my master!

Everything he says resonates with me. Seeing the full spectrum of street photography through this series has been very eye opening. Thanks again for doing it

This is the best I've seen of a great series, I love his descriptions of feeling like an outsider, an observer, an obsessive person. I totally relate and find photography cathartic for similar reasons, it really scratches that itch.

This is one of the best episodes, such a inspirational guy. You can see how much photography means to him.

this walkie talkie is one of the best one so far, not only bc the photos are great but also the fact that ive been thru what his talking about grief of your photographers dream and persona

Didn’t expect that, and glad to see it So humble and so into it. Thank you Aaron I also recommend his podscast

So excited to see Aaron photographing again!

Nice episode! Great questions and amazing answers! Learnt so much in this episode. This made me focus on improving my endurance...

Sage advice from Aaron, no matter what artistic endeavor you pursue. Great episode! Thanks Paulie!

What an amazing episode, thank you for creating this channel

Banger of an episode ! Totally relate to Aaron relating feeling like an observer/outsider even outside of photography and about the obsessive nature that (street) photography can become. Often, I yearn to be out on the street when I'm at work or doing other commitments. Streets is calling !! This channel has been a massive inspiration for my street photography. I bought a 28mm lens and it's never off my camera now! Thanks Paulie B.

So cool to see this. Visiting NYC on holiday and just discovered I like photographing people on the street in exactly this way. How Aaron describes taking photos without disturbing the subject by seeming a little ‘clueless’ and being constantly in motion is how I’ve been taking pictures. The weirder the shot the better and it’s funny how I’m drawn to take a photos of certain people and not others - it’s instinctual really as it happens so much in the moment. Never knew it was a thing called ‘street photography’.

I just came across your Chanel Paulie and I really love the walkie talkie series ! I have watch a bunch and this one is one of my favourites ! I haven't done street photography but I want to give it a try with my polaroid. Thanks for the videos !

Really Enjoying your interviews! Thanks to all of you for sharing! Enjoy!

Wow. Just wow. I remember seeing him and Andre out there back in the day. He hit some solid philosophical points. Very humbling.

The mindset of this man is just incredible, learnt a lot, thank you for this episode!!

That was a great video. Didn't know Aaron Berger, glad to have found him and hear his insights. Humble, smart, unprentious dude.

this man dances through the streets. interesting to watch! thanks fellas

“When your progress starts to plateau, so does your motivation…” I really relate you that, especially here in a small city Tucson compared to NY

Another great video Paulie. Aaron seems like an honest and friendly guy. I showed Aaron some love following him on insta.

My favorite episode! One thing I really liked-and I wish you will ask more photographers this-is the physical strategy used, the soccer-like moves Aaron talks about. Thank you Paulie!!!!

I really like this guy's perspective on work and life. A few of the photographers in this series talk about fame and fortune as goals (which totally makes sense) but Aaron says he just wants to keep shooting - i find that very wholesome and respectable.

I love this guy. Thanks, Paulie

Amazing episode. As much as I love seeing ones with young hungry photographers who are in the middle of their "grinding" phase, it's so cool to see someone like Aaron who seems to be at a slightly different (and more mature / relaxed) phase of his photography journey.

That was very honest and inspirational. I’ve been feeling very stale and actually quite cynical with my photography lately (the boom of street photography and social media algorithms choosing “the right” pictures, or so many people turning anything into content) to the point where I started losing interest, or rather, faith in my own photography. This light hearted talk kinda restored it a little bit. Makes me want to go out and shoot and simply enjoy myself without thinking about likes and reposts. It feels quite special listening and relating to someone from the other part of the globe. Thank you both Aaron and Paulie ♥️

this was deep wow ! this was one of the best walkie talkies ive seen and heard , this dude is insightful

Love this video, not come across Aaron before, but glad I have now. Thank you 🙏

Great episode!! I'd definitely love to see more of the BERGER CAM with Aaron's live commentary ✌

His sense of timing and anticipations reminds me a lot of NYC bike messengers, looking faaaar ahead, anticipating moments/actions and align your pedals to it. Thanks for these series, they are very interesting to watch.

I really enjoy Aaron's work. It's good to see you feature a photographer who uses a GR. I use a GR II for street photography.

What a good shooter and what a nice and down to earth guy. Great!

so happy to see aaron back !

Wow! This us the best thing to watch while I do my morning rowing exercise ❤

Lots of wisdom,i think i should rewatch this again..

Man, love your perspective on this. I love shooting in the same manner that you shoot, thanks for describing it

another good one great interview

Really great video! Thanks for introducing me to Aaron's approach and work. I'm inspired to get out there and give street photography another try.

Get a Ricoh, it’s great on the street and hardly anyone notices plus the photos are so sharp and detailed

Another banger! Also interesting to see that Aaron shoots his GR the same way I do haha, walking towards people and just staring all over the place like you're a lost tourist.

Such a great interview! Quite helpful with the plateau/ identity phase.💯🙏🙏🙏

I love this series!

My favorite walkie talkie sooo farrr, thank you so much for doing theseeee

Love the Ricoh GR, such a great street photo camera. Love these episodes.

Thank you! I like that footwork and physicality was mentioned because I do believe it can make a difference.

I love these walkie talkie videos!

Wow he is really on a role hehehe. Great shots. Very energetic guy. He is really pursuing "stealth mode" whilst shooting, excellent. Good questions too, Pauli. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great videos

Brilliant, love this guy and his attitude. No arrogance or pretentiousness , and not in peoples faces.

Too much love for Aaron

the whole part about motivation really resonated, extremely well put.

The GR3 is so stealth. The best camera to get up real close with no confrontation

17:16 This is it. Why I take photos. Always felt like an outside observer in life rather than a participant.

Such a thoughtful interview, thank you!

Best episode!

Thanks Aaron and Paulie for the gold advice in this episode on how to shoot.

Every minute of it is absolute gold, thank you for this Paulie. p.s - 24:07 to 24:17 makes me miss shooting in Manhattan so much!

This one is wonderful. Saw it a couple months ago and just wanted to return to it today.

YES Aaron!

This was inspirational. Came at the right time for me. "I do it cause it's fun."

Really love Aaron`s images, he has a great eye. Totally agree about the foot work, if you watch some of the earlier footage of Cartier Bresson he was like a ballet dancer when he went about the streets.

This was great!!!

yasss!!! got my GRIIIx a few months ago. it's truly liberating...and so small, no one on the streets even notices you.

Him talking about how soccer has influenced his body positioning is true !!! I’ve noticed it with my work as well

That's why he's the GOAT! Glad our boy is back.

Great episode! I also shoot Ricoh GR iiix as my secondary to my film camera.

fav episode

15:50 another street photographer in the background lol

This photographer is great, and I love all the lifelessons he's spittin out 🙏😃 keep rockin the street!

Very casual and very deep at the same time.
