      Hi Lucas, thanks so much for the comment! Can't believe how many likes this one has gotten!!! I really don't know what to say except thanks for taking the time to reach out and engage! We really love hearing how people are engaging in their own way with the videos because it makes it feel like a real community we are slowly building on here! ---Lou

    Dear Lou & Dana
    Honestly this is one of my favorite videos you guys have ever posted, you’re very right about how we don’t really photograph or capture the places we live in as much as we do with places we visit.
    I love how you went back to a life you once had to see what was left after you had left. I love all the photographs that Dana took and how she tried to capture not only the places but also the moments and memories she recalled from her memory of your time spent there. I love how Lou is our eyes to the world you roam but also shows us how he sees Dana through his eyes.
    It broke my heart to see Dana’s face as she found out half of the photos were missing and couldn’t be retrieved. I find there is something very beautiful about how she blames herself by accepting her own shortcomings as a photographer (even though I believe she’s an incredible photographer and each shot is so beautiful) and the way Lou mentions other more likely reasons why the film could have been affected or developed well.
    I felt hope for a new and better day when she decided to not give up and still try to capture with art what she hadn’t been able to get from the camera. I love Dana’s fighting spirit and will to never give up in face of hard times and how she makes the best lemonades out of the lemons life gives you guys.
    Dana is a beautiful human being with an even more beautiful and graceful soul inside her and you Lou are the best husband and partner anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for not only sharing and documenting your adventures through life, but also for inspiring so many of us to go out there and not be afraid to face and challenge life and learn from it.

      Wow Aaron, we are absolutely floored by your kind words!! Thanks so much for taking the time to write all that, we read every comment but its truly special to find times when people take the time to slow down and really engage with the story behind the video, Dana isn't home right now but I will be sure to show her this comment, she really was a little upset about the film and its so true what you say about her blaming herself when really it turns out I caused the problem by having her switch the lens to automatic at the beginning of the video which is a setting we've never used and might well have been the issue! Anyways, happy Friday, hope you have a wonderful weekend Aaron! ---Lou

    I'm in turkey this week for a holiday...nd guess what?? I just finished my first roll of film ever, and it's all because of your videos. I never thought of shooting film in my country cause it's so hard here...but just like a fairy tail, after weeks of searching i found a canon ae-1 nd then i bought the only film in my city and here i am today shooting film for the first time in my life in Istanbul... It's all because of you guys so A HUGE THANKS TO YOU ! ❤❤

    • @WildWeRoam
      @WildWeRoam  7 років тому +6

      Wow, what an incredible story! Please comment and share the photos once you've got them developed, it would be amazing to see, of just send us an email ; ) We would love to come to Istanbul in the van sometime, and shoot a TON of videos there! ---Lou

    The first paragraph of your blog has inspired me to photograph my daily life. It’s so true - we don’t capture our daily routine. Who knows, this could be what I think of in the future as “the good old days.”

    OMG! you guys. I really connect to this one. the whole reason I purchased my film camera was to not just go out and take a bunch of pictures on places I've visited but to document the places I've lived. My family home means so much to me that I had to get tangible prints and film. that's why I love film. that's why I loved this video.

    • @WildWeRoam
      @WildWeRoam  7 років тому

      So glad you liked the concept Avery! We spent a ton of time brainstorming the actual story for this video because it really is so important to take the time to document your home and neighborhood! ---Lou

  • @Nerdzombiedisco
    @Nerdzombiedisco 7 років тому +7

    Dana, you’re no longer a novice photographer, BTW. Light, subject and composition were nailed. This is why we shoot. To capture a moment. To remember. To share. To create. Even though not all the shots may develop...you were there. We were there. Thank you both for this video. Good thing Lou’s video was a backup. But then again you guys are good at backing each other up. Safe travels.

    • @WildWeRoam
      @WildWeRoam  7 років тому +2

      Thanks so much for the kind words, Dana read this comment as well and was beaming, so nice to hear people commenting positively about how her photography has progressed even though shes only shot a handful of rolls! ---Lou

      @alexandercaruso9028 7 років тому +8

      Actually, a lot of the time good photographers know what they will get. You make the decision to meter, set the correct exposure, look for composition and interesting subjects, then shoot and if you're any good, you can expect that your photographs will be accurate.

    I felt so sad when Dana changed from happy to sad for losing photos :( Losing photos is such a bummer feeling cuz I lost images too when I shot a roll of 35mm.

    • @WildWeRoam
      @WildWeRoam  7 років тому +4

      yeah that was a real bummer, but luckily she bounced back and came up with the great idea of doing watercolors which I like even more than the photos we got that day! ---Lou

    Loved the video. I document everything, everywhere no matter what and over the last few years, I’ve taken about 26,000 photos average every year for the past 3 years. And then even more when I go on trips or whatever. I find it so fun to just look through my archives sometimes and look back on random memories.

    @itsameliewithane 7 років тому +1

    The same happened to me when developing a wonderful roll of a family party. Nothing left- it was devastating and yet I've learned to appreciate film for these bumps.
    Let me just say that I adore your work, it is by far the most beautiful and authentic place on UA-cam to spend a rainy day. And after re-re-re and rewatching these beautiful videos I load my own canon A1 and am happy to go out into the streets of my home again and again. Thank you xx Greetings from the South of Germany.

    I was so happy to see you posted another one of these! It never fails to inspire me to get my A1 back out. :)
    I also love how both of your personalities shine in these videos - Dana is so comfortable in front of the camera, and you can't help but adore her and the constant positive energy she gives off. And even though Lou is behind the camera, there's so much expression in his camera work -- when he eagerly zooms in when Dana says something that he's excited about, or in the moments her really gets in close and focuses on her little details that show the beauty he sees in her.
    You guys are an inspiration - your work, your energy and your love for each other. Thanks for sharing your life with us!

    I just love this art form and craft 😍
    Whenever I think to combine words with a single photo to tell a short and sweet story, I get this warm fuzzy feeling in my heart.
    It took me years to finally get out there and share my point of view with the public.
    And so far I still can't comprehend the positive feedback I got and still get.
    It's hard no to loose ground beneath your feet as a result of it. I still have my little doubts and fears but they help me to stay grounded and appreciate even the littlest things in life.
    I haven't watched this video to the end but I really dig the pacing and form of story telling audio-visually.
    I'll definitely stick around 😃

  • @Driftstar217
    @Driftstar217 7 років тому +51

    you guys shooting at night on the bridge used aperture priority mode, iso about 400 so maybe the camera decided to use a long shutter speed and that's why it broke the picture. Because when you pressed the shutter, the sound you heard maybe only the mirror flips up and you thought it was the shutter's sound, then you move the camera because you think it has done taking the picture, while it wasn't and that caused an all blur, underexposed picture afterward.

    • @vicious-w7m
      @vicious-w7m 7 років тому +3

      Le Mark thanks man. This is actually really good stuff to know. I haven't done much film photography stuff since I was a kid but I'm getting back into it. I really appreciate when people who know more than me share their knowledge. Anyways, good wishes.

    • @Driftstar217
      @Driftstar217 7 років тому +3

      no problem man. I made this mistake when I first used a DSLR too, thanks god it's digital so I didn't learn it the hard way. Anw, after watched the video again, at 0:23 Dana turned the aperture ring to auto, this mean she's in shutter priority or full auto, either way, the camera can't compensated the lack of exposure of the 400 iso film, so it still led to an underexposed picture

      Thanks for the input! I have to theories, one is that our battery was running low and recently just died so maybe that caused the shutter to not work properly. The second, which I need to do more research on still, is that the automatic setting on the lens shouldn't be used for aperture priority mode, which is what the old man at the photography store told us. Unfortunately there are a lot of guides online saying the opposite, but literally the only time the camera hasn't worked was on the auto lens setting so that does make sense to me, but I need to figure it out 100 percent to be certain! ---Lou

    • @johntazbaz1121
      @johntazbaz1121 6 років тому

      Lou, the Canon A-1 manual says to put the lens on A when using Aperture Priority. So I like your theory about the battery. Also, maybe it's just a result of underexposure. The video footage on the bridge looked quite dark and I'm assuming that your ISO setting on the video camera was higher than the ASA of the film in the A-1. I started shooting film during the early 1980s and I really enjoy watching you two going through the film learning process (but bummer about the bridge).

    The loss of the film was unexpectedly poetic. There you were trying to relive old memories to capture them, but more than the memories wanted to be documented they wanted to be remembered. Perhaps that is the form all history is the most beautiful. Free to provide an impression rather than be the subject of pixel peeping. To live in a moment is to occupy all of it's space, and that space is much bigger than 35mm. Photos are simply a quiet window to the past.

A tripod can help if you need to adjust your shutter speed below 60. Love you watercolor painting Dana☺

    @akliletekle 7 років тому +2

    I went to Cambodia and visited the Angkor Wat temples and the beautiful beaches, only to discover that when I got back home all the film was overexposed.
    It was the worst feeling and I felt as though I had lost my entire trip.
    6 months later and I now live in Cambodia. I can't wait to go back to the temples and create new photos.
    Sometimes we get things back we thought we lost, but it always comes back better.

  • @rhondanodom
    @rhondanodom 5 років тому +1

    I've worked in photography most of my life...from behind the camera to camera sales...and lab to dark room. If you take the negatives back into the lab and ask them to try and print those images...you might be surprised by what you get. They are very underexposed from lack of light...but there will still be an image. Hopefully they print them there in house and they do not send them off...that way they can adjust them the way you like...light and grainy to see the people or darker to show the lights. Give it a try...would love to see what you've captured!! Also, I really enjoy your videos...a lot! Take care.

  • @camillevoyage9727
    @camillevoyage9727 7 років тому +3

    I only shot film once while I was in Bristol but I was using my grandpas old Pentax and there's a light meter inside with a little light that's green if the light is correct, so thankfully I didn't get any overexposed photos. What a great idea to replace the gaps with paintings! You both are so creative and inspiring...

    • @WildWeRoam

    Same thing happened to one of my rolls of portra 400 :(
    I lost all photos from the roll, all the photos of my friends and family on the day of my birthday.
    I understand the sadness and frustration that Dana was feeling while she was going through her prints and not seeing the last half of her shots.

    • @WildWeRoam
      @WildWeRoam  7 років тому

      Yeah I guess that's just part of shooting film, or at least learning how, theres this very real risk it might not work, but then again hard drives crash all the time as well so theres no perfect answer out there, you just got to keep you chin up and not worry too much about little setbacks because longterm its no big deal! ---Lou

  • @Halfpint71
    @Halfpint71 7 років тому +7

    That's a real downer. Especially as you decided to shoot film to document your old neighborhood. It won't have been the security scanner that ruined it though. Ive carried expired film through scanners for dozens of flights and it's not done anything. The x-rays for hand luggage aren't strong enough to ruin film (at least under 1600 ISO).
    Awesome video again guys. You obviously had a great time revisiting New York!

    • @WildWeRoam

  • @TheZoo90100
    @TheZoo90100 7 років тому +38

    It’s the X-tray machines!!!
    I went to Nyc last year and I had two 35mm rolls that I shot. When I came back home one roll was fine, but the other had about 8 shots that were damaged from the x-ray machines that I had to go through at the airports and at a museum. They sell special travel bags online for transporting film while traveling. I haven’t bought one, but it would be a great investment.

    • @LigusterDK
      @LigusterDK 7 років тому +1

      Def not xray damage, X-rays will most likely not damage your film. I've carried 10 rolls of 100-400 ISO film through two scanners and none showed anything. I also carried a roll of ISO 800 through 3 scanners plus a huge scanner that was also used for checked bagage. That roll was fine as well. NEVER try to hide things from the xray. Just ask the security personel (if they say no immediately, then ask if they are sure), if the film has to go through, don't sweat it.

    • @DutchUnbox
      @DutchUnbox 7 років тому +2

      If it even was because of X-ray, the whole roll would be toast. Also, the lost shots are not overexposed, because that would cause black negs, not those clear negs as seen in the video.

    • @nolanrogers4129

    • @anthonyretournard273
      @anthonyretournard273 7 років тому +1

      Awesome that you figured it out. Even without the pictures it was a very enjoyable video anyway. As a rule of thumb, if you shoot in Aperture priority, the camera is never going to pick the aperture for you!

  • @russellsteele
    @russellsteele 7 років тому +1

    These days on UA-cam, watching something all the way through is rare; even a 5 minute video. I had no problems at all watching this nor your previous stories. Your videos just check all the boxes: good story, great visuals, I really like the incorporation of sounds (in all your content) & maybe most important of all the above I really just like you both Dana & Lou. You just seem so nice & there's a calm, nice vibe to these videos. I look forward to the next story.

    @klauscarr7086 5 років тому

    I'm an old dude and I have used film cameras for years and years and I STILL make mistakes and lose prints. Spent an entire day films with a Olympus Pen EE ( half frame camera) and lost the entire roll because the film did not catch on the sprocket gears correctly and never advance the film after each shot. You get twice as many photos on a half frame camera than the roll says. IE : 36 exposures per roll and you actually can take 72 photos. Long story short... I took 72 photos ( I thought) and got ZERO prints for my efforts. Now THAT was a real bummer. Live and learn. Don't give up and enjoy film cameras as much as possible because you never know when they will become a complete oddity that you only see in museums. Love your video by the way and both of your personalities!! Great souls both of you!

    Great to see the Canon A1 again. I hope it wasn't the camera that caused the last part of the film not to show up. I had that with one of my camera's before of which I had just renewed the light-seals. Such a bummer if what you feel are the most amazing pics you took don't show up.

I develop and scn negatives myself. I think you should give it a go. All you need is a Jobo CPP2 Processor and chemicals. NO DARK ROOM NEEDED. that's only for printing. Stated following your channel. You have such a nice voice and a great storyteller. And hubby does some great videography and editing. Great team.
