At the recent virtual photography show Kevin Mullins gave a presentation where he said what photographers are doing is "making a pictorial legacy, creating pictures that people will look at in the future, and that a photograph doesn't have to be good, it just needs to be important." And the most important photographs are of family, friends and times like these.
Is this the first time you appear in one of your videos? Ha! Man, I miss the sunshine, the water, going out... A good way to say goodbye to Summer, indeed. Now, every time I see more pictures with the 18, the more I want it. Or perhaps I want to be traveling. Oh, well. Great as always, Chris.
Thanks José - I think my hands appear in one video :-) But it's my face's debut in moving video! Yep, that 18mm really is fantastic and it's not too expensive. Maybe get it for next summer!
Thanks so much Jonathan, that's really kind. I hope you're well out there in California! I've spent just a few days in your state and had the best time.
Wonderful video Chris and spot on sentiments about summer and sunny days on the river, perfect viewing for my Sunday. Lovely images and you have very photogenic parents 😊
Another enjoyable video Chris. It's great to see how people and families spend their time outside of work. Nice sentiments about summer also. Having lived in the UK I always feel a bit guilty declaring to my northern hemisphere friends that spring is coming here in Australia as it squarely places colder times ahead for them. Also a great surprise to see you in the video at the end. Wishing you, your friends and family good health over the winter until you can enjoy the warm sun again out on the water. Cheers from Adelaide.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. Summer is always something to look forward to and it's nice to know it's on the way for you. It's not so easy to escape the winter right now with all that's going on in the world, but hopefully it won't be for long. Thanks again.
Another great video from you Chris. You define the word "nostalgia", and always manage to turn the ordinary into the exceptional. I'm going out later today to buy my outfit for next year's party invitation.
Congratulations on the 5k Chris! It’s been fun watching you grow.. thanks for sharing the nice outing with your folks. Greetings from Jersey(the US one!)
Thanks for sharing. Great video and pictures! I'm in Phoenix and I'm praying for summer to be over. Still 102 here today. It should be cool enough in late October to go out and take some pictures : )
Thank you Richard. When it's cold I find it hard to imagine that it could be too hot. I was in Phoenix last year and there's a video from there somewhere on my channel. I hope the fall arrives soon for you.
@@ChrisBoland Also a great video! When fall finally arrives, I'll go find that little yellow building you photographed. Thanks for the inspiration to go out and take photos!
I'm late to the party, but this was very cool to watch Chris :) glad you had a chance to a few moments of sanity in this whole write-off of a year lol. You were luckier than most of us, but then again you probably know that, not trying to rub it in haha!
Thanks David. I had the first four X100 cameras and loved them. However, this year I sold my X100F and haven't replaced it. For the time being I'm happy with the larger camera, but of course, I sure would love the V, it really looks fantastic.
Documented memories of the simple life, as opposed to the fake glam style of todays must have instagram profiles are way more important in life. Great ‘MUG’ shots of your parents.
Yay...a little bit of you featuring at the end for once :-) Nice.
🙂🙂 Thank you Ted.
You've got the most relaxing voice ever
Thank you 😊
Hi Chris ..... time passes peacefully looking at your videos and images ..... a very good moment. Thank you sir 👍
Thanks very much indeed for watching 👍

That's a really lovely way of looking at things - Kevin certainly had that positive outlook.
Thank you for sharing your personal photos with us. They're beautiful. Nice video like always 👌😊
Thanks as always Christian 🙂
Looked like a great day on the water ! Wonderful captures Chris !
Cheers Darren!
Wonderful memories. Everyone looks so happy :)
Thank you, absolutely, it was a happy day 🙂

Your narrative is always spot on and real. Can't really explain it but your videos are such a pleasure to watch AND listen too. Cheers
Thank you Michael, that's a great thing to say, thank you 🙂👍
Hello from Whittier CA, your videos are always such a joy to watch. So simple yet filled with care and thought towards humanity. 👊👍
Thanks so much Jonathan, that's really kind. I hope you're well out there in California! I've spent just a few days in your state and had the best time.

Thank you Alfie :-) I'll let them know - although they sometimes read the comments :-)

Absolutely love your photos, your editing and videos. They are just beautiful! Had a giggle with the ocasional pandemic comment 😏
Thank you very much Natalia, I'm so glad you like them! You've got to laugh about it haven't you 😅🤣😭

Thanks very much Lou!
Really liked that last portion of you waving, almost had a 1960s Super 8 feel.
Thank you, I felt that too. Just my dad's old mobile phone 🙂

I'll find the the location for you! 😊

Thank you! 🙂 You're right, it's been a bad year for lots of people, so mustn't grumble 🙂 Thanks for watching.
I was wondering if you would make a book of your pictures. I would definitely buy it
Thank you very much Natalia, I will definitely think of doing this. Maybe next year 🙂 Thank you.
great!
Thank you 👍🙂👍🙂
Nice video. But wondering what happened to one camera, one lens - the X100?
Thanks David. I had the first four X100 cameras and loved them. However, this year I sold my X100F and haven't replaced it. For the time being I'm happy with the larger camera, but of course, I sure would love the V, it really looks fantastic.
I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice color. Is it Fujifilm color or made in Lightroom?
Thank you! It's all edited and played around with in Lightroom.
@@ChrisBoland
Don't you like the film simulations?
I do use them quite often. I like Classic Chrome with the saturation up a bit. But I always tend to play around with them a bit.
Documented memories of the simple life, as opposed to the fake glam style of todays must have instagram profiles are way more important in life. Great ‘MUG’ shots of your parents.
Thank you Stefan 🙂
5,000 people that know good when they see and hear it.
Thank you 🙂🙂
