[felixtayo]

[DANNYK678]

@C32347K17732 its a region in the western part of the netherlands isnt it? plus it just sounds waaay cooler than the netherlands

[cscdigitalgraphics]

We all find meaning in coincidence. We all want to find meaning for our own benefit. Good story.

[DANNYK678]

@C32347K17732 why?

[TheThh]

this has to be fake... i want to believe but this is unbeliavable

[brzl4lif3]

@FunkaDunka lol i know my stupid little cuzin wrote tht

[yangboi88]

you know i kinda did the same thing. I lost or dropped my one-time-use camera that has all my pictures in it. I hope someone finds it and do the same!

[jennnymis]

I was in a mellow mood and wanted to find something beautiful on youtube. I suddenly remembered that my friend showed me this video in January, but I'd totally forgotten to see what happened next. It was perfect. I couldn't have stumbled upon a better thought than to check out what you experienced. It made me remember why I love being alive - it made me remember that I love being alive. Thank you so much for being such an inspirator! Tomorrow I'm gonna find a treasure. I'm looking forward to it.

[The1337BBQ]

Great video, and the pictures are really great!

[ricardovnl]

amazing

[fruityes1]

In canada.... snow....

[vanleske]

I'm a dedicated film photographer, and seeing this made me so happy! If I ever lost my film, I'd hope that someone would find it and try and find me... Thank you for regaining my faith in humanity - you made my day/week/year!

[Barbieloocp]

@NgaMcneli haha does it works with twitter,youtube?

[CaseyAUS]

I always get chills when I watch this.

[papibossiklan]

the journey of a thousand miles start with one little step. i'm glad you took that little step and it turned out to be a great adventure not just for you but for the people you saw on your journey, and also the people that watched your video. if you ever find yourself in Jakarta Indonesia. give me a call.

[TheSupasimon]

Wow your a great person.

[vio48]

I just love this story. Its just something awesome to tell your Grandkids when u grow up :)

[ghazisamazing]

o.O

[Freedom544]

Heard it on NPR Radio

[Choechi]

this is so cool ... wonderful you came to Belgium, I'm a belgian, next time you're in europe you have to come and join us at a party or small drink!

[iheartlesbiantunafis]

I saw this on the news.

[ThePixieinlove]

Damn...I want to go on an adventure.

[bloodypepper]

You have such a talent for storytelling. So charming. Write a movie please.

[visamariie]

i've got this video on repeat just to listen to his voice.

[eggsaladxx]

you have such a nice voice

[greedyjr]

AWWWWWWW, you had me convinced. But then I researched further. ah well

[greedyjr]

or Minneapolis...

[Sleyah]

Amazing video! This is what YouTube should be about.

[AdrienneVeronese]

Good job, Todd! Thank you for the wonderful adventure!

[mrjunebuguitar]

just heard this on npr! you are so lucky to have such an experience, i'm really glad you stuck with this

[RiNGER329]

@mrjunebuguitar Same here, heard it on NPR, jumped on youtube and found it! :)

[energyfinance]

@RiNGER329

NPR!! Me too!!

What a cool story.

Creative finder.

What a way to travel....

" hey I found a roll of film too!!"

[DMFmonster]

I am pretty sure the women in the dark 'pigeon/woman' photo is the same one you see walking on the beach - based on the fur collar on her coat.

[energyfinance]

@DMFmonster

Yea, actors.

I smell "a story"

[DMFmonster]

@energyfinance

I am not sure what you are implying, but I was pointing out that the woman who appears in two of the frames actually seems to appear in a third frame.

I know full well that these people are not actors; TIME magazine has an excellent write up of Todd's adventure

[energyfinance]

@DMFmonster TIME magazine!! Wow!! Dude, you are the full-blown reader (under the influence of truth drugs) The story is a fake. Are you twelve years old? Or younger. The story is a story. Get over it. Back to your OWN. She interview him!! Wow!! He is famous. And we are invading Libya to save the people. My God, life must be sweet with your head up your ass, Avoid reality. USA is doomed. Thanks Dumb Mother Fucker. You helped.

[DMFmonster]

@energyfinance

1. And your evidence for it only being a story is?

2. And yes, you are right - by watching this video, I helped the US invade Libya. Except, of course, that never happened. NATO & The League of Arab States, under the mandate of UN resolution 1973, are enforcing a no fly zone over Libya (with restricted strikes on ground targets to prevent in Libyan forces inflicting civilian casualties)

3.So that is twice you've been wrong today

4.Let me know when you find that evidence. kthanx

[greedyjr]

@energyfinance settle down

[energyfinance]

@greedyjr

Yea, I lost it last night.

Not cool at all. Thanks

[opaz79]

fake and gay

[derikschoy]

@opaz79 You're such a close minded twat.

[DMFmonster]

@opaz79

Well, I guess he completely fooled TIME magazine, which reported on the video 2 weeks ago (along with another half dozen news services). But I guess YOU spent many hours researching the background of the maker of this video.... Obviously, YOU are too clever to be fooled!

Number of videos you've posted: 0

Number of people who think you're worth more than a bag of shit: 0

[GuidaOnline]

Hope you find your mystery artists ;)

[kmwiley1]

This was amazing!!!! We live in Germany and had I see this we would have enjoyed meeting you and sharing in your adventure. Maybe on the next one. Thank you for this.

[NewarkGuy]

This is so cool...

[1971ojoalparche1971]

People tell you a lot that the guy at 1:50 looks freakishly like FC Barcelona's forward, Lionel Messi, and he does. He could be his twin brother, and he looks about the right height too.

Anyway, this is a very neat video.

[mangoice4]

this is amazing!

[misterM7MMD]

1:50 dude that's Messi you gotta send the film back to Barcelona xD

[chinx1980]

Dont worry this video will not get lost in the blizzard of youtube videos

[1GXG]

interesting story , i hope you find them , have bothered uploading to vidsharing sites in Europe , but hey! They could be from WISCONSIN !

[ellasrules]

prity gay

[Koolaiddewz]

fucking hipsters....how do they work?

[oneandahalfasians]

to me, its beyond incredible that you found them.

[NiamhElspeth]

This is so cool, i wish i could do this it's like a movie.

[turnofevents1015]

I saw this video the moment it came out by looking at New videos on the YouTube app on my IPhone. The moment I watched it my heart stopped, thinking, ''This is the most unique video I have ever watched.'' Literally my heart stopped beating for a few minutes. And I found this video again today, and it still gives me the chills. Congratulations on finding the owners, I'm so envious of you getting to be on an adventure like this. Thank you for making my year.

[jooshpole]

@turnofevents1015 How long were you in the hospital after your heart stopped for several minutes? I'm surprised you aren't dead, honestly. Maybe if you weren't such a pussy you'd go on a god damned adventure instead of 'getting chills' from a video on youtube about a guy who tracked down the owners of a film canister. "OH! how exciting! If only I could do that!" I hope you die, you fucking scum.

[TheArfdog]

@jooshpole You're angry that someone found something pleasant on the internet? Practicing your internet tough guy persona? LOL what a moron.

[narutolll]

@turnofevents1015 I think you'd be dead if your heart LITERALLY stopped beating for that long...

[coitinsforyourocky]

@turnofevents1015 My sentiments, EXACTLY.......heartwarming story & awesome adventure......I'm kinda envious......

[myTimeOfLife]

I want you to make a video about all of your adventures... everybody is linking to your video, i found it from thriceTV [dot] com

[ladygagaspenis]

i hate your last name, but other than that your pretty cool

[tonysitter]

the "mediocre" picture @1:49 is not mediocre at all.



[mickoco09]

agree with huey , he sounds like a sap! (european word for douchebag or something ;) )

[HadenHughes]

wow this video is getting so popular... I even saw that it was the clip of the day on thriceTV_com

[Natnalexfan96]

thumbs up if Zach Braff brought you here

[11matt11]

Lol Huey. It couldn't be more the opposite. Troll fail.

[hueyrobinson]

That is one pretentious narrator.

[ottergirl25]

I love this story! Todd you have inspired me to procure a film camera and put my digital to the side for a while! And yes, the pictures are very interesting.

[ottergirl25]

I love this story! Todd you have inspired me to procure a film camera and put my digital to the side for a while!

[Paddygormz1991]

I remember when I seen this video with only 5,000 views. Great peice of work on all 3 parts.

[EmilyBatista]

that is called pure faith!

[BestOfInspiration]

This is a great great story. Thank you for sharing. I hope it is o.k. that i have posted it on my blog.

[ydyammo]

"...holiday, which is a European word for vacation..."

I'm at loss for words.

[greedyjr]

@ydyammo indeed.

[neverhoodyn]

Fake. Typical hipster fraud documentary. He 'accidentaly' found the film.

[sucharadder]

adventure buddy (buddies)...thats a good one. Seri--o--usly...but you ever wonder WHY theres even an 'o' in seriously? You never pronounce it though right?

[choonhachat]

@sucharadder i pronounce it.

[MasonGillis]

2:15 he says "so he yelled to her" instead of "So I yelled". That's disappointing. Hopefully this isn't fake.

[walshph33r]

this is such a heartwarming story, i only wish i was you and could have an adenture like this.. it would be the highlight of my life

[YuorDmub]

Tell your cousin Justin he is gay 

[Bethenia252]

bethenia.wordpress (dot) com/2011/02/03/do-something-go­od-with-it/

The phrase that he said "I'm gonna do something good with this money!" reminded me of this blog post I wrote. I don't usually post links, I'm not a spammer, I just thought you might like it.

[OfficiallyFd]

that guy looks like messi

[ryoungjohn85]

remember to restate your main point at the end of the video, something like "I get art."

[mcwong1]

Extraordinary; a wonderful film.

[MC68EC040]

Were all these amazingly well composed pictures in one single roll? That dude's got skills.

[wadad17]

BEST. ADVENTURE. EVER!!!

[11matt11]

This video shows the great potential on youtube. My nominee for best youtube video, ever.

Does anyone know if there's a youtube channel that shows wonderful videos like this? If you have a video like this, please let us know.

[natedejuggla]

@11matt11 bestofyoutubedotcom....you tube won't let me write it with a "." so i have to write it with a "dot" but check it out, three new videos like this are uploaded every day

[11matt11]

@natedejuggla Thanks. I really like your site.

[rhymeandreasoning]

i watched the update video earlier today and call me a pussy but it overwhelmed me so much that i actually CRIED..i did, i cried..the kindess of all the people who helped this guy along the way..made me happy ..super nice !!!!!

[dm2661]

[dm2661]

[noodoo19]

[wendyparr]

Beautiful adventure, beautiful kindness & joy, thank you!

[shendopen]

Extremely inspiring story. Thanks for sharing, but more importantly, thank you for doing what you did. Our world needs more of this, and I believe this story will no doubt inspire more acts like this. Thanks again and God Bless.

[kimrfa]

You give me new faith in humanity. You're story gave me goosebumps. I hope you have more stories. If so, email me I'd love to see them.

I think you've found your calling in videos.

kimrfa@cs.com

[TiagoWazzup]

[kawaii1022]

[nar2nar]

Thumbs up if TIME brought you here!

[yadi8459]

[pni8ac]

He took a big risk developping thoses pictures... imagine if they were pedophile picture, he could be in jail right now for that

[spewker]

I don't know how anyone can dislike this video. Great story, great video. I smell Hollywood.

[february21022010]

The story it's amazing! I wish I had your courage... You are not just kind, you are good! Every person's journey is different, being good has a lot to do with discovering yourself and your role in the world...

[AmiciZionsville]

Todd...as a photographer, I loved your story. And I loved your entire presentation of it. You may not even know this but you have a gift for storytelling. Who doesn't love an adventure added to our everyday lives....wonderful ending:)

[Kousch]

this totally should be made into a movie!!

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Man you are a cool guy, do you love Cats ?

[stevenneufeld]

Well done

[TheGypsysTavern]

up loader has an unfortunate last name

[1980january1]

Todd, you have a really nice narrator's voice and I am glad I ran across your videos on Yahoo. Your talking style is very engaging and your videos rather good, seems you have inspired quite a few to have their own adventure, nice complement, I think. Thanks, you're a cool guy. Steve

[1980january1]

Todd, you have a great talking voice and good video skills and your narration is quite enjoyable to listen to. Seems you have inspired a number of people to have their own adventure, kind of sweet, actually, thanks for all the videos. Steve

[ebuslady]

@1980january1

Great comment. I agree.

[MegaWallace26]

you should have taken the 26 dollars the old woman gave you, and got a monthly pass to a porn website.

Go to antarctica and stay there, hipster.

[biggyshack]

Wow, those are really good-looking photos

Kudos to Camille for taking awesome pics!!! =3

[j3anthony03]

is he freakin connected to JB?

[jamesfidi2benwa]

genius

[oomung]

dont tell me the last name didnt help him to get hits.

i fucking hate justin bieber btw

[keithrocksat41]

Are you related to Justin Beiber? lol Seriously though, great vid!

[BaboMuffin]

Thumbs up if Zach Braff brought you here!

[wdp06TL]

Such a very good reason to go on an adventure like this.

The most adventurous thing I have ever done was finding someone's credit card at a local mall and my mission was to find the person who owns the card. I looked the name up on FB and saw that we had a mutual friend!! Small, small world we have out there. I decided to FB her and told her I would give this to our mutual friend to give back to her. We became FB friends, but never met...

[balloonship]

its funny how some of the comments are telling todd to get a life. i'm pretty sure his life is far more interesting than theirs. i wish someday i can find any reason to go on an adventure like this.

[draco951]

Love the story

[Iheartnihon]

@foodcoupon I thumbs up to the second part of the statement. ^_^

[patroller4u]

attention- whore man looking for 5-minutes of fame, lol. Incredible the things some folks do to get noticed, finding a roll of film with ordinary pictures of ordinary people and going on a quest to find the owner was the best that could happen to this man Bieber in his entire life. Ha, this man must have a very boring, empty life, all the Biebers are kind of weird ? Hmmm....

[ebuslady]

@patroller4u

jealous much???

[jessi1971]

With all the horrible things that are happening in the world these days, what a sweet story to hear

[Sora2314]

How is RickRoll'D related to this?

[pinkmoonmist]

dam i wanna find someone:)

[tehMost1337Lashelle]

@pollysfrogs

Watch 'Amelie' a foreign film, very similar to this mans story.

[milkdud0230]

i want something like this to happen to me...and i know it will.

[1980january1]

@milkdud0230 You are funny, why do YOU want this to happen to YOU?  And you know it will...funny:)

[milkdud0230]

@1980january1 i want an adventure! it would be so cool to meet new people and travel across the world not knowing what to expect!!

[energyfinance]

@milkdud0230

Find a roll.

[MultiDancingstars]

is todd beiber related 2 justin beiber

[1980january1]

@glasseverywhere You know, you were flagged as spam, sadly:(

[1980january1]

@glasseverywhere I pressed the "not spam" for you, hope it helps, but dunno?

[glasseverywhere]

Weird like i will find a roll of film and then go to Paris to give it to the owner... with the economy the way its going and unemployment... get a life and a real one...Have you heard of Fed Ex?

[pollysfrogs]

This would make a great movie. I love this story and how it ended. Perfect!

Thanks for sharing this.

Diana

[mom4810]

I really love this story as well. Its always nice to discover something new and making new friends.

[savethephantom]

I really love this story! I think it's very inspiring. :D

[Noops89]

This is so cool. 

[jeanwearshorts]

wow, i wish i could experience this kind of adventure.

[11matt11]

@jeanwearshorts Just after I graduated from university, on a whim, I begged my brother for his airline points and flew to Asia with only $500 worth of travellers cheques in my pocket after working. I figured I'd see how long I could last. 15 years later I finally came home after living my dream and money in the bank. Last year, I was unofficially voted coolest teacher of the year, again. My old classmates laugh at the 180.

Anyone can have an adventure. Please feel free to write for ideas

[hawc4]

yay! i am so happy it ended well! I hope someone finds your film and the adventure continues! This rocks!

[nickietothet]

I am so glad you found them! What a story, Amazing!

[blkboxer1]

love this.........reassuring that there are truly caring people.............ps...the photos are amazing
