    Love Kazu and his pictures - seems a super humble fella but he’s low-key building one of the strongest bodies of work of any photographer featured on this series - truly such a deft and subtle eye - look forward to buying his book one day - keep em comin Paulie!

    He's different than a lot of walkie talkie shooter and seem to consider composite and situations more than running up on peeps in midtown which is cool but I dig his style. Go Kazu

    I've probably watched this twenty times, and today I noticed something pretty amazing watching this. At 4:55 you can clearly his back and how the shirt he's wearing has sun faded around his bag and camera strap. True dedication

    This was one of my favourite walkie talkie episodes so far. I love what he said about the difference between composition in colour vs black and white. As soon as his images went up on screen you could see it made perfect sense.
    Some great shots on the day too - the woman lying down on the steps was particularly memorable. 👌

    Kazu's positioning and timing is so impeccable. You can tell he has so much experience not only spotting moments but getting in the right place and waiting to get the shot he wants. Lots of inspiration from seeing him work!!

    Wow, a lot of great shots among his examples.
    IMO his B/W shots are much better than his Color shots.
    He's got a great eye for composition and framing.
    Well done.

    I've watched about 10 or so of these films and what I find so interesting is how all their characters are so different from each other but all are incredibly articulate in their own way, though are lot of the credit must also go to Paulie B here for his interview style and editing work.

    The tune the jazz band is playing about 4:44 in is a Sam Rivers tune called "Beatrice", if anyone is curious. NYC has to be the only place in the world you can hear a street band playing Sam Rivers. Miss that town. Great video!! Love this series, I'm hooked.

    Great title 'line of sight' the mum said to her daughter in passing. Hard to beat the trilogy Greater Atlanta, South Central and South East. Steinmetz is indeed a wonderful photographer. I'd love to see Kazu work outside of NYC. He has a beautiful sense of space in some of his photos made in the natural environment.
