Welcome to my 2017 Bangkok and Hong Kong travel series. I have tons of content on its way, but this video is an overview and sneak peek of what’s coming up in the coming weeks. The main event was the Monogram Asia 8 x 8 Streetphotography Workshop in Bangkok. It was a huge success, and it was an honour and privilege to have been part of it. I thank Victor and Carmen of Barton 1972 for being part of my team to film the event. I also had a few smaller events, such as my film shootout, sponsored by CineStill Film and Meteor Hong Kong. Big thanks always to Helen and Florence of Fujifilm Canada for their continued support of my brand. Enjoy this introduction video, but stay tuned for more content coming soon.
Thank-you for all your support. If you liked this video, please go samurai on the LIKE button, and don’t forget to tell your friends. I would love to grow this channel so I can make more of these travel series videos throughout the year.

industrial street photographer
Hi take', where is this location in Hongkong? Thanks.
Cool you made a rhyme……
Can never go wrong with an opening nod to the Beastie Boys! Love the videos.
nice Beastie Boys intro
Creativity alive in SE Asia – enjoyed the tour BHT.
I love how wide the video is….☺
could you put links from the youtube channels of the photographers you are talking about in the description?
Great video! I love photography I am on INstagram ( wendzze )
this is so refreshing, Taco, love your vlogs, waiting on some more videos 🙂
I guess it's great to experience the good old days of film, but for someone that grew up in those days I don't miss it one bit.
Am I the only one that didn't see the street photography?
These vids are looking pretty cool!
Is there anyone left in the world that isn't trying to take a photo?! Lol.
any more cinestill film left? NYC needs some love
Belamy seems like a cool cat.
Great video! Thanks for filming/editing/creating your trip and sharing it with us 🙂 Click, Click!
please more videos,i love what you are doing 🙂
Yay! Been too deprived of your videos Take. Can't wait to see the rest 🙂
wheres your GFX at gerlfriend?
X-t2 for weather sealing on vacation. I remember running around with my d3200 under my shirt because of a mist
30 rolls of Cinestill?! Thats insane!! :O 😀
I really love your channel (sub long time ago, of course). Your passion about photography and gear are real. Thanks for another great video!
Lovely video Take. Hopefully one day you'll be able to come to the UK again…..it's definitely always rain in the air here 🙂
I always love the colors in your videos.
hey BHT, would like to know, what focal-length lens goes best with Leica M10 Frame-lines ?
28 or 35 or 50mm ?
how good is the new 35 Cron Asph when paired with M10 ?
It has 11 aperture blades, was announced – Jan 2016, and is Eric Kim's favorite as you know.
This is the only lens i may ever need for Street, Cafe, Outdoors, Nature.
It is unfortunately showing as out of stock in Leica website, for pre-order.
__________________
Which 3rd Party lens would you suggest in place of the 35 Cron ? . . they are 1/3rd or less in price too :
Zeiss 35mm f/2 Biogon T* ZM versus Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 C Biogon T* ZM
Voigtlander Nokton Asph 35mm f/1.2 II versus Voigtlander VM 35mm f/1.7 Ultron Asph
Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 Sonnar T* ZM versus Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 Nokton Asph
___________________
Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2 gives beautiful soap bubble bokeh . . . (but it is not available in Silver finish/color which i like).
is it ideal to go with native Leica Lens only ?
I don't know if i would go with Summarit, as they are slow at f/2.4 and also may not be as good in build quality as the above lenses !
thanks, regards.
If your cousin is on the lookout for a cute 40 year old Canadian boy, point her in my direction…
Nice to see your face. Was starting to miss your videos. Cheers 🙂
Looking forward to all the other videos you shoot during your trip. Thanks for this one.
Cannot wait for Hong Kong on November ?lots of familiar faces in that video…
That was really well thought and executed, as far as the video, Take. Well done. Keeping it rolling, dynamic, informative and making use of that big heart of yours by clearly featuring everyone else plus the film and the gear. You're the best, man, at being there for others, mediating, helping people connect, and that is one of the reasons why they (we) follow you and like you. ???
kinda missed u in the street,.. more street photography video please
Excited for all of the videos and content you've teased. Will be cool to hear your thoughts on how you got on with your setup on the trip when you get back.
Looks like it was fun!
ewww, Eric Kim…
Loved seeing the Bronica RF645 at 5:09!
