I love that you’re diving deeper into photography 😊 you’re just so damn good at it.

What a perfect timing! I’m gonna cry. I’ve been trying to start my own film lab business this month, this video gave me a lot of courage and confidence. Especially an artist like you, Peter, I really appreciate this. I can trust more of myself and what I’m doing is meaningful and useful. Thank you. ❤

Welcome back to the wonderful world of analog photography Pete! There's a few of us here in the depths of YouTube that shoot a lot of film and love to nerd out about it. There's also a huge rabbit hole to fall down and the community is very cool! I hope this video gets lots more people interested in the craft!

Film to me is just focusing on the process, forgetting the result, and being surprised by the result after a while

When someone from this new generation says this, FILM IS NOT DEAD It sounds like the magic continues..thank you for your fantastic and artistic contribution..

I switched to shooting only film last year, and it was such a refresher to photography. Now I shoot both film and digi and I feel like my skills in photography has increased since shooting film.

I can’t help but feel a tinge of sadness watching this. I think many of us crave all things analogue, reminiscing about a time not so long ago where everything was much less clinical and much more innocent and personal. I hope we will have the sense to integrate the good of that era not only in our tools, but in our attitudes and humanity.

Love seeing how stoked you are to shoot film!!!

PM is that enthusiastic guy that every month discover something new (or rediscover) and get excited like a baby. Then he makes videos about his "new" passion and ispires million of us... keep going man. Love from San Marino🇸🇲

This brings back memories. I shot my first wedding in 1979. No one realizes but back in the day when shooting square format we had 12 rolls of 120 which is 144 pictures and we shot a whole wedding with that. Every picture we shot had to be perfect. That art has been lost.

[MylesMatsuno]

Love that you went documentary style with this. Felt like a film. Thank you!

I was into VFX first, and I discovered your videos when you had like around 80K subscribers. Watching them inspired me to pursue photography, which I've always been drawn to. I even sometimes wish I had been born 20 or 30 years ago. Well, the thing is, I liked your style better at first, and then slowly you started to post and make videos about vintage things and the stories they have in your life. I'm also a big vintage lover, so I loved your style already, but your content got even better for me once you started incorporating vintage stuff into your videos. As I learned more about storytelling and photography, I became increasingly fascinated by the colors and aesthetic of film cameras. I've recently started shooting more on film, so I was thrilled when I saw that you began shooting on film too. Words can't express how happy it makes me feel to watch your latest video. I also wanted to mention that I've always appreciated your skill at storytelling, and the way you convey your stories is what I love the most. Shooting on film has added an extra layer to your work that I find truly captivating.

Those few shots at the end were so rich man, love them. This takes me back to my college days shooting roll after roll and developing my own BW in the back room under a red light. Wow these are special, can't wait to see where you go with this mate.

My grandfather gave me his Minolta Srt 101, the feeling of shooting analog is insane, and the grainy photos are superb! Really enjoyed this vid Peter!

[sneakingelephant]

I’ve been shooting film alongside digital for a little over a year now. It actually helped my digital process so much and help me understand the importance of light and how to make use of shutter speed and aperture in more creative ways. I’m sure I could have learned it eventually without a film camera but it definitely feels like it sped up that process for me

[BivensCreative]

Beyond anything else, it's super cool to see you geeking out about doing this. The joy is palpable in the video.

[PolarProFilters]

Yah Pete! Here is to your next roll of film

[mallorydavisphotography]

This made my day, dude! Your reactions were all the same as mine when I dove into film recently ... the shutter sound, the light metering, and getting that first roll back that didn't suck! As always, well done video and appreciate your thoughtfulness around photography <3 - Mal

Love that you're shooting film! It's just a majestic experience and I just keep falling deeper into it. I grew up with it, too, and every time I tried to throw it away, convinced that digital was completely superior, it never happened. I'm launching a community darkroom fundraising campaign on Monday, so this has me extra pumped. :)
