You’re absolutely right. I regret not taking enough photos with and of my dad. I regret working a job that took so much of my time that I missed 12 years of memories with him and my daughter. I left that job and started working for my self so I could be here for my newborn son, but I wish I could go back and redo everything. 70k a year wasnt worth it for everything I missed. Just to buy shit to impress people that don’t matter. Now working from home for myself gives me much more memories that make me happy. Sure I’m barely making it, but I have everything I need and get to watch my kids grow.
Thanks for sharing, I’m glad you took the steps to do that and focus on what’s important. Hope you make tons of new memories with your family.
That was beautifully presented.
My grandfather passed away three weeks ago and this got me. At his funeral, they used a candid picture I took of him hugging my uncle. For the rest of my life I will be thankful that I captured that moment. Cheers.
❤️ So sorry to hear that. Glad you have that photo memory. thanks for sharing with me.
Documenting everyday life is important to me to. Keeping memories of the famille. Timeless
Thanks for. watching!'
I share your sentiment regarding reality and social media. Shooting to grab moments of reality is showing the soft underbelly of one’s reality - the opposite of building a front for consumption by the algorithms.
Documentary is where it's at for me.
I feel that! Thanks for watching kevin
These are beautiful moments with a wonderful dialogue. Thanks for the inspiration, and sorry for your loss.
Fabulous….thanks for sharing those moments with us….😘🇬🇧📸🌈
Thanks for taking the time to watch appreciate it!
I watched this and liked it. A few weeks later (now) i saw it again and truly enjoyed it one more. The message is so beautiful and inspiring, the video fits such a peaceful vibe. I wish i could like it a few more times.
Beautifully explained. Amazing images as well. Thanks for sharing
Yep, I wholeheartedly agree. Thanks for the reminder. 👍👍
thanks for tapping in!
so many times people ask why I’m taking photos of some moments and situations, like not grasping what is happening. It is for memories, even if it’s not a amazing phenomenon happening, it’s life going by and I want that a bit more… I totally relate to this video. loved it!
Yep that's how it is sometimes but when you show them the full body of images together it all makes sense.
Beautiful video and message.. Social has made us searching for beautiful shots. While neglecting everyday moments.
So beautiful Eddie. Documenting normality is one of the best things you can do.
Thanks Thomas, we gotta hang again soon.
@@eddie_g absolutely!
Beautiful video and even more beautiful words. Love it bro
Glad you enjoyed it thanks tim!
So inspiring
Love this, all of it. During lockdown, I went through every single one of my family film photos (from even before I was born) and scanned them to preserve them. Photos of loved ones always hold the biggest weight.
thats whats up. im still working through doing that myself. appreciate the watch Matthew!
Beautiful Images!
Thank you for sharing this very important message Edward 💛💛💛
Dope, thanks for this
Excellent story teller of life and excellent cinematographer!
thank you for taking the time to watch
Such a beautiful video Edward, really appreciated it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you so much man, this was beautiful.
I absolutely love this. So many of us take for granted the small things that make up our life. You did an excellent job of reminding us to observe and appreciate every moment. Thank you.
Yes! Thank you! appreciate the watch.
Thanks bro, this is all the motivation I needed.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
As someone who recently got into photography and also had my dad pass, this hit on a completely different level that makes me feel so much more inspired to document time with family and friends. Thank you for sharing.
Sorry for you loss. I hope you manly some great pictures.
Maaan you really touch my heart! Thank you, thank you so much for this video and for your thoughts. Un abrazo grande!
Much love! Thanks for watching glad I could.
wow, well done
Thank for watching Ribs!
Man this is so important! Thank you for making this film!
Thank you for watching! Means a lot
Thanks for sharing this important message, Edward. You've nailed why I always feel I should have a camera in my hand on vacations, during family visits, etc. It's to be intentional with documenting moments of life. A smartphone is OK for doing this, but I find I do a better job of remembering to do it with a dedicated camera. Plus those pics get stored in a more reliable way than the cloud. God is good.
Thanks Lucas!
Thank you for sharing.
appreciate the watch!
These are beautiful photographs, and a lovely film.
Thank you appreciate it!
Big words. One might sense the value of images quite differently when adding 20-50yrs time on them.
Man! 🥺
❤️
Incredible documentary Eddie!! All the way around from the narration to the filming to the photos. I loved it!
thank you rudy!
Well said sir.
This is the exact reason that I've sunk down the rabbit hole of finding the camera(s) that work best for me. Documenting life and family is so important. Beautiful video.
Thanks for watching, yea i understand that, and its crucial that you do.
Thank You Edward for this touching inspiration and motivation. Have been doing this with my family for years via formal group shots with a medium format Rolleiflex 6002 6x6 (now a GFX50R is applied). Though, now recently a Leica Q2 helps in capturing these mundane moments (before a X100, X100V). Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for watching, glad to hear that. Those shots are gonna mean so much for generations to come!
An extremely thoughtful piece, thank you.
Appreciate it
Nice words. How true
Beautiful video Edward
Thanks Ben Appreciate the watch!
Stunning
Whenever I go through family photos the ones I gravitate towards aren’t the posed shots or vacation scenes of places I hardly remember. It’s the photos that capture regular life. They take me back to that time. I’ve picked up and put down photography as a hobby multiple times. I like the idea of using it to document everyday life. It’s got me feeling motivated to start again
Hello.
I wanted to say thank you for this video, I just lost my father and it did me a lot of good. May god keep you and your family. Thank you 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Jude, Im terribly sorry to hear that. So sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you. Relax and mourn man, it's not easy.
Inspiring.
Beautiful piece broman
Love your work. Tone. Content. Thank you.
Much appreciated! thanks for watching!
Beautiful video ❤
This was so beautiful 💕❤️. Love your videos. Keep Creating and Inspiring. Sending Best Wishes!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful. There has been times where I’d think I was capturing and posting too much about my family and that it might bore ppl. But in the end those are the posts I look back on the most.
That's what its all about don't worry about what others think cuz in the end family is all that matters.
Felt this man, really well done!
Thank you
Great video.
Wow.. you really took me there with you man. And is that your dads 528is? My dad had a 325i and he passed that to me as my first car. So thats beautiful. An amazing machine. You know when you just touch something and it doesn't matter it's just a steering wheel or a handle or a cup, but just touching some object brings you that feeling of actually touching a person you love?
Well wow great video. Keep it all the way up. Stay blessed.
Yes it is he has a good handful of beamers left for me and the fam. Yea I get that feeling all the time. I guess that’s why I spend so much time In his garage. His presence is definitely in there.
Thanks for watching.
Excellent content and message. All 100% accurate. One day, all we’ll have is the memories. Life is not about the stuff we own, but the experiences we have. Pick up your camera and document those experiences. They will mean more to you as time goes by.
so true! Thanks for watching
Edward, sorry to hear you lost your father too soon. Blessings! And thank you for the raw and authentic you. Be well and best to you and your family as you continue your life journey.
thank you Matthew! Very much appreciated!
Man great video!!!
Thanks for watching appreciate it!
Amazing video brother. The now is truly all there is and should be appreciated in all its entirety. Thank you so much for such a beautiful message. Sending you love ♥️
Thanks Shingie! There is only one journey for all of us so gotta do the most we can with it!
@@eddie_g - Very true brother and I'm happy you have that clarity. I'm learning to look more around me as opposed to whats to come because whats around us is already just as important as whats to come. Continue inspiring brother.
I just subscribed. Great work Edward.
Aye thank you! Appreciate the support!
This is so beautiful, man! Thanks for being an inspiration.
Thanks for taking the time to watch
masterpiece. amazing work man.. made me think about why i fell in love with photography in the first place.
Thats whats up, thanks for watching
Do what you love and love what you do. This was very inspiring bc I also love the camera for the reasons you have mentioned but also touching to the heart, it beholds what your dad poured out, God's word with everything he had. Thank you for sharing the intimacy documentaries of yourself and family . Ever breathe is truly precious a gift. Keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you, appreciate those words!
beautifully done Edward, love the mood of this video. Photography should be just that, it doesn't have to be anything epic, the best photos are always just the ones of the mundane that mean the most to us and no one else.
Agree Jay, thanks for watching!
This was good my man.. I really appreciate documentary style work.. GOD bless!!
Thanks for watching!
