Thanks for your beautiful and honest video. I'm asking me every day: "What the f... I'm doing here ? Why I'm doing this ?" when heading to the office and back and doing all the family work. Not getting out into nature for days and even weeks. Not making any relevant images for weeks. So the "normal" life isn't without doubts either. For me it would be a dream, being alone in the beautiful nature just to make photographs, just once in my life, just for a few days. But surely not as a full-time job.
Hey, Adrian. Just bought your newest book. Hope it helps pay for a new lens. You are a huge inspiration to me and, believe it or not, it nice to see photographers talking about doubting theirselves and their struggles. Makes them easier to connect with. Please keep making videos, as you continue to motivate me to think outside the norm and chase my love of this hobby.
I love your different approach. No super-ego, just the enjoyment of photography and the experience of being human🙂. Down periods comes to us all but you prevailed.I Look forward to all your videos, keep up the good work
Hi Adrian, the desert certainly gave you a great gift wrapped up in great images and happiness. would be great to see you on the Moon taking great images. ONE SMALL STEP FOR ADRIAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR PHOTOGRAPHY . Loved the first picture you took of the Tree and that Blue Sky was something else. Not the usual Blue you normally see in a Sky. Even though your lens broke I hope you will keep it as a memory and great times that you had with that lens. Many thanks 😊
Great to see you in my back yard. I’ve enjoyed shooting many of those locations over the past couple of months, often in the back of my (older, grubbier) Subaru. As a weekend warrior I take what I can get from the weather; thankfully the ephemeral central to eastern Oregon weather gives me enough of a change up to keep it interesting. Wishing you good light and good shooting as the trip continues.
Really beautiful and meaningful images. As a coastal Oregonian I appreciate experiencing the other side of the state through your travels. Thank you for your exceptional videos 📸.
Wow, what a video. The last one was tremendous and this one great. It's a tough call to be out alone for so long, the mental strength, discipline and commitment is astounding, and the photos are wonderful. Thank you so much for posting.
Sorry about your lens but I admire your tenacity, and you got some outstanding images despite it all . I really lived the tractor and farm building really tells a story about a time that's past
I had something very much like that happen to me. It almost ruined a long planed vacation as it happened on the first day. I’m glad you recovered at least a bit.
Really give the impression you are alone. What a vast place. I would struggle with that. I would be questioning my reasons also when the camera fell. Often had a feeling of self doubt. Great videos as always..
We spend a lot time with our equipment.-create sentimental images and the adventures create nostalgia. The camera and lenses become our babies. We’re sorry for your loss.
Another great video Adrian. Your straight forward narrative is a welcome relief and it is nice to see you closer to my home area taking photos of landscapes like I see and photograph.
I enjoy both mediums. However, I would be lying if I said I didn’t get a little MORE excited when he would make the one-off videos with his old Bronica.
Hey Adrian, you should be able to send the lens in for repair. The same thing happened to one of my Tamron lenses and instead of buying a new one I decided to get it repaired. Turned out to be much cheaper than a new lens! As always great content and very inspiring images! Keep pushing!
@@aows Your photography has been so influential on mine. I have a completely different mental approach and am becoming more adept at recognising a potential monochrome image. It has even played a huge part in my decision to buy a 'new' (actually used) zoom lens. So my small donation is a token of my gratitude.
Great work. Hard work! Doubts? Of course! Equipment failure part of life. I think a few color images of dawn in desert, wouldn't hurt? Bravo. Look forward.
I really admire your tenacity and the way you film your feelings as you go. Looking forward to the next chapter in your travels. Best wishes from New Zealand.
I've been to the Blue Basin twice last year and have taken hundreds of images there, none of which made it into my portfolio. It seems like there's a lot of potential, but it's really hard to make a composition there. And if you have never been to Leslie Gulch near the Idaho border, next time you swing through NE Oregon/Idaho on I-84 it might be worth the detour. I can particularly recommend Juniper gulch, and the trail. I'm going back there as soon as the weather gets interesting and the smoke clears. I'd also like to get down to the Alvoord desert this winter.
Right, same here. It's a beautiful place, it feels like there could be an image anywhere, but it's really, really tough to find a composition that works. The place really pushes you. I've never been to Leslie Gulch but it's been on my list forever, since I visited the Owyhees a decade ago. I went to Succor Creek which is so close, but at the time I hadn't heard of it. I hope to make it there next time I'm in the area, but yes, the weather is a key factor when visiting remote places in the desert. I wonder how crowded it gets these days.
@@aows The road from Succor Creek to Leslie Gulch is not great, I wouldn't go that way again. It's better to go from Idaho to Leslie Gulch, a much better road, no sharp turns on high one lane cliffs. And faster from Ontario anyway. Leslie Gulch is much more crowded in the spring/summer/fall than it used to be. It's so close to Boise and Boise has exploded in recent years. The late fall/winter is probably the best time and least crowded time to go there.
@@EdwardMartinsPhotography thanks! That's good to know. And yes, I think I'd go in late fall / winter to a place like that. I visited Succor Creek during a snowstorm and even though it got a bit tricky at some points, it was absolutely beautiful and had the whole place for ourselves haha. Thank you again!
This was almost a spiritual journey. At times I felt like I was intruding in something personal. Thank you for allowing all of us to experience it with you.
Very Nice video again, but please come to The Netherlands, a boring land for photography, no mist , no hills , but a great challenge......hopefully take this opportunity
Thanks again for sharing your mental and physical processes. Two questions for a reality check: How much time did you spend reviewing the footage and editing the video for this segment? How much time did you spend editing just the still photos for this segment? There is so much more cost to your effort than we see in this 30-minute video. No matter what our sphere, almost all of us go through those "Why the hell am I doing this?" days more than once. No matter what your belief system is, almost everything we do in this life is trivial. Thus, there is no reason why your trivialities are any less important then mine.
Hola Adrián, me he perdido alguno de tus videos, no sé si has sustituido tu 28-200 por otro, o si has hecho cualquier otra cosa. Tampoco sé si has cambiado tu A7 R3. Ánimo en tu eterno viaje de búsqueda. 👍
Man, you print small images, you add a lot of noise in a post. You shooting in bad weather condition. I think you should try to use Olympus/OMD equipment!
Not the first accident you had, or the first camera/lens you broke. Lesson not learned. Why use full set of camera/lens for videos? A GoPro does the same thing, 4K, and made to survive the accidents. Some may say the GoPro video quality is even better.

Very engaging video, I feel like I’m there with you. The lens can be replaced, but you can’t. Be safe, Adrian.
Adrian , you have read "El amigo del desierto", of Pablo d'Ors.
You’re one of my favorites to watch because it’s real. And, candidly, the amount of effort you put in is criminally underrated and under viewed

the purpose of everything is to feel the Eternal in a few seconds of happiness
Sorry you suffered a casualty on this hike... As usual I really enjoy your photos and content.
Another wonderful, elegaic video.

You are an awesome person and a great photographer. Thank you for taking us on a trip through beautiful landscapes.
Amazing photography and so inspiring 🙏
Your videos are always a wonderful Photography lesson. Thanks Adrian
Great job as always 👏👏👏👍💪
I miss your film videos.
did he switch to digital?
I enjoy both mediums. However, I would be lying if I said I didn’t get a little MORE excited when he would make the one-off videos with his old Bronica.
@@RazeTheWeak film photography costs a lot in money and in energy
@@chriscard6544 - Oh, dude. I feel the pain. Just picked up an M6 and 35mm Summicron. Bank account ain’t happy lol. It’s worth it to me, though.
@@RazeTheWeak I know the feeling. My fridge is full of 120 rolls and 4x5 sheets

One word amazing!
Your video inspires me to go back out hiking and photography. Thank you for this great video. Sorry to see what happened to your lens.
Great video Adrian , really enjoyed that . Some fantastic photos there , love your determination and enthusiasm
Very enjoyable and inspiring video as always!
Great video again. Why not try short bungee cord(s) and tent pegs to hold the tripod down.
This was almost a spiritual journey. At times I felt like I was intruding in something personal. Thank you for allowing all of us to experience it with you.

I sent a thankyou payment to help with replacing the broken lens. A moving video.
Thumbnail reminds me of Episode 4 whene the stormtrooper finds Droid parts
Advance Camera in Beaverton. If the lens is fixable, they can do it.
Te vimos el otro dia en Costco
dji osmo pocket 3 for vloging
Say, what tripod and head did you use there? Your description link is broken

an inspirational set of images with an uplifting message to bring me hope in the darker days thank you
