Not all street photography can be treated equally; some photography will be remembered and the rest will be forgotten. We can each create work that will be remembered, but it won't be easy.

Photography is a medium that isn't instantly relevant. It ages with time. You photos in 20+ years time will start to have meaning and you will then appreciate them more. Personally, I print my own work regularly, frame it and then archive it boxes. I know in the future when I am nearly dead, I will take a final look at them and smile.

Vivian Maier... perfect example of enjoying the process, no requirement for validation.

The reason why street photos from many years ago are so appealing and interesting is that the streets, the people and their clothes are all so different. In another 50 years, street photos from today will be just as unique.

I know this is an older video at this point, but the line "the fact that you enjoy it as a person in your short time on this planet is enough reason for you to pursue something" legitimately brought a tear to my eye.

Great video. In terms of one of the issues you raised regarding "older photos" looking more appealing (If I understood correctly), I have some thoughts about this matter. I think many of those photos were shot using analog cameras, which means there weren't any "computer assisted" features. As an amateur photographer, I shoot both digital and analog. I often find that when I shoot analog, I have to put more thoughts and preparation into it since there is no immediate feedback like a digital camera. Also, I feel photographers back in those era also have to have keen eyes for color matching since manipulating colors using computer software was not possible. Also, without the medium of social media, locations, creativities, all seem to have to be "earned through effort much more" than simply geo-tagging hot spots. I think what I am trying to say is that maybe more thought process/fundamental skills/trial and experimentations attitudes, etc. were required, which may have reflected on the creation of many timeless classic photos (such as the one from Henri Cartier-Bresson that you used in this video). Just my two cent. Look forward to your future videos.

I've shot for over thirty years. When I look back now at shots I didn't take because the content looked too "Modern" at that time. Now I'd love to have looked back and seeing the 1990s style of the street. I was looking for classic look of the older photographers managed to capture. It's only now that I see that they were seeing what I was (contemporary) just at different times. You make some excellent points. Very thought provoking!

I think that you have opened up a really interesting discussion about photos of time gone by. One element which has a huge impact on how we view older photos is that of emotion. How we feel when we see a particular image, or the emotion that it evokes in us is so important. The beauty or impact of a great photograph, like a great painting, is often in the eye of the beholder(s). But then again I may just be spouting B.S. Love your videos, George. They're such a breath of fresh air.

Again I love the feeling of the video. It feels so cinematic and so deep. You express your feelings with nice footage and well chosen music. The way you explain things just changes my view on streetphotography or just any photography in that matter. It gives every picture you see a new look. A new way of looking. I love looking at a picture and how it feels like if I was at that location or talking with that person. I love the emotions on people faces. Or the scenery of a landscape. I love the old VS new feeling too. Both ways of photography is something I love. But I do what I just love to do and that is to shoot. Even if people don’t like it but I do. Then I feel like I’ve succeeded

Photography for myself is a compulsion built into my personality like a scavanger hunt where I seek out weird lighting on a benign subject. Been there since I was 8 years old. (50 now)

After going through the stage of frustration for my lack of confidence and talent, I learned to simply enjoy taking photos. Mostly taking bad to mediocre pictures, but occasionally I found myself in the zone and take a few good ones. That’s enough for me for now.

You know what I hate?… those sponsorship ads that youtubers slide into their videos… Having said that, they way you've incorporated your VPN rap groups ad, is just brilliant! I laughed so hard and loud!… Well done! This is fast becoming one of my favourite Youtube pages. ✊🏿

Really needed this at this stage in life. I never really agreed with the phrase "everything worth doing is worth doing badly", but I came across it again today, and it really hit home after watching this video. I'm 100% still stuck worrying about achieving the "profound value" with my creative endeavors and just ended up doing nothing at all. Loved how you said "just because you enjoy making something, that is enough reason for you to do it". Going to hold on to that as I give this another shot🙂 Thank you so much for this refreshing video, and the important reminders. Rock on🙂
