What's your 2021 Photography Resolution?
Also, thank you for being a part of my 2020. Yes, 2020 sucked. But I am so thankful to all of you for being a part of it with me.

Thanks for the channel, Brendan. I've really enjoyed catching up with your channel through 2020 and already been really missing the travel adventures. Hoping we can all make something of 2021 and thanks for the channel. All the best.

I've been subscribed to you for years. You give a lot of free tips and advice, and it's fun to go on your adventures with you. Keep up the good work.

Mmmm, 2020 the year Brendan became a “normal “ person. Home, mortgage, a car and a pet....and best of all, a wife.
Yep 👍 that’s a normal person in my world.
Hope 2021 treats you both well Brendan. Stay safe. And thanks for sharing again.

Thanks Brendan. I hope that you meet and exceed all your 2021 personal and professional goals. Go for it. Your Morocco adventure was quite something. And having spent much of January touring that beautiful country, I remember feeling disappointed for you and your fellow travellers when all was cut short. My wife and I are currently planning to ship our camper van to Europe (from your home country) in 2022 for 6-12 months. Having a good strong coffee at your cafe is on my list of must-do’s.

Really brilliant how you've completely surfed the crest of the challenges as they've come and turned each set back into a fantastic opportunity and period of growth. Congrats dude, very very hard earned and well deserved.

[keating_around]

Can confirm. Solo quarantine sucks.
I’m happy you guys are enjoying your new home and coffee shop. Best of luck in 2021! ✌🏻

Happy New Year Brendan and may 2021 be your year to shine

[joshuaschwalbe]

Happy New Year Brendan! Nice to hear that such a challenging year had a very good last quarter for you! This year can only get better!

[nomadcompany]

mate that lighting is harsh downstairs....that Iceland photo is magic... Happy New Year to you and Jodie and thanks for the entertainment in 2020.

2020 was definitely a challenge for all of us. I was thankful that I was also able to spend the time in lockdown last spring with my parents and also being grateful that two of my friends streamed a lot of video games on Twitch. After lockdown, I was able to get out to explore more of my home state of Michigan and do some road trips to the Dakotas as well as to Utah and Arizona. Moving forward to 2021, I feel that it is going to be bumpy at times and not normal like 2019, but it will be much better than 2020. For this year, I want to create more photo and video content from my home here in Michigan and hopefully get back out internationally later in the year. Happy New Year Brendan!

Is this the unspoken studio reveal?? Bro it's looking fresh!! Prints are a bit lacklustre but the soundproofing of the walls looks well cool. Nice.

[michaelglass]

You included the clip that made me subscribe and also made me buy my first 3 legged thing tripod. You digging that van out of the snow with the tripod leg. Love it! You've helped me grow and change as a photographer a lot!

[xavierbeaudoux]

Many thanks Brandon for all your work and videos and I wish you the best for 2021 🍻

[antonblanke]

I love the (intentional?) self-irony hinting to Peter McKinnon after the coffee sequence! Went to Iceland a few weeks after you (while you were in Morocco) - Stocksness was amazing.

[scotty]

Certainly has been a strange year indeed. Managed to visit family in Isle of Sheppey in September and got one of my favourite images of 2020 but like you BvS have found it a hard year to keep motivated. Hope 2021 is a prosperous year for you and Jodie

[paulasimson]

Wow, what a fantastic video. It was wonderful hearing some positivity about 2020, even though the year slammed you hard. I've been focusing on that today as well (Jan 1). I laughed to hard at the end - "I'm going to make 2021 my friend"!

[joycady]

Well, thank you for giving us many exciting things to come! Looking forward to the future videos where you share your amazing skills! Happy New Year to you, Jodie and Monkey~!
