      @@cs512tr yes film has an expiration date and keeping it in the fridge keeps it fresh until that said date and keeping it in the fridge basically keeps it preserved

    Having a somewhat long-term project is a wonderful way to stay motivated and focused (sorry, had to say it). You can stray away and then come back and dive in all fired up and it doesn't have to be all-consuming. You seem to have a great start with these and other images prior to this. Given a longer time frame to complete this, I'd say you're safe sharing most of the images that will eventually be published. Of course most doesn't mean all, so you can tuck a few favorites away for a printed surprise. Speaking of printed, I have been remiss in saying how much I enjoyed your 'Playground' zine. It took me a couple months to finally track it down due to moving, but I got it and the images are quite inspiring. Another great video today, thanks for your efforts.

    Concerning what to keep to yourself. You are the artist and feel free to keep your best shots to yourself. We all love your work which is why we watch videos, but being surprised by work you told us about would be a wonderful surprise!! As a UA-camr you do not have to share all of your work, show a couple videos and talk about the process!
    After your book you could talk about your favorite shots in the book?

    I've never been to New Jersey, but that Wildwood has some really cool retro buildings. It's a great project, and really does a great job capturing something I'm sure a lot of people--like me--didn't know existed. Because I'll admit, at first I thought "why's he taking photos of some city in NJ?" But now I know, and I'm glad I stuck around to find out.

  • @foreignoutskirts1941

    Please do a video on metering without a light meter, your photos before the sekonic were still so beautiful and I’m kinda iffy about the whole metering thing. Great video as always!

    • @brentsmith9411
      @brentsmith9411 5 років тому +1

      Highly recommend accepting the use of a meter. It's just a great investment and a pretty necessary tool. I promise your ratio of throwaway shots to keepers will soar in favor of the keeper pile. You can always guess, but imagine if you had the perfect shot compositionally but you guessed the exposure wrong and it ruined the shot. I've personally had that happen enough times that I now make sure to always have a meter with me.

    @shannonpalmer 5 років тому

    I'm definitely interested in watching the process of your project coming together, from shooting through to printing a book. I'm currently working on two simultaneous personal projects which I plan to have culminate in books, and it'll be cool to witness someone else going through the same process at the same time, especially because one of my projects also involves me going back to the town where I grew up and photographing places I remember having an impact on me. It's great that we have the opportunity to watch other artists as the work in real time. Thanks for sharing your journey!

    Fridge storage is definitely necessary if you are in hot climates. If you're shooting fresh film, it won't expire or be damaged in normal conditions, but refrigeration is definitely safer. If you love grain, leave it in a car. ha ha. But I'm sure this has been said 20 times by now ... Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing how this comes together.
