i still miss that fantastic podcast with you, Paul and Gary - You're all brilliant photraphers - Good luck for the future and Thank you for you continued enjoyment all 3 of you.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my mum suddenly in 1994 and I wish she could have met the two fine young men we are raising. You’re an inspiration and I love watching your videos no matter the frequency. All the best to you.
Good to have you back Paul. Life often shows no mercy. Sometimes you just have to be human. We love you just the way you are, with or without algorithm and we’ll enjoy your content as and when you can fit it in. 👍
Sorry to hear about your mom Paul, I lost mine 16 years ago and it's something we can not escape ! You were making me itch swatting those mosquitoes as we call them over here in the Colonies. I'm glad to see your back, I always enjoyed your videos ! Take care !
Sorry to hear of your loss. Paul. My condolences to you. It is tough. My mom passed about ten years ago. And I lost my wife of 51 years about 3 years ago. I miss them both. I didn't know what had happened to you, thanks for sharing. I love your videos. Keep them up. You seem like a regular, caring, down-to-earth kind of guy. Maybe a little quirky, but aren't we all. I enjoy your rambles and the ease in which you do them.
Thank you Edward. Sorry to hear of the loss of your wife. Cannot imagine how that feels. Quirky is one word for my behaviour however my family have other words for it :)
Sorry to hear about your mum Paul. That is heartbreaking. Always a highlight to see you have posted a video, what ever the frequency you put them out. Take care and all the best.
Really sorry for your loss Paul....lost my wee mum to dementia too, horrible disease. Can i just say that your wee mum and dad must have been awesome people....we can all see what a genuine guy you clearly are.....lets all pass on the love to our own kids. Crackin pics as always. Peace x
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my own mother to dementia a year ago and while I do think it was better for her to find peace it is still pretty raw. I fully understand why you let life take priority over youtube. It's the right thing to do. It's a crowded field of photographers that's grown like crazy during the pandemic. It's probably better to figure out what works for you before jumping into the stress of constantly having to get content out there. I really loved your pictures today - the beach and the waterfall are really great.
Paul, sorry to hear about your Mum, a sad loss for any son. On a more positive note it is good to see your video, and the glimpse of the walnut whip hat which always brings a smile to my face. Stick with it and just put out a video when it suits you. It is your life and you should do what you want, free of algorithms etc. Those of us who have followed you from day one are supportive of your channel and just appreciate you taking the time to produce your videos, however often that is.
Sorry to hear about Mum Paul, your right that at any age its never easy. One of the main reasons why I enjoy watching your vlogs is the complete honesty of you and your photography. It drew me to your channel all those years ago and has kept me subscribed ever since. I, like you, do vlogging for the same reasons to document my Photography journey. Its the best way to enjoy the hobby and means the world when others enjoy it as well. Thanks for sharing Mate and take care, 👍📸
I enjoy your style of videos, Paul. The quiet meditation I get from landscape photography soothes my soul. My condolences too you and your family on the loss of your mum. As always, thanks for sharing.
So very sorry to hear the news about your Mum, Paul. My condolences. May the happy memories help you to come to terms with your loss and embrace the love of your family! Take care!
Condolences to you and all your family Paul, never easy at any age. Followed you for several years now, yourself, the nerds and a few others have been a great inspiration to me. Wonderful to hear that you will be putting out more content. Thanks Paul👍
So sorry for your loss Paul, it hurts no matter what age you are but life goes go on mate, and you will learn to cope with life at some point. 7 years ago i lost my mother and i still make her a cuppa every now and then. It's good to see you out, and that b/w shot shows you have still photos as good as any other photographer out there. Peace.
You have my sincere condolences and empathy Paul. My mum also passed away three weeks ago after a challenging period of illness. It has been some months since I was able to pick up my camera. Photography aside, I have a feeling that you too have had a really tough time of it, so try to be kind to yourself and I hope that you are soon able to find a way to give yourself the time to heal. Keep up the good fight! (and nice shot at the end btw!)
So sorry for your loss Paul, and I send my love and best wishes to your and your family. With regards to UA-cam algorythms and all that millarky. When it comes to your content I for one don't give too hoots. I have followed you and your journey for several years now, and I do it because you give an honest opinion about the life that is a landscape photographer, without the bells and whistles, and as an aside, you capture some really beautiful images. Keep doing what you do, and your followers will keep loving you for it my friend.
Good to see you back and posting content again Paul. Sorry for your loss. Hope friends and family around you are a strong support right now. Enjoyed the content from your various outings. Don't sell yourself short, you had some nice images in this one!
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. I have watched your channel for ages and appreciate your thoughtfulness and the quality of your photography. Be strong and know that we are thinking of you and supporting you.
Hi Paul, sorry to hear about your mum, it must be a very hard thing to go through. I am glad you are back posting, you are one of a few youtubers and inspired me to get a camera in 2017. I hope you find the time to continue UA-cam.
Nice to see you back Paul, this ones not about the content it’s about you. I’ve been through the same grieving process so know how your feeling. God bless to you and your family there will be good times ahead and great memories to look back on. 👍
Deepest condolences Paul, so hard to lose a parent. Someone once said to me “you’ll never miss your mum until she’s gone” never truer words spoken. Be good to see you back when your ready and we don’t need algorithms.
Sorry for your loss Paul. Keep strong. I think you have the right approach to UA-cam, as much as I enjoy watching people’s video it should never become a drag for the creators. I’ll always watch however often you put something out… I will defeat the algorithm and find you! 😁
Paul, I've always enjoyed the 'everyday-ness' of your videos/work. No pretense, just another guy going out with his camera. Yet your images are always top-notch And, of course, the hats!. It's good to know you'll be back on a fairly regular basis. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult that process is. But you're young with much to look forward to.
That brought me up a bit sharpish !! I thought I was the only one going thru that trauma . YOU are the one who got me going in photography 4 years ago when I came back to the UK to nurse my folks, and I feel your pain. Delighted to see you back doing it how you want, not what UA-cam wants. I can't get out with my camera now due to care commitments, so I will enjoy your excursions instead. All the very best to you Paul and thank you for coming back 🙏
@@PaulGJohnsonphotography my dad passed away 3 months back and my 92 yr old mum is lost - as you well know, 24/7 care is very hard going especially being 8K miles from home. BUT now your back, between you and Gary Gough I have enough to sustain me until I can get back out again 👍
Condolences Paul, I have watched your videos for awhile and I know there was the break with your Dad's passing, I lost my dad 5 years ago Christmas eve and understand the emotions that behold that bond. The thing I have always liked and admired about your videos is you are humble and don't pretend to be on a pedestal of other photographers who feel the need to push the videos albeit not necessarily good content just for the algorithm of UA-cam. I enjoy watching your vids and just keep doing what your doing and stay humble to yourself, do the videos you enjoy not the videos you have too, best wishes
Paul, I'm writing this through my tears such a moving video. I lost my mum when I was 68 that was two years ago, life is never the same but it does go on. Forget the algorithm do what makes you happy. Genuinely you are my favourite Photographer on you tube, if and when you put content out you will always be guaranteed one view that'll be me.
My condolences Paul. You were one of the first vloggers I watched with a video from Ullswater. I think I've caught them all and will obviously continue. Keep 'em coming. Love your presentation and work.
My condolences Paul. I lost my mother at the end of July so I know how you must feel. But I am so happy to see you back with your "mediocre" images. "Mediocre", yeah, right... I really like your B+W processing of the images; very contrasty and gritty. Please keep the videos coming.
Hi Paul, hope you and your family enjoyed your time in Cornwall and it helped a little in you all coming to terms with your sad loss. With regards to your channel don't worry about UA-cam logarithms, just enjoy your trips out and recording them for others to enjoy as well. I for one will be watching your vlogs when ever you put one out. Stay safe.
Hi Paul, really nice video that hit home with me, my father recently passed away and it hits you like a ton of bricks, I am also in my 50s Englishman living in Australia, couldnt travel back, with borders being closed. Life can really get you down sometimes, family friends and landscape photography keep me going, as well as a good beer. keep your chin up and keep creating your videos, I really enjoy the English banter, the thinking and working out of the final shot, also the honesty. Cheers Paul Goodey.
Sorry to hear about your mum Paul and condolences to your family, always enjoy your content and presentation and your one of those guys that when you start talking you stop what your doing and listen, loved the images especially the b&w.
I too have recently lost my dad Paul, we are never ready for goodbyes. Sending you and the family much love. Looking forward to seeing your future vids. Xx
Thank you for that honest “monologue” straight from the heart. I can empathise with just about everything you said from the loss of parents during lockdown to trying to find compositions at Yateholme with one exception, sadly, for me, being 50 is so long ago that I can’t remember it. Condolences and best wishes.
Very sorry to hear of your loss Paul, I lost my dad around the same time as your dad and my mum has alzhiemers so I know what you've been going through! That's why it's great to see more of you on here which takes you away from the now, the beach was amazing by the way.
Your natural and honest approach is so refreshing Paul. I am very sorry for your loss. ( For what it’s worth, the two black and white images were superb imho)
I'm so sorry for your loss, Paul. Its good to see you back. Don't chase the algorithm, you are a genuine and straight talking artist that will always be in demand on here. Just keep enjoying what you are doing and we are all here to get you into the top 900 when you are ready.
Deepest deepest condolences Paul to you and your family. Very touching. Very moving. Very inspiring for your courage and general down to earthness (for want of a better term). Salt of the earth as we say up north. Love your videos and your images. Peace x
Deepest Sympathy at the loss of your Mom. Totally forget the algorithm. Put stuff out when you feel like it. You'll always be part of my subscriptions list.
Sorry for your loss Paul condolences to you and your family at these tough times. Missed you matey please keep going, love your great videos. Stay strong bud
Hey Paul, no worries about the naysayers. When the first lockdowns happened, I was stuck working from home (still am but I arranged with it). So people like you, or Adam or Thomas Heaton are always on my top list because you bring me along for the trip - let me see some distant place and escape from "mundane reality". I appreciate your talks and your down to earth style and chitchats. If I want Hype and everything cranked to 11 I go to mcKinnons channel or something like that - but you will always be one of the photographers that inspire me and that I want to have the opportunity to meet someday to just hang out and have a good day outside. Quite honestly I don't care if you upload once every 6 month, every day or once every 2 weeks. You do you and I am happy that you allow us to be part of that. My condolences to you - take care of yourself and your loved ones.
It's truly the hardest thing losing somebody that you loved. Time dose help. Your vids are just as good and I don't see why you should stress about getting content out. I get a notification when you post one so no worries
Sorry for your loss Paul, its very hard to deal with but things and thoughts do get easier to cope with as we go along, I would not worry too much about algorithms and I would not let any negativity on here worry you, some people sad people thrive on upsetting folk, your images are fantastic and you have a strong following of people that seem to genuinely enjoy your blogs, me included. I wish you well and encourage you do what ever you want as we are with you on your ongoing journey.
Awesome to see you Paul, sorry for your loss. My favourite you tuber as you are down to earth and easy to watch. Not so sure if i would worry about algorythims, just be yourself mate and people will follow. Cheers.
Takes guts to open up to the world, respect also for continuing to show us some great content, I did Crosby beach on a rush visit back home from holiday a couple of years back and I wish image was as good as yours. Keep going your mum will be proud of you. 🙂👍
Judging from the comments Judy I have some awesome UA-cam friends and to be brutally honest that's the only reason I put content out. People like yourself and others that take the time to comment on my humble vids is inspirational for me .Thank you
you have my respect, for your honesty. i enjoy your work, but you do seem to rush. chill out and enjoy it. thanks as allways for sharing. my condolences for your loss.
So sorry for your loss but your right, the world will not stop and let you off so we muddle on the best we can. I lost my mother in 1987 and my father in 1997 and I can tell you the sorrow will pass and you will see the silver lining again, hang in there! The two photos you posted in this video were both fantastic, enjoy your videos and your work!
So sorry for your losses - its no fun being an 'orphan' at any age. Hoping that positive memories replace the sad ones soon and that peace and tranquility wash over you to heal the pain. So good to have you back - you are a great motivator and take inspirational photos - you were sorely missed in your absence.
Thanks for this video Paul, the photos featured were great. Also thanks for sharing your family situation, I know from my own experience over the past 12 - 18 months where I lost both my parents (not COVID related thankfully) how difficult that can be. First my Mum passed suddenly followed by my Dad 5 months later. Lockdown meant funeral arrangements were very limited which made the act of saying goodbye even more difficult. You are right that life goes on but it is important to hang on to the treasured memories of happier times which is what has seen me through. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for you
Sincere condolences to you and your family sorry to hear about your loss cant imagine what your going through. love the images again and my soft spot the waterfall shoots were amazing, looking forward to more amazing images.
Hey Paul... I Never dropped you from my subscription list, glad to have you back. My condolences for the loss of your mother...I think you will be pleasantly surprised on just how many people are or will be glad to see you back at it again... Great pics btw, typically you find a way to get something out of a shoot even when it's miserable outside, lol! All the best, Bill on the Hill, Vermont, USA... :~)
Hi Paul, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you can find the calm you need to handle this hard time. (Also I'm hopefully looking forward to see you again after some time because I really like your videos and photos.)
Thank you for this video. Loved it! Very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed the video and was missing seeing you on UA-cam. I always look forward to watching. Thank you and stay safe.
Some fantastic shots there buddy. Sorry to hear your news you have our deepest sympathy from us all here at UK Adventure 4x4. Looking forward to having you back out with us again soon.
My condolences to you and your family. Whilst it may not do anything for your algorithm it does a great deal for my viewing pleasure. It was great to hear you say there may be a couple of vlogs per month. My health has taken a massive nose dive over the last 18 months but it is still good to look back on images I shot when I was fitter and you are right in saying your vlog form memories to look back on. East Gill force was the very first long exposure shots I took as I started to explore ND filters, whilst not the most exciting shot I have ever taken it has a special place in my memory. I'm hoping that if my health improves a little I can get out and shoot some roadside landscapes in the future.
John , following you on fb I realise your health hasn't been so good. You are a good guy and your positive comment endorses that. If things improve I;d be happy pick you up in Lionel and shoot some road side shits with you.
@@PaulGJohnsonphotography Hopefully the physio I'm doing will have a positive impact and I'd love to meet up, we can have a Nikon love in! I'm actually better off driving than as a passenger as the big issue is my right hip so I can sit into my 4x4 and then lift the leg in but thank you for such a kind offer. It is several years since I did Swaledale but will be testing the mobility locally in Bowland first.
So Sorry to hear about your mum, stay strong and just put up what you can and just enjoy life. I have loved your content from day 1 and still do but i know how life gets in the way.
So sorry for your loss Paul. I lost my dad 49 weeks ago (I’m 35) and I am only just starting to even begin to start to process it… take care, and I’m staying for your videos however often they appear from you.
Hi Paul. I'm so sorry for your loss. My mum passed when I was 17. I still have my dad, but he's got alzheimer's, so I'm losing more of him every day. It's truly heartbreaking. Don't worry about the algorithm. Just do what you need to for your life, whether spending time with family or doing photography. If you put up a video, we'll be here to watch and share the journey with you. All the best. :) Paula
Awesome to see you again mate and lovely to have a catch-up. I’m sorry to hear of your loss, your Mum clearly meant a lot to you. You have the right approach Paul, don’t worry about the algorithm, just do your thing. By the looks of things you have fantastic support here in the community you’ve created. Looking forward to your next adventure out, cheers 🍻
Really good to see your ok mate, was worried something had happened to you, and sorry to hear the loss of your mom too your creator.. is is hard when you loose a loved one.. hope to see you around mate love to the family
You may not be posting to hear this but I am saying it anyway, you're a number one presenter in my opinion. Always enjoyed your approach and outlook. No need for an algorithm for me to keep following.
Well done for putting this out Paul, it must have been a tough edit (in more ways than one!) You always seem to wear your heart on your sleeve and are one of the nicest & most genuine blokes I've never actually met (in person!) Sod the algorithm, enjoy photography, enjoy life
It was a bugger to edit , You are right Jamie, in more ways than one. Trying to link three videos into one was a mare and then I got all emotional which didn't help. Thanks buddy appreciate the comment
Beautiful intimate waterfall images. Nice to see you back on my tellybox good sir. Life is damn tough and I know it's pulled you through the pasta maker over the last few years. Always good to see you smiling though. Might see you out in the fields at some point.
Great Paul. Emotional and a great video as usual. I'm finally going to start vloging after mentioning it to you all those years ago, now - no more excuses!
My condolences to you and your family! Highly appreciate your content and photography. Been a subscriber for many years now and will stick around despite of longer breaks.
My condolences on the loss of your mum. It certainly does not get easier as you get older, my stepdad lost his mum when he was in his early seventies and he was really shook up. A parent is a parent, no matter what your age. Take care of yourself and your family (and by the way the diet is visibly working , comparing the footage of you now with januari.. as an eternal jojo-er my respect and slight envy ☺️)
Sorry to hear about your loss. My mum went recently too. I hope photography and youtube bring you some happiness. Keep posting. To the future. “ Peace” MJ
I’ve enjoyed your videos for years and I’m glad to see that you have remained you even after the break ! Those flying teeth are a curse mate for sure .. enjoyed the inserts on this one.. sorry for your loss .. see you whenever the next vid is out .. no pressure
Paul I'm so sorry your Mom passed. Always know that you had many people who care about you. I have followed you for about 3 years. It has been a pleasure and an honor! Take care my friend. God Bless.
Hi Paul thanks for sharing your personal stuff Not an easy thing to do glad you’re sticking at it even though we won’t see you as much love your humour look after yourself kind regards Stuart
Paul back when your Chanel was at its peak you were a star! Now you’re beginning again you are still a star! And I’m suspicious you always have been a star regardless of whatever you do. Stars always shine especially in the dark and when you look closely it’s always with different sparks of light. Keep shining top photographer and human being. 🙏
I still think you’re a sensation mate. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
As I do you buddy:) Catch up soon Adam :)

Forget the algorithm do what makes you happy. Genuinely you are my favourite Photographer on you tube, if and when you put content out you will always be guaranteed one view that'll be me.
That's a lovely comment , thank you David.
My condolences Paul. You were one of the first vloggers I watched with a video from Ullswater. I think I've caught them all and will obviously continue. Keep 'em coming. Love your presentation and work.
Thanks John. Much appreciated.
My condolences Paul. I lost my mother at the end of July so I know how you must feel. But I am so happy to see you back with your "mediocre" images. "Mediocre", yeah, right... I really like your B+W processing of the images; very contrasty and gritty. Please keep the videos coming.
Sorry for you loss Frank and thank you.
Hi Paul, hope you and your family enjoyed your time in Cornwall and it helped a little in you all coming to terms with your sad loss. With regards to your channel don't worry about UA-cam logarithms, just enjoy your trips out and recording them for others to enjoy as well. I for one will be watching your vlogs when ever you put one out. Stay safe.
Thanks Tony. Cornwall was lovely, if not a tad wet :)
Hi Paul, really nice video that hit home with me, my father recently passed away and it hits you like a ton of bricks, I am also in my 50s Englishman living in Australia, couldnt travel back, with borders being closed. Life can really get you down sometimes, family friends and landscape photography keep me going, as well as a good beer.
keep your chin up and keep creating your videos, I really enjoy the English banter, the thinking and working out of the final shot, also the honesty.
Cheers Paul Goodey.
Thanks Paul , appreciate it and sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear about your mum Paul and condolences to your family, always enjoy your content and presentation and your one of those guys that when you start talking you stop what your doing and listen, loved the images especially the b&w.
That's a lovely comment Jim. I very much appreciate your continued support.
I too have recently lost my dad Paul, we are never ready for goodbyes. Sending you and the family much love. Looking forward to seeing your future vids. Xx
Thanks buddy and sorry for your loss
Thank you for that honest “monologue” straight from the heart. I can empathise with just about everything you said from the loss of parents during lockdown to trying to find compositions at Yateholme with one exception, sadly, for me, being 50 is so long ago that I can’t remember it. Condolences and best wishes.
Thank you Howard.
Very sorry to hear of your loss Paul, I lost my dad around the same time as your dad and my mum has alzhiemers so I know what you've been going through!
That's why it's great to see more of you on here which takes you away from the now, the beach was amazing by the way.
Sorry to hear of your loss too Andrew. Give your mum a big kiss and a huge hug from me please. Glad you you liked the beach shot x Peace x
Thank you Paul I will 👍
Your natural and honest approach is so refreshing Paul. I am very sorry for your loss. ( For what it’s worth, the two black and white images were superb imho)
Thank you Howard :)
I'm so sorry for your loss, Paul. Its good to see you back. Don't chase the algorithm, you are a genuine and straight talking artist that will always be in demand on here. Just keep enjoying what you are doing and we are all here to get you into the top 900 when you are ready.
Thanks John
Deepest deepest condolences Paul to you and your family. Very touching. Very moving. Very inspiring for your courage and general down to earthness (for want of a better term). Salt of the earth as we say up north. Love your videos and your images. Peace x
Top comment John. Much appreciated fella . Peace x
Deepest Sympathy at the loss of your Mom. Totally forget the algorithm. Put stuff out when you feel like it. You'll always be part of my subscriptions list.
Thanks Ian
Sorry for your loss Paul condolences to you and your family at these tough times. Missed you matey please keep going, love your great videos. Stay strong bud
Thanks buddy
Hey Paul,
no worries about the naysayers. When the first lockdowns happened, I was stuck working from home (still am but I arranged with it). So people like you, or Adam or Thomas Heaton are always on my top list because you bring me along for the trip - let me see some distant place and escape from "mundane reality".
I appreciate your talks and your down to earth style and chitchats. If I want Hype and everything cranked to 11 I go to mcKinnons channel or something like that - but you will always be one of the photographers that inspire me and that I want to have the opportunity to meet someday to just hang out and have a good day outside.
Quite honestly I don't care if you upload once every 6 month, every day or once every 2 weeks. You do you and I am happy that you allow us to be part of that.
My condolences to you - take care of yourself and your loved ones.
That's a lovely comment and very much appreciate you taking the time to write it. Thank you.
So glad you're back mate and my heart goes out to you in relation to your parents x
Thanks Steve
It's truly the hardest thing losing somebody that you loved. Time dose help.
Your vids are just as good and I don't see why you should stress about getting content out. I get a notification when you post one so no worries
Thanks Martin.
Sorry for your loss.
Your UA-cam content is just spot on .
Looking forward to your next video whenever it’s out 👍🤓
Thanks Paul
Sorry for your loss Paul, its very hard to deal with but things and thoughts do get easier to cope with as we go along, I would not worry too much about algorithms and I would not let any negativity on here worry you, some people sad people thrive on upsetting folk, your images are fantastic and you have a strong following of people that seem to genuinely enjoy your blogs, me included. I wish you well and encourage you do what ever you want as we are with you on your ongoing journey.
Thanks Paul . Your comment is both encouraging and most welcome. Negativity affects me like most creators but positive comments like yours help
Sorry for ya loss mate,great to see your on your way back,itll take time but we will still be here in eager anticipation of your next vlog,chin up.
Thanks Chris
Paul I want to encourage you, and thank You for your honesty. Love watching you videos
Thanks Philip
Admire the honesty and lack of hype. I find you very inspiring. Keep on going!
Thanks Ian
Awesome to see you Paul, sorry for your loss. My favourite you tuber as you are down to earth and easy to watch. Not so sure if i would worry about algorythims, just be yourself mate and people will follow. Cheers.
Very kind , thanks Marty
Takes guts to open up to the world, respect also for continuing to show us some great content, I did Crosby beach on a rush visit back home from holiday a couple of years back and I wish image was as good as yours. Keep going your mum will be proud of you. 🙂👍
Thanks Mark
Paul your family always comes first. And true friends & You Tube subscribers will always be there too. Thanks for the videos you put out.
Judging from the comments Judy I have some awesome UA-cam friends and to be brutally honest that's the only reason I put content out. People like yourself and others that take the time to comment on my humble vids is inspirational for me .Thank you
you have my respect, for your honesty. i enjoy your work, but you do seem to rush. chill out and enjoy it. thanks as allways for sharing. my condolences for your loss.
Lol thank you . I rush ? Explain ? . Thanks for the condolences.
So sorry for your loss but your right, the world will not stop and let you off so we muddle on the best we can. I lost my mother in 1987 and my father in 1997 and I can tell you the sorrow will pass and you will see the silver lining again, hang in there! The two photos you posted in this video were both fantastic, enjoy your videos and your work!
Thank you x
A very enjoyable video Paul, it's great to see you again with some cracking photographs. God bless you and your family, take care mate. Tony
Thanks Tony
I wasn't ready for this emotional roller coaster video, tbf. Please accept my sincere condolences to you and yours. May her soul rest in peace.
Thank you Ziad
My condolences to you and your family on your loss. Great work as always.
Thanks buddy x
Paul very sorry for your loss.Time heals and memories remain to cherish.Wonderful to see you back. Kia kaha…stay strong.
Thanks buddy.
So sorry for your losses - its no fun being an 'orphan' at any age. Hoping that positive memories replace the sad ones soon and that peace and tranquility wash over you to heal the pain. So good to have you back - you are a great motivator and take inspirational photos - you were sorely missed in your absence.
Jan, that's a lovely comment. Thank you x
Thanks for this video Paul, the photos featured were great. Also thanks for sharing your family situation, I know from my own experience over the past 12 - 18 months where I lost both my parents (not COVID related thankfully) how difficult that can be. First my Mum passed suddenly followed by my Dad 5 months later. Lockdown meant funeral arrangements were very limited which made the act of saying goodbye even more difficult. You are right that life goes on but it is important to hang on to the treasured memories of happier times which is what has seen me through. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for you
Thanks Stuart and sorry for your losses .
Sincere condolences to you and your family sorry to hear about your loss cant imagine what your going through. love the images again and my soft spot the waterfall shoots were amazing, looking forward to more amazing images.
Thanks Paul
Respect to you. Peace and good luck, best wishes in doing what you have to do. I look forward to anything you produce in the future ..
Thank you Ginger x
Hey Paul... I Never dropped you from my subscription list, glad to have you back. My condolences for the loss of your mother...I think you will be pleasantly surprised on just how many people are or will be glad to see you back at it again... Great pics btw, typically you find a way to get something out of a shoot even when it's miserable outside, lol!
All the best,
Bill on the Hill,
Vermont, USA... :~)
Thank you William :)
Hi Paul, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you can find the calm you need to handle this hard time.
(Also I'm hopefully looking forward to see you again after some time because I really like your videos and photos.)
Thank you x
I felt itchy watching! Midges are a pest. I loved the beach photo- fantastic. Sorry to hear about your mum and the hard time you are going through.
Thanks Dave
Thank you for this video. Loved it! Very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed the video and was missing seeing you on UA-cam. I always look forward to watching. Thank you and stay safe.
Thanks Johnny
Some fantastic shots there buddy. Sorry to hear your news you have our deepest sympathy from us all here at UK Adventure 4x4. Looking forward to having you back out with us again soon.
Cheers buddy and looking forward to it :)
My condolences to you and your family.
Whilst it may not do anything for your algorithm it does a great deal for my viewing pleasure. It was great to hear you say there may be a couple of vlogs per month.
My health has taken a massive nose dive over the last 18 months but it is still good to look back on images I shot when I was fitter and you are right in saying your vlog form memories to look back on. East Gill force was the very first long exposure shots I took as I started to explore ND filters, whilst not the most exciting shot I have ever taken it has a special place in my memory. I'm hoping that if my health improves a little I can get out and shoot some roadside landscapes in the future.
John , following you on fb I realise your health hasn't been so good. You are a good guy and your positive comment endorses that. If things improve I;d be happy pick you up in Lionel and shoot some road side shits with you.
@@PaulGJohnsonphotography Hopefully the physio I'm doing will have a positive impact and I'd love to meet up, we can have a Nikon love in! I'm actually better off driving than as a passenger as the big issue is my right hip so I can sit into my 4x4 and then lift the leg in but thank you for such a kind offer. It is several years since I did Swaledale but will be testing the mobility locally in Bowland first.
So Sorry to hear about your mum, stay strong and just put up what you can and just enjoy life. I have loved your content from day 1 and still do but i know how life gets in the way.
Thanks Jim
stunning shots look forward to seeing more soon, so sorry about your mum x
Thanks Jayne
So sorry for your loss Paul. I lost my dad 49 weeks ago (I’m 35) and I am only just starting to even begin to start to process it… take care, and I’m staying for your videos however often they appear from you.
Thanks Ed. Sorry for your loss. It's never easy at any age but you losing him at your young age is very hard.
Hi Paul. I'm so sorry for your loss. My mum passed when I was 17. I still have my dad, but he's got alzheimer's, so I'm losing more of him every day. It's truly heartbreaking. Don't worry about the algorithm. Just do what you need to for your life, whether spending time with family or doing photography. If you put up a video, we'll be here to watch and share the journey with you. All the best. :) Paula
Thank you Paula.
Awesome to see you again mate and lovely to have a catch-up. I’m sorry to hear of your loss, your Mum clearly meant a lot to you. You have the right approach Paul, don’t worry about the algorithm, just do your thing. By the looks of things you have fantastic support here in the community you’ve created. Looking forward to your next adventure out, cheers 🍻
Thanks Andrew. Hope you are well buddy, Adam and I were just chatting about you the other week.
Really good to see your ok mate, was worried something had happened to you, and sorry to hear the loss of your mom too your creator.. is is hard when you loose a loved one.. hope to see you around mate love to the family
Thanks Darren . I'm an old goat and will keep plodding on. Lovely comment . thanks
Glad you’re back buddy. Top poster. Sending support.
Thanks Jonathan
Thank you Paul. You’re a top bloke. 👏👏👏
Thanks Garry
only just seen this video mate. I'm so sorry for your loss mate. Deepest condolences to you and your family. x
Cheers Andy x
You may not be posting to hear this but I am saying it anyway, you're a number one presenter in my opinion. Always enjoyed your approach and outlook. No need for an algorithm for me to keep following.
Phill . Lovely comment and very much appreciated. It's people like you that inspire me to keep uploading. Thanks
Well done for putting this out Paul, it must have been a tough edit (in more ways than one!) You always seem to wear your heart on your sleeve and are one of the nicest & most genuine blokes I've never actually met (in person!) Sod the algorithm, enjoy photography, enjoy life
It was a bugger to edit , You are right Jamie, in more ways than one. Trying to link three videos into one was a mare and then I got all emotional which didn't help. Thanks buddy appreciate the comment
Beautiful intimate waterfall images. Nice to see you back on my tellybox good sir. Life is damn tough and I know it's pulled you through the pasta maker over the last few years. Always good to see you smiling though. Might see you out in the fields at some point.
Cheers buddy. Hope you are well.
Nice, down to earth no fluff vlog with a real personal touch. Good to see you back in front of the lens.
Thanks Chris. Sorry I missed your comment.
Great Paul. Emotional and a great video as usual. I'm finally going to start vloging after mentioning it to you all those years ago, now - no more excuses!
Thanks buddy and enjoy :)
My condolences to you and your family! Highly appreciate your content and photography. Been a subscriber for many years now and will stick around despite of longer breaks.
Thanks buddy . Don'r know your name but much appreciated Lunis x
@@PaulGJohnsonphotography My name is Harry! Cheers mate!
@@lunisproductions hi Harry 😃👍
Sorry to hear your sad news.. Great to watch you again . 🙏
Thanks Winston
I don't know what to say Paul feeling it for you glad you are back
Thanks Nigel
My condolences on the loss of your mum. It certainly does not get easier as you get older, my stepdad lost his mum when he was in his early seventies and he was really shook up. A parent is a parent, no matter what your age. Take care of yourself and your family (and by the way the diet is visibly working , comparing the footage of you now with januari.. as an eternal jojo-er my respect and slight envy ☺️)
Thank you Natasja
Sorry to hear about your loss. My mum went recently too. I hope photography and youtube bring you some happiness. Keep posting. To the future. “ Peace” MJ
Thanks Mark . Sorry to hear about your mum.
I’ve enjoyed your videos for years and I’m glad to see that you have remained you even after the break ! Those flying teeth are a curse mate for sure .. enjoyed the inserts on this one.. sorry for your loss .. see you whenever the next vid is out .. no pressure
Thanks Darren :)
Paul I'm so sorry your Mom passed. Always know that you had many people who care about you. I have followed you for about 3 years. It has been a pleasure and an honor! Take care my friend. God Bless.
Thanks Dennis
Post whatever you want, when you want. I love watching you being you.
Thanks Tony
Really enjoyed watching that photography 'mashup' Paul 👍 Looking forward to seeing more from you in the coming months. Sorry for your loss.
Thanks Chris :)
Hi Paul thanks for sharing your personal stuff Not an easy thing to do glad you’re sticking at it even though we won’t see you as much love your humour look after yourself kind regards Stuart
Thanks Stuart
Paul back when your Chanel was at its peak you were a star! Now you’re beginning again you are still a star! And I’m suspicious you always have been a star regardless of whatever you do. Stars always shine especially in the dark and when you look closely it’s always with different sparks of light. Keep shining top photographer and human being. 🙏
Thanks Mark :)
