    Hi Paul, I was getting fed up with all the same old crap on KZread, kids shooting with fast lenses and over-using colour grades etc., producing pointless mediocre images. And then I found your channel. A breath of fresh air. Good job Sir!

    Hi Paul, just taking your camera with you is the best thing to do! I do the same. When I started taking them with me, I was often asked, "Why do you have a camera with you?". Today I'm only asked if I don't have one with me. And that's very rare ;-) I really like your photos of Blackpool and also the color look in the video sequences. It reminds me of old American movies. Thanks a lot for all of your inspiration and images! With best regardes from Siegen/Germany, Dirk (DT-Classics)

    Love those up close portraits. They capture people’s personality. Perhaps you could show us some time your approach to engaging with folks to take their picture. Candid shots may be the truest definition of street photography, but permission based street photos can be enjoyable too.

    It’s interesting that I find you on this journey of late. I recently put away my R5 and dug out a dusty under utilized Panasonic LX 100 and am falling in love all over again with the Summilux 24-75! Shooting for the joy of shooting again is a wonderful feeling. I’m in the process of deciding on the Q3 Monochrome or a regular one. No decision yet, nor is it really needed just yet. In Canada the Q3 is a hefty $8100. So it will take me a while to save up, but I’m $600 in already😂 Just thankful for a wife who puts up with my purchases 🙂 Great video and keep them coming.

    Great images. I wondered if these images were straight out of camera or if they were edited? They look amazing and I've always wondered if you need to do much post-processing with monochrome images from a camera like the Q2.

    Thanks so much. I always edit the images to my style. I wouldn’t say it’s a lot of post processing. But it is very necessary with the RAW files

    I don’t I’m afraid. It’s not that complicated but more an approach to the editing that being technical. Feel free to join one of my workshops if you would like to be walked through my process from the taking of the images to the actual processing
