5 Reasons Why to Shoot With Your Phone

Dear friend,

Shoot more with your phone. Why? Some ideas:

1. The more you shoot, the happier you will be!

To me, we are the happiest when we are creating. When you make photos, you’re creating pictures.

Thus, shoot more with your phone to create more pictures!

2. No friction

What holds us back from making photos? Friction. The friction of carrying a heavy camera, or the friction of leaving the house (with a heavy or burdensome camera).

For most of us, our phone is always with us. Thus our camera is always with us.

A fun idea:

Don’t call it a phone; call it a camera that can make phone calls.

Cindy gave me an idea, the next time you upgrade or buy a new phone, just think of it like you’re buying a new camera with calling functions.

Therefore when you buy a new mobile device, first optimize for the camera; phone second.

3. Discover more beauty around you

A simple idea: to be happier in life, walk more. Go on more walks around the block with your phone and shoot photos of whatever puts a smile on your face.
