My Youtube Channel - Darkroom and large format tutorials
I don't know where I got my imagination, but I know where I get my inspiration. From the work of others.
You know, I am a scientist for work, and every time I discuss something or write about something, I need to give due credit to those who came before me, to the state of the art, to the previous ideas that give sense to my new ideas and are the roots of my new work. This does not seem to be the case in art, where the same thing is called copying?
All right I'm going off topic, gone

Ha. Love to say that I have developed my own style. Yes, but that would be bit disingenuous, since I (and many others) tend to stand on the shoulders of others. It might be bits and pieces from magazine work, gallery, museums, friends and myriad of artists out there. Well, it's like, at least in my case, what would I do to make this visual better/different or more interesting ....and actual "copying" doesn't even enter into the equation. Just my two centavos.

With the videos, my goal is to show the actual experience of getting out there, and finding subjects. They aren't meant as tutorials, which is why I don't get into the technical stuff. I call them video journals as opposed to vlogs because I honestly don't create them as entertainment. I treat them as a written journal where I share my honest thoughts on the experience — the good, the bad, the mediocre. They are something I can look back on at a later date and see where I have come from, much the same as why people keep a written journal. My philosophy is to lead by example and show what is possible, as opposed to simply talking about technical stuff. I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by the videos being "for arm chair photographers who never leave home" but everyone is entitled to their opinion. :-)
I've only been taking LF for a few years, but would be lost without the knowledge learnt from youtube vids. Fred Newman taught me how to use movements, and many others have taught me how to use a light meter and the like. Coming from a small rural town in Australia there aren't any mentors or workshops. To be truthfull there arent that many of us in the state! I would be lost without the knowledge base on you tube. I salute those that take the time to record their misadventures so I might learn
