wow man, the portraits of mike were incredible. you nailed it right on the head with your explanation of the gesture, how it really says so much about how he's grown this fig company both figuratively and physically. also, stomping all the haters throats about how the mamiya can't be an incredible portrait camera.

The Owen Wilson "wows" at the sun peeking through the clouds...

Love that feeling when you see a scene in amazing light & your just mind trips out in excitement to try & capture it. Best feeling ever. It's what we photographers live for, because it doesn't happen all the time, and that's what makes it so special. 😊🥰😁

Dude the happiness these videos give me is undescribable, thank you so much Willem for making these

[loganvdor]

Love the environmental portraits in the greenhouse and the contemplative vibe of the image with the baptismal font at 7:02.

[silentrunning]

Love when the power lines split the trees..

[mrmotomoto]

I hope you have a chance to mail the greenhouse couple the pictures you took of them. I have a feeling it would make them feel really great!

i love the picture with the fig tree farmers on it! so beautiful! and their gesture touched me somehow!

[RodrigoVazquez]

What I like the most about Willem’s work is that it feels real, there’s nothing pretentious, there are no super fast transitions and annoying electronic music, just a relaxing trip seeing beautiful pictures where you can actually feel every single moment

[domnicaable]

this must be the most beautiful thing i have seen in a while, photography, story, music, insane !!

[jorockgalvan]

i feel like when william shows us a photo, we get to see the world through his eyes, and even when we see his photos and the video side by side, the photo has a beauty that wasn't present in the video. I have to imagine William sees the world with medium format eyes.

That was THE most awesome background music I think I have heard, period. Just freakin' cool stuff!!

[brianclay]

Loved everything about this video. The soundtrack was perfection. Married the images with the emotion. Chefs kiss.

Wow... Recently moved from the east coast out to LA and this really hit home for me. Not sure I ever appreciated this kind of landscape because it was all I ever knew. Can't wait to go home for Christmas and show my dad this video. Thanks Willem.

That’s my hometown! I’d recognize it anywhere. Photos came out great 👍

[thenorthofsouth]

really liked the brief shot of you driving with the camera focused inwards

[Skylarblue]

[tnicole]
