RICOH GRIII - A project that changed my life 

A truly great and honest project with a fantastic, unexpected but beautiful story backed up with amazing photography. Something you should be proud of

Such a wonderful film and truly beautiful photographs, made all the more so because there is such thought and meaning behind them

Wow. I found this video and I expected that it would be some kind of a review or POV or some impressions of GRIII. But this video turned out to be unexpectedly deep, meaningful and philosophical. Great job, wish you the best on this life trip.

I love how photography, like writing (journaling) could capture these important moments in time. What a truly beautiful gift for you and your family.

Congratulations on having kids. Having children changed not only my life but also my friends. Now it’s time to document your kids growing up.

So beautiful project and story! Thank you!

Wonderful story, beautifully told with awesome images! Thank you for sharing. The best is yet to come, never stop shooting.

Beautiful. I always imagined capturing a story in photos like this. Inspiring.

WOW thanks so much for sharing your journey and images. Love your presentation and reflections. All the best with the next chapter.

This is one of the most beautiful video about the GR and photography I've ever seen on YT.

Thanks for sharing !

Dude, this is such a beautiful videos and compilationt of great story and photos !!! ❤❤❤

Absolutely amazing video, and story! Thank you for sharing. I went to uni in Nottingham 2014-2017, and now live in NYC, so watching your walks around Nottingham are particularly nostalgic. My wife and I are currently in a transition moving away from NYC, and even though I’m ready for the change and I’m the one pushing for it, the feeling of not being able to go on my usual photo walks here hits me every now and then. I have a couple more months in NYC, and your video has inspired me to make my own book documenting our last summer in the city. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

What a beautiful project and share with this video essay. It was a wonderful 12 minutes spent listening to your story and the concept of the project, and how it evolved as you entered and progressed through the process. The way you shared your story, your editing, your pacing, how you inserted your narrative breaks, allowed me to just take in your story at such a calm and reflective pace. If you were to make the book available, I would certainly buy it. It would sit on my shelf as a reminder that developing a concept and sticking with it, while allowing yourself to discover and evolve can lead to new ways of seeing, and that, would be invaluable. Thanks again. 🙏

This is truly inspiring and amazing

100% my experience too. The 28mm eq. of the Fujifilm X70 was too wide for me until something clicked. I was in a very disgusting town and wanted to capture all the filth I could in one photo - suddenly I was composing clutter, and soon clutter became context. Busy frames grew on me and when I had the choice to buy into the Ricoh GR III or the X, I chose the classic III. Now I don't think I could go back. Great video. 👑

I rarely ever care about Black and white photos, nor would I usually watch a whole video involving only bnw photo content, but this video is what photography is about. Creating meaning through documentation and taking notice of things your eye maybe wouldn't appreciate if your hand wasn't holding a camera. This project is very inspirational and you now have an extra "like" and an extra subscriber because of it. Looking forward to more of your work!

What an incredible video. This is the inspiration I needed today. Thank you.

That last scene. 😢❤

That was beautiful

Wow. To say that this is one of the best RU-vid videos I've seen is an understatement. At a glance, I thought the whole video would be about the camera and how it met your expectations. It had nothing to do with the Ricoh yet everything to do with it too. You are one of the greatest storytellers I've ever seen and I wish you so much success in whatever you want to achieve with your life and in this channel. You've earned a subscriber.

Wow. Simply wow. So emotional and honest. It's an inspiration for me. Photography is so much more than just taking pictures. It's life and the way you see it. Thanks for sharing this!

Man, the photos look amazing and the project itself is really great and inspiring. But I need to say something about the blank page day. I think to include that was the most interesting thing (and I really loved all the rest), not only because it's such an example of creativity and thinking outside the box, but because it takes balls to do something this... strange. Sometimes the simplest thing is the hardest, that's something I probably would not have the courage to do and probably would have surrendered to the feeling of "I need to shoot something" and would have ended up putting a picture I'd not be proud of. Congratulations on that, it was really inspiring.

Beautiful! Many blessings to you and your family. And may you have many more wonderful Tuesdays …and Wednesdays, sharing with us such fine photography, filmmaking and storytelling.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. And the perfect inspiration for me, a photographer feeling stale and in need of some direction and focus. Thankyou.

Lovely photos. Lovely crisp b+w video with simple heart-felt story.

Lovely and so heartfelt....

Stunning images, my friend. Truly incredible story. I feel inspired to start my own journey/project. Cheers!

Wonderful video and story. Makes me want to do something similar. Thank you.

Great photo essay, great video. Congratulations, and blessings to your baby and family.

What a great video man!

Congrats on finishing your project! Thanks for the beautiful video and all the best with your new family life.

The video, the images and the story were stunning. Thank you so much for sharing. This has truly been an inspiring watch.

Probably best video I’ve ever watched on photography, well done and thank you 🙏

Really beautiful! I love the pace of your videos and the way you talk about your work! Incredible!

I love this project so much and the photos captured are amazing! The black and whites are beautiful!

The emotions that you are able to bring to life through your photographs… wow. Beautiful. If you ever decide to make more copies of that book to sell, I’d absolutely be first in line. Cheers.

Awesome video man, love the feel, perfect backing music. 🤙🏽

Love this! What a wonderful collection of photos for your daughter to see when she's ready

I loved this video, beautifull work, and then your new project presented it self for your GR111, your beautiful baby daughter, congratulations, enjoy the journey, it passes so fast,

What an incredible project … inspirational … I’ve lost my mojo photography …hope I can find it again like you clearly have ❤

Great story telling and superb project and photos - looks like a wonderful book!

This is GReat!! (Get it?) Keep up the amazing work!

I love your work, because you focus on photography and capturing the essence of life and not just gear. Keep up the great work !

This was a quietly powerful experience.

I loved my old grd3 until it died. So I appreciate your photos and journey. Your thoughts on the X100 (on another video) which I still own and works has inspired me to go out with it. Thank you.

Congratulations King, blessings to you and family… Always top shelf💡🎥🎬.

Absolutely love the BW tones, and compositions. SO GOOD.

one of the best things I've seen on youtube, ever. Thanks for that.

wow! thank you for sharing your story!!

Fantastic video and project :) Thank you very much for sharing !

A wonderful video - and great photos as well. Best wishes!

Inspiring !

Gorgeous, especially the ending ❤❤❤

Excellent project, and some great images,

Now that is some inspiration right there! Great work and beautifully narrated.

Just subscribed. Finally someone not unboxing a new camera and just reading specs. You are a great photographer. Love the story telling

Beautiful body of work and story telling! Watched this video a couple of times already, it inspired me to shoot more intentionally.

This video makes me want to go out and take photos, truly inspiring 🎉

Wow - this is an awesome video and an amazing / very rewarding project. Great work

Sir! I love you!!!

Inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

Great video, lovely work and really quite uplifting. Thank you 🙏

What an amazingly well produced video to showcase great photos. For those, like me, who often wonder “Why am I doing this?”. Here’s a pretty great answer: to tell a story that you care about. Thank you for making this.

Gorgeous.

what an amazing video!!!! Brilliantly shot, amazing story. I love everything about it! Congrats to you and your wife on becoming parents, hope all goes well. I really hope. the people at Ricoh see this video.

Really beautiful. I enjoyed so much about this. Nottingham was my hangout in my teens, great to see familiar shots. And congratulations on the new addition. Here's to many more exciting Tuesdays on the horizon!

What a beautiful video. On top of all the things you mentioned about the journey you went on, you also captured Nottingham really well. It’s hustle and business but also it’s quiet calmness there is on certain days. I havnt lived in Nottingham for 3 years now, it has quite a dark spot in my head because of my mental health due to a job I was working at the time, but this video may have just started to turn it around and make me think of the positives that are there. Thank you 🖤

Truly inspiring! Thank you for sharing the journey with us. All the best to the next chapter of your life! 💯

This an amazing and introspective way to be more than just photography. Well done!

Fuckin A. Simple, rhythmic & joyful. Loved it man ❤

I'm glad i stumble with your Page. Very inspiring..

2:24 very interesting philosophy on monochrome... I'll have to take some time and consider that myself. Really nice photos too!

Bloody marvellous. Between you and Allan Schaller, you have made me want to pick my camera up again.

I really have to congratulate you for this beautiful video. it inspired me. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Me too after I have my daughter, she became the main reason I take photos everyday. I make one album per year for her now she is 8. I’m glad I have done this.

Love this. Inspiring me to shoot my GRIIIx more. Great work!

Really great video and wonderful images!

Very moving! loved it

Lovely work mate, and great story.

Wonderful story telling and video!

Really enjoyed watching this! I love what you created and the stories you shared behind them. Congratulations on becoming a father and producing this project as well! Keep on going!

I stumbled across this video by chance ... and WOW! I love your images. It's personal. It's beautiful. And combined with your story behind those images, it became complete. Stunning works~!

Loved you video dude. Only just had my GRiiix since Christmas. Only been out with it once so far. Wasn't to fussed at the beginning of of walk, but has the day went on I started to love it more. Thanks for putting this up dude 🙏

Very mindful video and process many thanks

Honestly, really amazing video!

Very poetic and a good camera

I have been thinking about making a photographic journey like this for some time now. I'm looking forward to be doing it soon. I've purchased a Leica X2 for the purpose of the journey, and I also want to do it in B/W. Funny to see something similar to what I wanted. Great work. Keep it up. You'll blow up as a photographer one day.

Thanks for posting this, I must say that I really enjoyed looking at your photography. Your images have a lot of contrast and blacks in them, I was wondering how you metered your beautiful photos? Thanks again.

Just a wonderful presentation and project. Thank you for sharing. Regards….Wayne

Beautiful. Bravo.

Wonderful video. Gives me inspiration when out with my GRIIIx
