Hey Logan, I saw this when you first did it. I came back to watch again. I could not find if I commented previously. It is so nicely done. Thanks for sharing it. Your grandparents were a huge part of my young years growing up in Angelo. I was very sad at the passing of each of them. Even now a year later, just watching this and hearing your mention of their passing was very emotional for me. I loved them both very much. They meant so much to me and are a large part of who I am and my life. Continue to enjoy your journey. -Terry
Wow, thank you for sending this Terry. It’s extremely touching to hear their warmth extended beyond our family. Hope you are well.
Over a year and well worth the wait. Moved me to tears. Perfectly told, Logan.
I just recently made a trip to North Carolina with my mom to visit family we haven't seen in about 18 years. My dad's uncle and his wife were a huge part of my childhood, they were basically my grandparents. But shortly before my great uncle died, they moved from California back home to NC. Now his wife has dementia and it's progressing, so my mom and I decided that a trip was way overdue. During that trip we got to look through their house and belongings to see what we wanted to bring back before my great aunt's daughter sold it. In there we found lots of photos from decades past when they were newly wed, traveling the country, visiting other sides of the family, etc. All similar to ones in this video, they remind me a lot of my family. I got to see glimpses of their youth, of my dad and aunt when they were my age, and my grandma who died before I turned 1. I got to keep my great uncle's old film cameras, his leather work bag, a cap, and some landscape paintings they inherited from my great great grandma. I got to visit his grave and see his final resting place. Seeing all that history was very cathartic, and although I was only a child when I got to spend time with my dad's side of the family, I can't help but feel connected to them as I travel through the Southwest, and live through them by carrying on their hobbies, interests, belongings etc. I grieve not knowing more about them and our time together being cut short. I hope to honor their spirits by making it apart of me. I'm glad this video came across my screen and know I'm not alone.
Just beautiful!
Amazing amazing amazing. So impressive, so many elements that really tell human story.

Sorry to hear of your family's loss. You are in my old stomping grounds. I used to live in Terlingua and Lajitas. Love the Big Bend area.

Missed these videos man, I go back and watch your old stuff often. Beautiful imagery and stories as always. Alice seems like a real character!
I‘m glad you‘re back. I‘m glad you‘re still this empathetic mind. And I‘m glad you still care to capture and share these precious moments. Thank you!

I never leave comments on YT, but 1)sorry for your loss, 2)what a beautiful video 🙂
Just beautiful dude ❤

Im sorry for your loss! But this was a beautiful video from you. I was already waiting and hoping for another video of you. I hope your family will also “enjoy” watching this video together with you. And bring back some memories together. Thank you ❤
This was so powerful. I recently lost both my grandmothers over the last 8 months, looking through the old photos was a treasure. Thank you for opening up and showing/speaking on how important family can be. Wishing you well ✨
so beautiful, thank you for sharing something so special and personal.
I’m so sorry for your loss. This was a really moving and beautiful video. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Beautiful Video
Oh my man, your are back!!! 🎉
Very excited to watch this; very excited you made this. Thank you for taking the time for these videos.
Beautiful episode, Logan
This was really well assembled in a way that feels intuitive and familiar but also atypical of and counter to a lot of the content I think most of us consume. The sequencing was so good.
Thank god, you are back 😢❤
Dear lord, how do you pack so much emotion and quality into a 10 min video. Amazing
That was a beautiful film. Thank you sir.
Цікава історія. Дякую, що поділилися
This is beautiful, Logan
Just amazing. Thank you for telling us that story with such talent. Photography is so damn powerful...
It’s wild that I’m always disappointed when your videos end, I wish they could keep going. Thanks for making great content that rises to the top of everything else being put out right now, it’s a nice breath of air
Really beautiful Logan, thanks for sharing!
Amazing storytelling and cinematography!
This was beautiful man! Hope you’re doing good!
Welcome back man, beautiful storytelling. More then just a UA-cam video. Excited to see what you have in the pipeline
This rules
Thanks, Willem!!
This was wonderful, was keenly waiting for another beautiful video from you
Your videos are such high quality. I first saw your NYC video a few years ago and it’s stuck with me ever since, but I could never find it again. Low and behold this one pops up in my recommendations and I instantly knew you were the same guy. You have a unique style of video making, and I look forward to seeing more!
Miss you
This is absolutely beautiful.
Man I was so moved by this, thank you so much for sharing this journey and telling the story in this special way. Always a true gift when I see a new Logan Baker vid appear.
Love you
Born in Odessa,Tx but my family is from Persidio and Ft.Davis nothing can beat the sky at dawn and dusk there is magic in the sky even here in Odessa the West Texas sky speaks to your soul.
Completely agree. I was born in Odessa as well, the skies are unmatched.
What a gorgeous video. Missing your content a bunch, but this was worth the wait.
Incredibly touching. Really well done, man.
Such a beautiful documentary!
So good to see you back!
very nice dude! ❤
sorry to hear about your grandpa, but glad this was a cathartic experience, and offered some closure.
Thanks, Keaton!
Absurdly beautiful Logan. Thank you for sharing such a personal project, I lost my mother this past December and this really hit a cord. Glad to see you sharing your art again, I'll definitely be coming back to this video many more times in the future. Hope you and your family are well.
Hey Aaron, thanks for the kind words. So sorry to hear about your mother. Sending love to you and your family
@@loganguybaker Thank you Logan.
Wonderful video Logan! I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your grandparents.
The usage of your family images as well as historical photographs really helps drives home a sense of place that is West Texas
Thanks, Bren. Always excited for your next video.
@@loganguybaker Thanks Logan! There's one on the way manana
damn! welcome back!
The landscape footage in this is breathtaking. Makes me wanna get into 16mm
It's good to have you back. I'm very sorry for your loss. You've really conveyed a sense of history with this one.
PS. I tried getting in touch a while ago about a university paper I wrote about photography museum exhibitions compared to UA-cam where I used one of your videos as an example of great cinematic storytelling. I'd be happy to send it to you if you're interested.
Hey Christian, so sorry I missed this. Thank you for such kind words! If you still have the paper I'd love to read it. Feel free to send to loganbaker40@gmail.com
West Texas is one of those places people love to dunk on for having nothing to see, but your images proved them wrong. Good stuff and I hope you find the time to do more uploads!
best cotent~ 😌
Really great, man.
Beautiful. Thank you for making this. Does anyone know the name of the last song with the piano?
Man, it is nice to see an upload from you. Your channel is a diamond in the rough, and I hope there’s more coming soon.
Condolences to your family. This was a nice tribute to your grandfather, and I hope you found some peace in creating it.
And for the love of god, can someone please help me remember what jingle sampled the song at 00:31?!
it's the Nokia ringtone :P ua-cam.com/video/Vk4KK-gh0FM/v-deo.html
