Excellent!

Thanks. How refreshing. All I need to know for the rest of my life, in fact.

"You are your own person. You do whatever the hell you want. You have no obligation...."

Everyone is arguing what street photography is here all the time recently. It is whatever it is to you. What more meaning about anything is there to know?

Listening to Jay IS quite refreshing!

Be open..... walk slow.

Indeed advice for life let alone photography. If only I could remember it every day!

Learned more in that 2:43 video than I probably have in the last 2 years. Quite timely, as I'm heading out on a 10-day 'wander' in New Mexico in a couple of weeks. The video definitely altered my plans.

Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed it, too. Thanks.
Very helpful to keep in mind.

I have always been a fan. Also of Pete Turner.

You Do Whatever The Hell You Want! Be Your Own Person. You Have No Obligation.

Refreshing and Timely.

Seems like good points. Thanks for sharing that.

Don't even know why this had to be said. Do what you want unless someone's paying you to do what they want. Hardly profound.

I have followed Jay Maisel for about 10 years and I have always liked his approach. He has his home/studio in New York and he does workshops. This is a documentary on Jay.

Why? Because YOU didn't listen the first time.

There are no rules, but 'walk slow'...

this could have been titled how to be a better writer, person artist, musician just about anything. A brilliant piece, thanks for posting.
