This week I'm taking a walk with my 2 year old, attempting to get some photos in midday mush. I know... I did some good scouting for autumn though, and I talk about something every landscape photographer, street photographer and any other outdoor photographer will know all too well.

As a 24 year old, I think I just witnessed one of the in my eyes most adorable ways of communicating with children. You’re not changing you’re voice that much, not talking childy things only, taking you’re son seriously with what he has to say. I will save this video to remind me of this when I, one day, hopefully will be on a hiking trip with my own kids :) lovely content!

@jaughnekow 11 месяцев назад

as a 25yr old, i agree.

@russelllapua4904 11 месяцев назад

Just don't talk to your kid like they're a Golden Retriever and they will end up being able to talk properly and more "grown up". This also means they won't get frustrated when trying to talk to explain something to you. My daughter is 4 years old and can have proper conversations with me because I didn't talk to her like she's a dog.

@RH1812 11 месяцев назад

Always TALK to your child. Never do the goo goo stuff

@elipaquette2103 11 месяцев назад

as a 18 yo, i agree.@@jaughnekow

@cruising5to1 11 месяцев назад

As a 57 year old with 6 incredible children, the youngest 16 and the oldest 36 in the next couple days, I could not agree more with all these comments! Treat your children with respect and maturity and that's how they will grow up. My only regret? I didn't take enough photos and videos. You appear to be a wonderful dad and Noah's behavior supports the appearance. Keep up the good work and take more pictures 📸

@eorsjr 11 месяцев назад

James: Do you like man made things in your photos? Noah: Yeah. James in his mind: I taught him well.

@VincentGirod 11 месяцев назад

Children at this age always say yes at your answers. Very fun thing to play with.

@andreasmolund 11 месяцев назад

James: Do you know what GPS is? Noah: Yea James: Yea? Clever boy

@Phank 11 месяцев назад

Any missed photos are your fault alone. Your assistant Noah did an amazing job. He reminded you so many times about your camera you forgot, and didn't let you get nearly as far as you normally do before remembering to go back for it.

Silly Daddy

@user-gk5gk5ov7s 11 месяцев назад

The most adorable assistant I’ve ever seen 😁

@MrRTMcguire 11 месяцев назад

My son is the same age. This is all far too relatable. Watching him stomp into the frame with his banana...that's your video shot of the year. 10/10.

@MrRTMcguire 11 месяцев назад

Adding: another curse of photography, especially when running, is being out on a run, seeing a PERFECT scene, and not having a camera with you to grab it.

@davidsirr9910 11 месяцев назад

My son is now in his fifties. He knows better than to go into something as foolish as photography. He races cars.

@naturebypamfitzpatrick2855 11 месяцев назад

Oh this is just the best! Noah is so adorable. One of my favorite things about your videos is that you are real with your viewers. Noah saying you left the camera is hilarious. The honesty of a 2 year old is priceless. Thanks for sharing your sweet boy with us. You two and your father son interactions brightened my day and made me smile.

@susanfirth2279 11 месяцев назад

Noah is a great assistant. He pointed out points of interest (windmill), reminded you to get your camera, agrees with you on man made objects ....adorable. You had a special day out with your little man.

@rptbr 11 месяцев назад

Lovely what a wholesome video! "Daddy, you forget camera" - cute!

@williamthompson5929 11 месяцев назад

It occurs to me that having someone for whom everything is new, interesting, and exciting is an ideal companion for a photographer who has become a little jaded and overaccustomed to the world he inhabits. Lovely video.

@paulasimson4939 11 месяцев назад

More Noah, please!!! James, this was such a charming video. Your channel is so different from everyone else's and I'm here for it!

@etaabyarn 11 месяцев назад

My favourite video of this year. Father and son, a great combination. Dry humour mixed with childhood innocence. You're on to a winner, more videos like this 😂

@albino7367 11 месяцев назад

“Hairy Father and the Photographer’s Curse” (Harry Potter?) Loved this. Beautiful father son time. Favorite shot at 5:50.

@5seadog 11 месяцев назад

Thanks James, you reminded me of how much I enjoyed having my kids with me when I hiked and attempted to do photography. Here I am thirty years later and they are carrying their own equipment. My daughter taught in France for a year upon graduation from university. I let her take my old dslr. She commented that when she would get home sick, she would take out that camera. She said the smell reminded her of me and helped her to not feel so alone. You may not have made many photos on this one, but sometimes the memories are so much more important.

@jeffreylewis2901 11 месяцев назад

This may be the best landscape-photographer-youtuber video I've seen. Doing anything with a small human involved requires considerably more effort, exponentially more time, usually more money, and probably generates more mistakes along the way. AND YET, it is far more worthwhile all the same. Well done, dad!

@00Ryder 11 месяцев назад

This is the most wholesome and adorable thing I’ve seen in a long time. As a new parent and photographer, I sincerely hope I get to do this with my boy.

@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname 11 месяцев назад

The best little helper you got there 😍 Noah is already having full check on daddy’s camera so silly daddy don’t forget anything

@elainejerauld4044 11 месяцев назад

Ah this feels more like a JP video. Your conversational style about what you see and what your plans are make the video so engaging. I'm looking forward to more of them. Noah's concern for the 'forgotten' camera is hilarious.

@LeeBrayshaw 11 месяцев назад

I don't think I've ever related more to a video on RU-vid.

@ericaceous1652 11 месяцев назад

"You're not quite grasping the idea of these shots are you?" "No" Funny little man 😄

@davidgillespie6604 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely the most charming photography video ever. Thanks so much for sharing your day with Noah. Although being covered with yogurt is far in my past, life in general has a way of crowding in on morning and evenings, especially when the light is good. Hang in there.

@AlaskaBrian 11 месяцев назад

As a father and photographer with a two year old, I can relate with this so much. Thank you!

@RickBebbington 11 месяцев назад

Engagement farming on a whole new level 🤣 I absolutely love this, had a smile on my face the whole way though 😀 You've found yourself a new niche!!

@ethanold9980 11 месяцев назад

As a 22 year old this video pulled on my heart strings like very few things have. Thank you for sharing such a precious video with us. ❤ your channel is top notch mate!

@quadrupleheart 6 дней назад

This is the cutest video I’ve seen in a while! I love how you talk to your son!

@jonstout7635 11 месяцев назад

This has to be in the top five of your videos - maybe number one for me. When my kids were small, one was always treated to going to work with me. It won’t be long and your son will be giving you photography tips. My son is now 34, loves photography, and has a great collection of digital and film cameras. I think I gave him a simple point and shoot camera when he was 5. All my kids got one, and my oldest girl majored in photography. Cheers!

@snead1 11 месяцев назад

Dude...This is literally my challenge.

@shanewhite4392 9 месяцев назад

This is such a great example of why I like James' videos, they're just so real! He leaves the real in and just knows that you're going to be OK with it, or you won't. I don't think he cares in the slightest. Genuine. It seems so refreshing. Crazy how it's become that way. Keep up the great vids. I'm learning a ton!

@krisweyers6248 10 месяцев назад

Oh my one of the most enjoyable videos ever! As a granny of 5 older grandkids, it was amazing to see a young dad with his son on an adventure! Well done Daddy! Do more Thursdays with daddy!😂

@mayhamilton6652 11 месяцев назад

Awww that was adorable. Loved Noah pointing out you forgetting your B roll camera ❤. Precious to have a video with him to look back on too.

@MadsPeterIversen 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic! ❤

@HowtwoPhoto 11 месяцев назад

Love this video, as a father and photographer this is so lovely to watch. Such a relaxed vibe and had me giggling all the way through. You're doing great as a dad, keep it up.

@satur9 11 месяцев назад

Noah's very patient for a 2 year old :-) Great video.

@PhilKnall 11 месяцев назад

I was just thinking that. If I left my 2yos in the car and film an intro like that, I'd get an earful when I open the door 😅

@r.wolfrum469 11 месяцев назад

Best assistent you can have, out there. Nice little guy and he is always thinking of nothing gets lost. 😅 I had laughing multiple times, because of his cuteness. And I hope this will be simular with my kids. 👍👍

@matsfotografi 11 месяцев назад

You could do a series of videos where Noah tries to find his favorite first camera😊 This was absolutely adorable, your communication sounded so wholesome!

@robkar623 11 месяцев назад

Cherish every moment you get like this, as all too quickly they grow up.

@Retset 11 месяцев назад

Priceless, especially Daddy "forgetting" his camera!

@Photosbykimrcanada 11 месяцев назад

It's a wonderful video on Scouting! We , your faithful fans, never judge. "Silly Daddy" Cheers from "across the pond. K

@TheeJaneDoe 11 месяцев назад

Oh he's adorable!! Love this 😊😀

@BenjaminLeeds 21 день назад

I've created these little straps that allow me to hook my camera to the shoulder straps of my hiking pack, and it makes the camera almost weightless. I'm using some paracord to make loops and then I have clips attached to my camera lugs which can clip off of my normal strap and onto the loops. It's a game changer!

@billywindsock9597 9 месяцев назад

Lucky lad, his dad sharing the world with him. Lucky dad, a healthy, curious child. Brilliant content.

@billwinward9324 11 месяцев назад

Love that moment at 5:50, you and Noah sitting on the rock chillin’.

@fredericofrancisco 11 месяцев назад

The highlight of the video is Noah going "baaaa" again and again and falling asleep. That straight up crack me up.

@raycarter4030 11 месяцев назад

oh bless, babba. beautiful boy.

@seantomlinson3320 11 месяцев назад

The Gruffalo! What an awesome book. This is so adorable. I love it. "Come on daddy." Aww.

@jonddeleon 9 месяцев назад

I feel so seen. I just got into photography this year while caring for my four year old son much of the time. I keep asking myself why I didn’t start before I had a kid! But at four, he’s a great helper and mostly patient, although location and time of day is so very limited.

@andy_crane 11 месяцев назад

Haha, made me chuckle and very true. Remember taking my daughter out in misty woodland conditions as my assistant once as she wanted to come. Trouble is I had the conditions and not sure pretending to be headless chickens was a game she enjoyed too much.

@klaras286 11 месяцев назад

....sooooo adorable assistant❤... don't you worry, after a few times you'll stop thinking that you have yogurt, ketchup or anything else on your t-shirt😊...it was big pleasure to watch you both... 🥰

@mattscott573 11 месяцев назад

What a fabulously cute assistant Noah makes. Certainly kept you on the straight and narrow. More please.

@shelleycrouch5074 11 месяцев назад

Thoroughly enjoyed that. I loved wearing my kids and letting them see the world with me. Also agree that they get in the way of doing all sort of things you were hoping to do on your own schedule but in compensation they also draw your attention to things you would not have otherwise seen. I hope you continue to have many fun walks and chats together!

@Barjavel88 11 месяцев назад

Do that often! They grow soo fast! Not sure I miss having them in a backpack but it is a fun period of life!

@timothysmallwood2367 11 месяцев назад

Love the “you forgot the camera”. It’s a bit like going to the loo: you know it happens but you prefer not to think about it.

@jonthan0011 9 месяцев назад

As a fairly new dad and photographer this video is so encouraging. Seeing that it's possible to do both together and not just get covered in yogurt all day.

@janehaycocks9629 11 месяцев назад

Fabulous! Always love your videos with many laugh out loud moments for me but this was on another level! 👏😍Wonderful times with your little man! Keep savouring the special outings regardless of the photos you get or don’t get! 💙

@_NoDrinkTheBleach 11 месяцев назад

I was going to shoot a really scenic park this past sunday, but I slept well past the good morning light because I went to a concert the night before. It's fun how something as basic as the position of the sun can turn your photos from publication worthy into snapshots you would immediately delete from your phone.

@brian8436 7 месяцев назад

I've got a little one about the same age as yours. At the end of this video, when you say you didn't get anything good at all, it makes me think that you may think differently in a few years when some of these photos may remind you of this day you spent with your little guy on your back. Maybe it happens often enough for this to not be much of a memorable day, but I'd cherish a day like that and the boring photos I took quite a bit!

@DaciaandtheDude 11 месяцев назад

Aww, Noah is so cute, this video just reminds me of when i used to go on photography days and weekends later in life with my son, we loved it, so much bonding happening and you don't even know it. 15 years later, my son and i still do it and even better now he has his own camera setup, thanks to Santa, he's actually doing photography in his GCSEs this year and uses some off his pics taken as homework. Great video James, these are memories to treasure

@alnordgren 11 месяцев назад

Your son is adorable. Years from now you will cherish those memories of taking him with you. Enjoy each moment. My little boy is now 49 years old.

@DominikMarczuk 11 месяцев назад

So very relatable. My weekend hike looked pretty much the same: pretty surroundings, poor light conditions and a toddler assistant. I managed to take one photo. And it wasn't a good one.

@34Media 11 месяцев назад

reminds me of my lad , started taking him when he was 2 as well now 6 and still enjoy it makes you enjoy the mornings a little more for me . and his even started taking some photos (pushing the button ) but he tells his mum he took them lol enjoy it mate they get big too quickly .

@Cunabula_Adrian 11 месяцев назад

I feel your pain about the curse, I've been Mum's main carer for a year now, don't begrudge it a bit and it is getting easier, but breakfast and whatnot coinciding with the good light is... well I can see it out of the window, so there is at least that. And then the weather's rubbish on my days off :)

@christophergodfrey3009 11 месяцев назад

As a father of 3 I absolutely loved this. Great effort. Beautiful video, .

@rraschka2112 11 месяцев назад

I tried to do something similar to this with my son, but he's 27 and tends to fuss a bit more in the back carrier. This is possibly the best RU-vid video you've made so far.

@localnavy433 11 месяцев назад

This is your best video ever. It reminded me of when you started. The dry humor was great. The parts where you explained how RU-vid works was gold my friend.

@mpearce888 11 месяцев назад

Great video. I can definitely relate with a one year old who doesn't enjoy the camera strap dangling in her face every time we see a nice fence/gate combo.

@qkamoen 7 месяцев назад

This is the funniest and adorable video ever seen. So sweet how you talk with your son and how he sees the world. Maybe it is a idea to make a video with him and photograph what he like to photograph

@martinlemke4440 11 месяцев назад

Very cute little assistent, Always caring about your camera... ❤

@katemaxwell6061 3 месяца назад

Just love this video: the real not the ideal, the world rediscovered, and a beautiful parent/child team effort.

@simonjenkinson8537 11 месяцев назад

Appreciating the parents comment was tongue in cheek but after three kids and not a single day of parental childcare ever, I can say embrace any help you’re getting. Wife and I have had two nights off in 12 years…

@HughRaine 6 месяцев назад

The way he says, "Yeah!" at @1:28 reminds me of my own. ❤

@StuartWeir 11 месяцев назад

As a new dad to a son, this speaks to me in a way that I don’t think it would have last year

@ericredelman2568 6 месяцев назад

I can not wait until my litle one can go on these kinds of adventures with me! Love your stuff James. Cheers from across the pond brother

@ChrisGower 11 месяцев назад

As the dad of a two year old - hiking with my daughter, with my camera is one of my favourite things. This is both great to see and infinitely relatable. Every time she asks me to pick a flower for her, or says 'wow' at something she finds impressive (but is usually just a funny looking tree stump), or asks me to find more animal poo. Both amusing and endearing. Fun joint activity and i get to scratch my creative itch. Loved this video.

@FeralGinger 11 месяцев назад

Some fantastic parenting on display here and still a great watch, thanks for taking the time to continue making these!

@paulshaffer6492 11 месяцев назад

This was such an authentic video and didn't seem a million miles from your usual genuine content. I was smirking constantly and I loved the banter....

@hobbytake2845 11 месяцев назад

Just adorable! Real life for sure.

@davethehobbit107 11 месяцев назад

Loving this video bud, not only is it still informative, but you are teaching your kiddo and spending time with him. You can't put a price on this. Enjoy it while it last and keep up the amazing work.

@marijanespeer2096 11 месяцев назад

Your assistant is adorable. Hopefully you won't ever lose a camera by forgetting where you put it.

@garrydelday5816 11 месяцев назад

Adorable 😉 just remember when you turn around to talk to Noah he’s probably witnessing 9g 😂 “go and get the camera silly daddy” lol. Father, son bonding 👍📷

@johnlinney8685 11 месяцев назад

Always handy to have the critique of a 2 yr old. He’s a star

@Jake-vt4ow 11 месяцев назад

Wonderful!❤

@rickbrowne519 11 месяцев назад

What a riot! Although perhaps you didn't think trying to take your son for a walk while you video recorded the experience and tried to take photographs. Trust me, when your son is grown and you review this video, you'll smile and smile!

@washingtonradio 11 месяцев назад

The curse of every photographer is not the cute assistant but the variable conditions we face when going out

@lawrencebutlerperks7657 11 месяцев назад

What an excellent assistant! Thank you for sharing such a heartwarming video.

@sansr9767 11 месяцев назад

Great. Well done to Noah. Reminds me of when my daughter was young and her dad took her on his back - I had the excuse that I couldn't take the weight!

@Daisy-bt7li 11 месяцев назад

Awww! So sweet ❤

@inshadowz 11 месяцев назад

Noah owns this video hands down! My own kids (25 and 32) are a tad too heavy to carry around like that, but when or if I have any grandkids I'll definitely want to do this :)

@Picplosions 11 месяцев назад

Love this one, my one just turned 5 and she loves taking her camera out 😁.

@JonathanAdami 11 месяцев назад

So relatable... Not only because my son is called Noa and the same age, but also cuz I'm looking at my photo reel and feel like I'm a failure most days lol thanks for the video! Good stuff, you rock!

@denisesavage2382 11 месяцев назад

Daddy you get camera! Hahahaha. They don't miss a trick these young ones. You did well James. It can be tough when you've got a little chatter box with you. Was great to see the interaction you shared as you noticed things and took photos. And you've a little explorer - that's fantastic. I miss and I don't miss these days with little ones. My kids are now teenagers and I'm still waiting for the opportunity to be free of responsibilities to get out at various times of the day.

@clfurness 8 месяцев назад

It seems im not the first to mention this, but i dont normally like kids that much and I struggle with them a lot. This video on the other hand is an inspiration and i really enjoyed watching you two walking around scouting for shots 🥹

@ChristineWilsonPhotography 11 месяцев назад

I used to use the back back all the time its the only way to travel with kids and photography, but it doesn't last they get too heavy eventually 😊 interestingly though they both took photography as a media subject in highschool , that don't pursue it now but I fully expect that one of them might get back to it later , who knows 😊

@CassidyHansen 11 месяцев назад

Super fun seeing you two explore!

@johndurham5629 11 месяцев назад

A wonderfully expressive video about your love for your son and for photography - so calm and measured, just as you seem to be in all of your videos. Just great - thanks James!

@robertschwarze9953 11 месяцев назад

I adore this video. Great one. And a great assistant you have on your side.

@markmedlock6985 11 месяцев назад

GOLD!!!

@Bernatchly 11 месяцев назад

I think this is one of my favourite videos you’ve done, largely because your kiddo is adorable, and I can commiserate as a dad to an amazing and rambunctious nearly-four-year-old daughter 😊 The candid moments you shared with us of you two were just wonderful, while you still put forth your usual humour and effort to talk to your audience. This is inspiring me to take my daughter out for some photo walks, and get her to take her camera too! ($10 cheapo from a thrift store.. not bothered if it breaks 😉 )

@TheSannaeriksson 11 месяцев назад

Hahaha 😂 He is really a cute boy! They grow up fast and in a short time he will be your best assistent and soon enough he want to have a camera of his own. ❤
