This channel was formally known as Jank Town. I will forever remember that name, and it's goals. But I have grown and learned more about random names, and have fallen for a new one.
Loaf Made will be a channel that talks about photography, film, the brand that is loaf made and more.

The Perfect Reading List Object
I firmly believe that books are special. Creating a book, whether it's good or bad, is no easy feat. Producing a great book is an achievement as significant as any. When you read a book and truly connect with it, there is something spiritual about it-a new connection is made. This happens with films and television as well, but books, being physical objects, become more than just stories; they become cherished items.
Bookstores and libraries are magical places, filled with our history in fact and fiction. Books deserve to be in special places. In Japanese folklore, there is a term, Tsukumogami, which refers to tools acquiring a spirit, or kami, over time. Since I believe books have a spirit, the places they are kept should evoke a similar feeling.
Not everyone has the luxury of a beautifully built-in bookshelf or library to store their books or reading lists. Over the past year and a half, I have been working on an idea that offers a satisfying way to keep books in one place, more connected than a shelf.
This is where the Loaf Ends were born. Technically, it is a book cubby rather than bookends, but Loaf Ends sounds much better. After countless drawings and a few rough prototypes, I knew this would be a great object. Fortunately, my good friend Craig, who is skilled in woodworking, was able to execute this first limited run of Loaf Ends.

The Perfect Tool For A Project

I think every task or project requires a specific tool that carries the work load. Ansel Adams said, "Do not lose sight of the essential importance of craft; every worthwhile human endeavor depends on the highest levels of concentration and mastery of basic tools.” Please comment what you think and if you liked the video, subscribe! more info on Hasselblad: www.hasselblad.com/about/history/500-...

Don’t know a thing about cameras but your photos are beautiful. Liked and subbed.
Incredible photography! The visuals are lovely. Subbed and liking and commenting!
Is it too much to stain and finish one of these? Then I might consider buying one, depending on the price. Cheers!
Love the video, your studio, the music and what I thought was an Indian (Native) painting. I’m NDN (as we say) and I liked the glimpse I saw. I’m going to follow just for the heck of it and hopefully you’ll get a bazillion subscribers at some point! Keep making those vids!
Where can we find Best Made Co??
I'm happy with the Rollei combo: Rolleicord/flex TLR for simplicity, and SL66 for more features (multiple lenses, film backs, etc). After some time shooting with 6x6, 35mm felt less exciting. Of course, I typically prefer shooting objects instead of peoples, sometimes on tripod. Pretty sure every photographer have different favourite genre, different workflows, and thus different favourite cameras. For some, 35mm is sufficient. And for some, perhaps shouldn't be less than a 4x5.
couldn’t agree more !
Very nice! Love the colors and how the images are keeping highlights and contrast. ❤ keep up the nice work!
Thank you so much!
I love the aesthetic of the video, the vibe, calming with a little bit of sadness on top of it. Calmly, slowly describing the feeling of losing the joy of getting satisfied with a simple yet meaningful thing, thinking the joy will disappear forever, then surprised by the fact that there’s a chance that it will come back again, and that’s the reason why this video was born. It’s just heartwarming.
Your video is CRAZY! It's nostalgic and inspiring at the same time.
Can anyone tell me the name of the music?
nice collection 🙂
Great stuff
Any camera can do! I avoided it's use (the Hasselblad) at all times! BS buddy!
?
The 395 collection sounds epic
J'aime particulièrement ce que vous faites, et je me retrouve dans certaines de vos photos. Au début de la vidéo, vous montrez un N i k o n , et ensuite des appareils prestigieux ( L e i c a, H a s s e l b l a d etc) C'est bien d'essayer avec les appareils prestigieux, mais si vous êtes réellement photographe, essayez N i k o n, que vous avez dans le film, ensuite essayez le modèle D 7500 avec une optique ( 10 - 20 numérique ) ce qui fait 15 - 30 en analogique. Pour la netteté et la qualité de la photo, vous ne verrez pas la différence.( p e r i c l e s 32410) Si vous voulez venir au Festival de Bandas à C o n d o m du 10 au 13 mai 2024, je vous le conseille très fortement, vous reviendrez avec des souvenirs qui dureront encore longtemps (gardez votre L e i c a) vous aurez tout ( bonne musique,très bonne table, du bon vin.et faire la fête jusqu'au bout de la nuit, et aller manger ou digérer à la fête foraine.
Nice black and white!
Damn, When i saw the thumbnail and the starting of the video, I thought it must have like a million views but to my surprise, not really, not even 25k, but the video is top notch, the videography, story telling and aesthetics of the video, everything is just immaculate. I hope you actually reach 'BEST MADE' and they start making those red notebooks :) <3
I want one so bad man
Based vid
Honestly man I think its a camera I will never get rid of, stays around my neck 24/7 and just feels solid 100% of the time
How do get to sleep or go for a shower without damaging the camera and lens?
I will buy at least two packs if they come back! Never again will i take a notebook for granted
Beautiful contrasty color, you're a great photographer.
Thank you !
Great video. I love my M6, and shoot film frequently.
Nice video! I got an M6 and a lot of what you said resonated with me. I also make videos about photography, so if you're interested 🙂
Battery independent manual/mechanical cameras are perfect for me. The Leica M6 is my perfect 35mm film rangefinder camera. I use it with 21/35/90mm leases. The Nikon F2 with non-metering prism finder is my perfect 35mm film SLR camera. I use it with lenses that range in focal length from 14mm to 1000mm.
I do own Leica MP for a year or more, my first one. Before I had few digital and some medium format film cameras, 35mm film cameras too. Where every of it had different purpose and the way it works. If compared to 35mm film cameras I had (F5/F100) the output is top notch for any of it, either it's Nikon or Leica. From creativity perspective Leica brings no advantage as well. Buuuut there's another aspect, camera itself, the device - that MP brings some magic. I'd say that I always want to carry it with me, just shoot and shoot, roll after roll. All that swiftness in rewinding, how stupidly simply it's, weight and physical balance in everything, how surfaces are machined etc. etc. I want to touch it everyday, that's what I've been doing actually so it gets patina, regardless it feels and looks even better.
Love your photos. Let them have more time to shine during your videos.
Seriously, your photos are amazing! I use a Leica M3 with 50mm lens and a Leica M5 with 35mm for my travel and street photos. When I want to shoot portraits, I break out the Hasselblad 500 CM or Mamiya RB67. Different tools for different jobs!
I love the m5, the meter in it seems great also. Thanks for the kind words
Perfection all around
hahah amazing I hope you get your notebooks
I enjoyed your video. Bought a Leica BP MP in February and loving the camera. It has everything I like in an M film camera.
Liked, and subscribed! Handling a Leica MP was a seed that was planted, probably about a decade ago, that eventually resulted in my adding the Leica M system in 2018, though I started with a new M10 and a pre-owned Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, a retirement gift to myself. In the longer term, film cameras are longer-lasting, so, an MP remains on my wish/grail list. (For now, I can shoot 35mm film with a Nikon SLR, the FM3A, which can be used with a battery to power the meter, or shot without battery/meter.)
The old nikons are all beasts ! Great cameras, im so use to rangefinder system now I feel weird with slrs. But One day id love to get a clean nikon set up. Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now vibes will always make those Nikons cool
Enjoyable presentation.
Excellent video
that's a good one
There is no Sony in film history.
Konica-Minolta, which, had a lot of collaboration between leica. Leaned heavily on leica philosophy when it came to optical design They used bits from leica to develop the first AF system. The R3 to the R7 was co-devloped with Minolta. Sony bought all of Konica-Minolta in the 00's.
Get a sony
as a long term user, you are cheating yourself! Leica-M are a lousy way, to creativity! The meter very basic! Viewfinder hobbles your seeing! Yes RF is more accurate than any AF! My M-3 is now 57 years in service with me! Enjoy your Leica-MP.
best use of post it notes I've seen in 2024
What’s your perfect 35mm film stock to go with your perfect 35mm camera? :)
I think portra 400, I know what Ill get. But i shoot everything pretty much
I think I'm in the weird bunch that prefer gold over potra for kodak colour neg
Ilford XP2.
I reached out to the owner through the temporary website and he plans to re-release these this fall!
thats amazing
buddy your videos are nice. but you need to put a little more effort to make your audio sound good. the mic handling noise, the pops and all are really distracting.there is a simple way to solve it. just export the mic output and process it in adobe AI Vocal enhancer its free and it works well. just check it out or manually process the vocal.
Working on it
I am always on the lookout for a good notebook (and pens!). I hope these do come back so I can try it out.
You totally sold me on this notebook lol😅
Hope these come back!
i need one now lol
love the vid. what's the name of that song? guessing it's from musicbed?
I'm leaving this comment to boost this video!!! I like Travellers Notebooks personally so i wont even get one but I FEEL FOR YOU BRO. Good luck with this endeavor.
Mate the vibe of this video - aesthetic, ethos, editing and ambient music - all fantastic. Keep going!
Thank You!
Good luck bro, hopefully they´ll see this video und reach out to you. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Appreciate it
