  • In episode 15 of the VLOG, I do a small renovation to a bedroom closet and turn it into a higher functioning 'photo gear locker'. Also, your gear is useless comes from my thoughts on owning things in a WANT VS NEED scenario.

    To all the people saying that he's your substitute to Neistat, he is not. He is not the second Neistat. He's the first Peter McKinnon.

    I like that room! nice. Also i like your message and its kind of refreshing to see you're sticking to our roots when it comes to gear and thats why ive always watched your videos for advice. As im learning from you i still remember you talking about your first point and shoot and once you got batteries for it you would't stop shooting. Keep on uploading man. Quite inspiring.

  • @DaliborSaula

    Great tips Peter. A lot of us including myself were so hung up on buying gear, that it took so long to actually get out there and use it.

  • @AronBagel
    @AronBagel Před 7 lety

    I really needed this video. For the past few months I've been working a lot on getting better at photography and building my instagram, and this week Uni's exams came up and I thought I didn't have the time to shoot. I started worrying about not uploading consistently, on how I'm gonna need to upgrade my gear to produce better quality images, and before you know it I was looking at new lenses to buy. However, instead of thinking about how I'm gonna shoot stuff, I just need to go out and actually shoot! My quest for new camera lenses brought me to your channel and you've already earned you another subscriber. Looking forward to more!

    I literally built a desk using spare wood and and old fish tank base. Started shooting some vlog type of footage and editing on it using my smartphone and tablet literally because of your channel. Don't know where it's gonna go and don't care as long as I'm simply just doing it. Nervous about posting on CZcams though. Baby steps ya know.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Really diggin your vlogs man. It's nice to see someone at your level talk about how the gear doesn't matter. I totally agree, I have people ask me all the time what gear I use and my response is the same, the gear doesn't matter. It's about telling a story. Keep up the good work bro.

In this selfish age I truly appreciate your knowledgeable vlogs as I myself believe in paying things forward and try to pass along my experience and tips with others looking to make their projects better. Have a killer weekend.
