The fact that you guys took the time to talk to that elderly couple was not just awesome, but also so respectful! Loved it! Will definitely be buying his book. Great interview J!😊

[@DarrylHebbes]

I love that you left the old couple interaction in, nice touch, human

[@mattgermond7957]

Incredible video! The chat with the older couple was so cool. This is like a masterclass in street photography in nyc! Very inspiring 😊

[@mikeyhomie]

Wonderful video! I feel inspired to create more conceptual depth to my imagery. Chris and you are a great duo :)

[@bananasandbass]

I love how as he was describing a nasty interaction with the lady chasing him, he happens to get the actual most lovely IRL interaction with that elderly couple 😊😊😊

[@nicolasmalmsten457]

“When they see us in the streets, all they want to do is take pics and I’m like okayyy”

[@benkuzaaa]

very insightful conversation!

[@EnisMemic]

20:11 Trevor Wisecup casually passing on the left hand side ?

[@trevorwisecup]

Yep that’s me

[@EnisMemic]

@@trevorwisecup you're so majestically beautiful, I really wonder how he didn't catch you

[@joanmichel]

The elder couple was heartwarming ✨

[@ruff1draft]

Chris Chu is a really nice down to earth person you both are

[@barrychattillion1705]

Great interaction with the older couple. My experience is that most people have a story that they are waiting to share.

[@jasontroll]

Jonathan looking real good!! Phenomenal video!

[@ruff1draft]

What a wonderful interview

[@prudencedibenedetto]

I work around there, and I love taking photos in that area.

[@Jakechams]

Two real ones!!!! Love this!

[@KingJvpes]

Jaaaake!! 🖤🖤

[@yanny-kun1020]

Two of the best!!

[@johnnybtheshooter1457]

2:49 that flap flip was kinda cool ngl lol

[@jb.photography]

Chris has to be the first person I’ve ever seen load the M6 correctly. You don’t need to trip the shutter and advance before putting the bottom plate back on. I feel like everyone trips the shutter and advances before closing the camera, which works, but isn’t necessary with the M6 quick reload system.

[@whoschrischu]

I get 39-40 shots everytime

[@iloveweezer69]

that photo of the couple was AMAZING!

[@supermanleon666]

What’s the cross body bag you’re using in this video?

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Just if helps, walking video is very jittery (and sound sometimes is lost for some milliseconds). Very interesting and enjoyable talk!!

[@juseppiii]

🔥🔥🔥

[@rudyortega3285]

Denver is similar to San Francisco. People are on guard and notice me a block away and stare at me. It's too bad that social media has made most people (outside of New York) paranoid instead of living their lives and not giving a fuck what other people are up to.

[@babettesfeast6347]

The interaction with the elderly couple was fantastic

[@nxw-here]

Yaaaaaaaaay area!!!!

[@PerfectNormal]

KingJvpes the OG!

[@vmdtcg]

Funny to hear Chris say that every street photographer goes to Wash only for me to watch myself and 3 other photographers walk past in the background lmfao 20:10

[@Jergling]

Chris Chu tactical reloads his camera (4k 120p edition)

[@Jkvillaluz]

Oh this is so dope! Also, been trying to get in contact w you Chris as I've been working on a long form documentary project on the Fil Am community in Daly City. Let me know if y'all are open to a quick connect!

[@josephjimenez2662]

Let’s goo!!!

[@KingJvpes]

[@babettesfeast6347]

The missed the girl in the pink tights pointing up

[@breccansparks7699]

[@visionforwardmedia]
