Great piece, so very true as always. Can’t remember how many times I’ve changed my photography style and failed, but now the most important thing is that I like my photos and I’m not trying too hard to get that money shot that I think everyone will like, and get photos that I like. And Tin Machine - YES!!! Been on a bit of a Bowie bender lately Keep up the great work, your videos are excellent 👍🏽👍🏽
Hi Craig, happy 10th on youtube 🎉🥳. i do like those Black and White pictures especially that Tree. I like the variety on your channel there is something their for all types of photographers that benefit from your advice and tips. Good luck to all your viewers who want to start a youtube channel. And yet again another great Album, thanks Craig. 😊
Love your vinyl collections, especially those from the early 80's. Unlike today, there were tons of choices at that time, new styles and genre every year, always experimental and unexpected. As a photographer should hold this attitude which echos to this episode.
"Your first 10000 images are the worst". That was said in the film era. In digital it would be 10X more. Now some people take 5-6 thousand images a day. 30-60 even 120 p/s. Some guy has over 500K subs and in the beginning, he took really good images (I still remember a few) and after a few years, he just took mediocre images because he had to, because of the sponsors. If somebody commented on his so-so images, the person was deleted. All of the Big Shots going the same places, take the same images and say the same things. Some of the really good ones even quit YT and Instagram, getting bored doing the same, over and over again. I'm not jealous of their success because success is subjective too. I'm not on any SM, I take images myself (mostly street) but accidentally one of my favourite and best photographers (Magnum) saw some of my images and said "not bad at all). I don't need more success, like that. That was worth more to me than 10 million subs or likes. Sorry Graig for my long BS!
What is successful? I enjoyed this and it got me thinking from a different point of view. As I close in on 10k subscribers after 5 years, is this successful? I guess that’s up to the individual like you say, does the number make you successful. I think I’ll may make a video and mention you, and Tom for points of view. I’ve been enjoying your channel for years. Thank you 👍
more people in woolly hats, miserable weather, dead plants and puddles, I guess it is a photographer's fetish. mud, rain, death. 😆 ( don't worry i love your talks)
EH,,, you might not have seen the failures of others, it's not something that they'd push. From what you say it's perseverance not failure. Or possibly even more is the ability to analyze and learn.
Thomas who? 🙂 I religiously watch your vids and back catalogue. Some people you gel better with on youtube. Your experience shows when it comes to the other tubers... You sure Baz said all that.. he is Australian after all.. lol
Step one: pay Google / UA-cam Step two: pay for views, subscribers, commments Step three: be charismatic Step four: clickbait the f out of basic things That’s my take, social proof is proof in 2024 Oh and I dislike the jump crops it’s all a bit distracting Nice images to start the video fyi 👍🏻
Isn't it rather presumptuous/dismissive/ignorant to assume/assert that successful people have never failed? And to make this rather bold claim following a title card stating that "success needs failure"?
The key to failure is constantly changing gear!
Success in photography is to listen to Craig
And there speaks a wise man.

Keep up the great work, your videos are excellent 👍🏽👍🏽
Love your work, Craig! I bought my first camera after watching one of your videos. Keep up the great content.
The key to success in photography are good and water tight shoes!
Equating social media success with success is a sure path to a rude awakening.
Great video as always. And great LP selection today. I forgot all about Tin Machine, going to have to give that one a listen to again.
The successs to photography is listening to House music while walking 😅
Thanks Craig, great message, thank you.

Insightful, and good advice. Thank you. Most of us mortals CANNOT succeed if we don;t fail first... that's how we learn and grow, innit?

Great content Craig, I love your style of photography
You havn't failed until you succeed 😉

Not really applicable to me but nevertheless, thoroughly interesting video
I think it would be a n interesting video if you and Thomas Heston did a shoot together. It is also an excellent way to increase subscribers.
I don’t think he needs more subscribers!
Thomas who? 🙂 I religiously watch your vids and back catalogue. Some people you gel better with on youtube. Your experience shows when it comes to the other tubers... You sure Baz said all that.. he is Australian after all.. lol
Step one: pay Google / UA-cam
Step two: pay for views, subscribers, commments
Step three: be charismatic
Step four: clickbait the f out of basic things
That’s my take, social proof is proof in 2024
Oh and I dislike the jump crops it’s all a bit distracting
Nice images to start the video fyi 👍🏻
Yeah, survivorship bias.
