Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

I love to see Street Photography.

[ChrisFallander]

He looks like freediew!

[RoughingItBlog]

These excuses seemed to only make a non or mildly awkward situation more awkward...

[Superpui42]

street shooting is fun but where i come from you cant do that.

people always think you are stalking them. once a lady called the police because i took a shot of the street and her house was on it.

can you imagine how anoying that is?

[zenoist2]

@Superpui42 I had that too on a riverbank in the Uk.

Imagine a peaceful countryside in summer theres a few olde worlde type cottages so took a photo or 2.

Somebody came out and moaned at me.

"are you taking photos of my house?" Kind of nasty.

I swiftly left.

We live and learn.

[itsumonihon]

@zenoist2 a little friendliness goes farther than making excuses or being defensive or taking the "i have the right to photograph" approach that some people like to take. if it comes down to it just fake-erase the photos for the person being a jerk.

"You should see Eric Kim, he is a creepy Korean tourist with a Leica M9…"

[pioquintorodel]

nice approach....like it!

[cookwerth]

"i'll say it to a dude so it'll be less awquard" lol wtf?

[alchenist]

God! I always feel like someone will kick my ass when I go out for street photography. I guess I am too shy for this stuff.

[ehilado06]

I want that LIST so I don't get my ass kick

[freehugsbeats]

dude what city is this...would not work in montreal!

[xpconanfan]

Just can't resist showing off the Leica, could you?...

[furlongphoto]

Eric, you're so smiley I can't believe you'd need to give anyone any excuses!

[eeskaatt]

I like the one in 2:05 she's just cool with it :)

[banpreso]

lol i was always worried that you're gonna get your face punched in by the next guy. great effort!

[SpunkeyMonkey]

Haha you're a legend!

[walzuhair]

People in nature are friendly, lying to them by saying "I thought you were a celebrity" can be perceived as sarcasm, which can easily trigger anger.

[gumanow]

You are truly a douchebag and do a dis-service to photography. If you can't be authentic you are screwing it up for the rest of us. Do you have any idea of the work that HCB or DAH or Erwitt?

How old are you, 12?

[gumanow]

You are truly a douchebag and do a dis-service to photography. If you can't be authentic you are screwing it up for the rest of us. Do you have any idea of the work that has preceeded you.

If I see you on the street, and I mean this, if I come to LA, I will personally kick your ass.

[BoxxyFan]

@gumanow Oh shut the fuck up, you old bitter fuck. Your time on this planet is over. Time for a new generation of young photographer to do their thing.

[vincentsvisions]

hahaha this is a awesome concept for street shooting i like it!

[pmgurjar]

That was so cool! I want to do street photography too but I still don't get the daring to go out and shoot people.

[jgda9rs]

fucktard

[andykbh]

HAHA this in SO hillarious

[goldenboi24k]

You rented that M9 correct????

[Obscura26]

Hey Eric, what camera bag are you using in this video? I like it's compact profile.

[aperitiv31]

Great to see that most of the people are kind and cool.

[TINYHUNTERUK]

Really love these videos! Inspiring :)

[rayxu2046]

oh eric, what r u doing... more and more disappointed...

[thecommercialedge]

@rayxu2046 this is the modern generation... not the same as classic street photography any longer, unfortunately.

[hugdeez]

02:32 Noooooo, don't do it! Whew. Thought you were gonna get killed.

[ngso0009]

This shows that human-human interaction isn't that difficult and cynical at all. Hope this video proves something to those people that are overdosed by 'morality'.

[alexq20]

I could never do that!! lol

[KervinTran]

Hilarious Eric!

[ethancfbz]

You got an M9 again! Sweet.

[gamingsensei]

oh Eric...

[mixedupmedia]

So fun and funny!

[WetOct0puS]

its feels like a dare

[TraceurZeno]

lol

Brilliant, very funny indeed!

[pedrito485]

Awesome video!!

[xjac102]

Holy cow, I adore you. (even thought I don't approve the methods, the way you do it is awesome) :P

[peixotoraul]

"I'll do this to a dude, so this will be less ackward" - c'mon it's even more ackward!!!

[androide81]

@peixotoraul maybe he is gay? Not judging at all, just saying, I find the work of this guy pretty awesome! I'm really sorry if I interpreted that "will be less ackward" in the wrong way Erick.

[Ahamster1]

@peixotoraul HAHAH!!

[saavaa]

Nice shirt !!!

[thanassi44]

Haha "Can I get your phone number?... I like you style dude!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
