One of my favorite art related quotes is "Music is always made for the listeners, but the first listener is the player" by Wynton Marsalis. We often make things for others to see/listen to, but ultimately you have to start by making something YOU want to see. When I learned that it changed the way I make things, and it's one of the things that reignited my fire for creativity.
This is a very good point. Thanks for sharing.
Exactly! Make something that YOU would watch/listen/see! Learnt the same thing
This is a great quote! I had the absolute pleasure of (finally) seeing Wynton Marsalis play live in Portland Maine 4 weeks ago. He is an absolute legend.
That's a beautiful quote
Peter!!! Thank you brother! I sold my first large print to a stranger for over $1000! (Photo of Jurassic rock in Maui shot from an helicopter) and I learned everything from you on the last 8 years, from beginner to award wining wedding photography to sell my first print for Art Display!! I hope one day I can thank you in person!!!
Well done, man! You are that wolf 🐺
That’s awesome, congrats you deserve it! How did the client find you or where were you selling your work?
Insane.
You're a legend Peter! Always inspire me to push. Really appreciate that!
Anyone else LIKE a PM video before you even start watching it?
Yes
Every time
Without fail.
Every single time ... For a decade now :-)
Everyone
Hey thats my office! 😊
WE miss you MATTIH 😢😢
How i wish i could be like you
I LOVE these kinds of discussions. So much food for thought. I have been literally having this sort of conversation with my wife for the past few weeks, she's in a very important transition point in her life. I've invited her out to watch the video with me in it was very inspiring for her as well. So let me leave a very warm thank you here for you.
This is so good. A proper conversation about art. Nothing better! Great to see Lane as well!
Damn, guys. That video helped me a lot. Feeling not seen, missing the algorithm by miles, having the feeling that no one sees what I'm doing. Thank you so much for your inspiration. Bring back blogs! And conversations like that!
Agreed. This resonated deeply
you always inspire thankyou, but we all must remember why we all pickup a camera and started taking photos, the fun the journey and the adventure to see things in a different way, thanks for the inspiration to do better.
excellent video! I always love the open honesty. It sheds some light on what happens behind the scenes and really helps put things in perspective. Also bring back the blog and toss that non-alcoholic espresso-martini recipe up there while you're at it (please)
At 10:50. Words have never resonated with me more. These last 2 years have beat me into a shell. But I’m thankful for it. I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. “‘I’ve never been lighter” is exactly how I’d describe it. I’m finally learning who I am and I’ve never felt more. I was described as heartless, having seemingly no emotion. Today I can FEEL art.
Art is a rhythmic therapy when you engage that energy with your soul. If you care to share that with others. It's a blessing to them if it resonates, but it's always a blessing and meditative journey for the one soul that creates for the healing of one's soul.
"Art is useless unless someone sees it" is what Oscar Wilde stated in the introduction to "The picture of Dorian Gray". If you read it in the context of the whole thing, you realise... he is right. Useful art is no longer art in its purest form, was the point. His teacher maybe just referred to that.
Sometimes people don’t realize the revelation of the deep and are stuck in the shallow
I agree with the whole context of Oscar Wilde.. But the quote is somewhat right even if it's taken out of context, in a different way though
It's likely that the artist saw the art until either is gone, so the art is useful even to the artist..
Be it a tool for creative expression (during the making), self-critique (after it's finished), or as means to put the food on the table (after it's sold)
Hey Pete! Great video! Loved it all! Best video for this eve, especially those shots where Lane makes some coffee on the open fire wearing the finest leather.
Peter, loving your videos that you've been uploading lately. That real talk that you do about how social media has changed, why we should not care about numbers.... wow. Love it. Its really good to watch your videos as a creator. ❤
I love those conversations. You're a great host: let people tell their stories. Thank you for sharing
You are you Pete, you said your style has changed, to me, it hasn’t. You are still the guy I subscribed to long time ago, positive energy, everytime developing, surprising and, yes, inspiring. Your style has evolved, you’re more happy, you recovered your love for the art again, doesn’t get better than that. Happy Wednesday, cheers as usual, from Germany.
Woahhhh, they are back, the podcast style, interview style episodes are back. Super stocked already. Thanks Pete 🤩🙌🏻 absolutely love to layback and watch these videos.
Lane is such a cool dude. Honestly one of the nicest guys in the industry
Incredibly inspiring video and so much to take in that can be applied to life in general. This is something that needs to be heard by so many! Thanks for doing this video. This one will stand the test of time.
Big fan of these raw conversations with purely talented people and views. Thank you Pete! Definitely keeps my mind on my goals!
Absolutely love this community and all of the creativity that comes with it. Cheers to life.
Always love this insightful introspective type videos. I say send the blog and bring back photo stories 🙏🏾
That room smells like beard balm, bergamot and aged leather. I am not mad at that tho
Man, this is a really timely video. Thank you both!
Needed to hear this today! So many interesting points of view - great video!
Love these kind of videos from you Pete. Bravo!
The small push I needed to keep moving forward. Thank you Pete.
Peter McKinnon: I'm only shooting film. Also Peter McKinnon walks out with Leica Q series camera.
I can feel it through the screen my bro! Love that energy Peter. Off to take macros of grass blades lol.
My favorite brand is one from Japan called Visvim. The owner used to make books with pictures of items from his collection, the pieces from the clothing line for the season, and his reflections about where the inspiration came from for the clothing. They were called dissertations and were hard cover bound. I think Pete needs to make them.
These motivational videos absolutely GET to me!! I love them and I'm left feeling so inspired!!
Defiantly needed this video! Didn't know what to expect when I clicked, but thank you to both of yall.
I luv this format Peter!!!
I love this podcast style of video! Please make more of these type of relaxed chill conversational type videos totally digging it!
Favorite PM video in a long time. Thank you for doing this one.
Need more episodes like this. Banger!
Wonderful, valuable discussion, Peter. Thank you.
I was thinking of you like 30 minutes ago, I wanted to listen to you. Thanks for sharing a new one.
Amazing content and conversation as always.
Thanks Pete
These types of conversations are soo good for someone who is always looking to learn a thing or two from someone who has already achieved so much and yet they are still hungry to learn and move even further in their life and art.. 🙏🏼Thank you Sir P for such amazing conversation videos.. always a student of you and the art that you create 📸✨
Hope to see more of these conversations Pete!
Lane, you, and Jay... Bro you all are inspirations! I have my Coup de Tete custom hat, ordering a custom jacket from Master... Pete what the heck am I going to get from you to support the Trio? Much love my brother!
Really loved this video! This is exactly what many people need to hear. Love the new Peter
Started photography because of you Pete! Just got my video featured by Canon yesterday and couldn’t be more stoked 🤘
Really enjoyed this conversation. I appreciated his candor about living paycheck to paycheck despite what the perception was of his success. What amazing photos you showed of his. I will look him up to see his work.
Love it!! Absolutely love it, it’s what I need to see when I’m striving and working every day to do what I love every day and take pictures! Agree to the scary, challenge yourself and you never know who you’ll meet and where it goes 👍👍 legends
Such wisdom filled depth with creativity and truth as an aspiring creator turned into a business, thanks Pete!
How cool to be around people that you inspire and that inspire you. This was 🔥.
Just watched and literally cried a little bit when you said "the hungry wolf will runs the furthest". Just feeling the grind and stress everyday trying to make it. This is amazing Peter!
That was pretty cool, solid content, chill vibe, creative broll, I liked it.
This was a beatiful conversation, I love it. Also, maybe that quote with the Wolf would be a nice theme for Master Supply co products?
Hey! I'm attending Sheridan College. In second year, not thinking about dropping out, but I get what a relief that would be. Intense!! I live hearing your professional story :)
Love idea of a blog. Great video as always, very inspiring.
This was a great piece PM. Appreciate you bro
Beautiful talk you guys, loved it!
Really enjoy these not-podcast episodes! Just short conversations about photography/art.
I love these conversations with other artists. It's literally the most visually stimulating "podcast" one can experience.
I've stopped posting photos on instagram due to the numbers. I am also afraid of posting reels. I travel a lot and love doing it, but somehow the numbers got to me. It's like I am constantly being judged and looking for validation from others. Which is wild.
Beautiful video Pete!
Retired photographer,of 50+ years. Similar story,a friend of mine.saw my life as a shooter,with not a great income. SO, i also started bying and selling Land,and trading the stock market. HE,said no way you will be good,doing several things. His limited mind,could only handle, one job. Years later, he’s stocking shelves at a resale store. I retired, at 50,with a BIG six figure income. To ALL, don’t let others try to Run YOUR life. And today,at 69 years old,still shooting with a Leica M10M, with the 90mm,f2.2 Thambar.
Such a good input. Like every creative struggles between these two sides. Financial and creative success.
Thanks Pete
I shoot 1-2 rolls a week on film. I spend way too much money on cameras. I take the time to go out, photo, scan, organize, and I post them on my Instagram. They get 0-17 likes and I'm absolutely AOK with that. I do it for myself.
I’d love to see your photos if you don’t mind posting your insta here. Cool if not.
I love this one. It hits everything that I believe when I started to be serious in photography. I don't care the validation of the others and started working on ehat makes me happy with my art.
the website page is a video but its a video with your words showing up, you can be creative with the fonts and how they appear on the screen. its like a blog in a video, you watch the video and you see the words so you can read it as you watch. smile love the energy
Don’t ever stop being who you are Pete I have watched you since day one on CZcams and I love the evolution of your channel. You’re one of the real ones and that’s why you’re still around and not quitting CZcams.
That conversation inspires me.. Thanks pete🥰❤ really really good one❤
Man... watching this amazing video with these two legends while having my cup of coffee... what a great way to start the day... Thanks for the video Peter \o/
❤️❤️❤️ Fantastic words of advice and a couple of ripper quotes ❤️❤️❤️
I always love watching your videos :) the personable ness makes me happy!
Inspiring! Thank you!!! 💖
I remember the idea of "gear and beer" type pod idea you had a while back. I imagine this is just an updated idea of it. I like it
awesome video! def love your videos. obviously, you would kill it with a blog too. keep up the awesome work!
Wanna see more depth conversation like this❤ its very inspiring sir💙
Love it.
Specially the part, where is your art good if nobody see it. I struggle with that part with my Art.
You are one of the artist who inspired me to start my photography craft and Ignited my fire for photography art and a way out of the military.
I LOVE YOUR NEW STYLE, HOLD ON TO THAT. 🤩❤️🔥❤️🔥
A video that inspired me to step back from media photography, which I was completely burnt out from. I returned to the style of photography that was the catalyst to my love of imagery.
Hi from Uzbekistan,Pete keep striving 🎉🎉🎉,God bless you🎉🎉🎉
Thanks man for your attention
Pete,your videos are so amazing🎉🎉🎉
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one of these P, I loved it!
You’re thinking of bringing back a blob? What does that mean? A blob of what? Goo? Have you seen the movie, “The Blob”? Outstanding photography in that movie.
We need the PM Photography pod would listen for hours love these videos🤘🏼
Yes bring back the Blog Pete! I love them 👏
That All depends on who the art is intended for. Art can be useful and therapeutic for the creator, a great escape. Music is art. One can create music and art for themselves and get just as much satisfaction without sharing it. That’s when the ego comes into play and the pure essence of the art is sometimes lost, it’s no longer your art and it’s now open for interpretation.
Many thanks for this video!!!👍👍 I´m Peter from Germany and I love your videos and your work!
that fade to black outro moment was so calming 😃
Pete just knows how to push those inspirational buttons and just lift you up. Love your channel / content ❤
Love what you do!! staying true to yourself can be a challenge with how the world pushes us. You and I have different styles but I love that! I think the most 'Likes" I ever got is like 32 on IG haha! but I love what I do and I'll keep doing my thing! you and a handful of other photographers really hit home about staying true to yourself and style. Thanks for being True!!!
Lot of different thumbnails but that one finally pulled me in :P
Your videos never fail to inspire me!
As someone who provides for his family with a camera, I really appreciate that Peter didn't downplay the fact that some of us have to shoot the way that keeps us paid.
Those jackets go crazy!!! Great video! Really cool!
That Thanksgiving movie was a ton of fun! Lane's amazing 👏🏻
Peter, you make my day every time you put a video! Every time! Thank you!
I could listen to conversations between the two of you for hours. Oh maaan it would be epic if you'd have a podcast @Peter
Really enjoyed this conversation and love the part of forgetting the numbers and being light and happy. Y'all hooked up with Colter Wall yet? A fellow Canadian, insanely talented songwriter. :)
This was such an engaging conversation between two artists ✨
I can see why Peter M has such a following - he provides a dimension beyond kit and tips… many thanks!
Very enjoyable to watch, two people enjoying their progression
So many quotables. Great video. More of these please!
Art is for me and only me, that’s why I shoot, paint and drawer. Others seeing it is a bonus to me, I don’t share a lot of what I create because it’s for me.
Art is perhaps the purest and highest form of communication that exists...but perhaps we need to communicate with ourselves first, to make art. Excellent video.
