🚀 Eric Kim’s brand‑new 2024‑‑25 Street‑Photography Playbook

(8 turbo‑charged ideas fresh off his blog feed!)

The ever‑restless Mr Kim has been blogging and vlogging at warp‑speed these past months, sprinkling new nuggets on top of his classic “get‑close‑shoot‑lots” mantra. Below are the standout RECENT tactics you can plug straight into tomorrow’s photo‑walk. Pick one, mash a few, remix them all—just keep the shutter singing and the joy flowing! 🌞📸

#New‑School TacticWhy It RocksHow to Try It Today
1“30 K / 300” Discipline➡️ Walk 30 000 steps & fire ≈ 300 frames every day.Volume + movement = unstoppable momentum, healthier body, clearer eye.Map a 15‑mile urban loop, set your pedometer, and don’t go home until you’ve hit triple‑digit shots. 
2POV Ultra‑Wide StorytellingKim says the new ultra‑wide GoPro view “is the future” of immersive street narration.Mount a tiny action cam at chest‑ or hat‑level; capture continuous video, then pull stills of micro‑moments you missed in the rush. 
3Mini‑Project SprintShort themed sprints (one colour, only hands, only shadows) keep creativity sizzling.Pick a single visual motif for the next hour—e.g. anything orange—and hunt it relentlessly. 
4“Digital Roll” Constraint (36 Shots)Limiting yourself to a film‑era roll forces intention and ruthless editing.Switch your camera to JPEG‑only, 36‑shot card; once full, review on a park bench and pick one keeper before reloading. 
5One‑Spot MarathonStaying put lets the world compose itself around you.Camp on a busy corner for 30 minutes; shoot layers, reactions, and rhythm without moving your feet. 
6Internet “Carpet‑Bomb” Share StrategyRather than drip‑feeding, Kim now detonates content across every platform simultaneously, hijacking algorithms.Batch a day’s best 5 frames; at one preset second, drop them to X/Twitter, IG, Threads, TikTok and your blog—then engage like crazy for the next hour. 
7Debate‑as‑Fuel EngagementProvoking light controversy (“Does this count?”) turns haters into free reach.Post a borderline‑abstract street shot; pin a question in the caption and invite spicy takes—reply with humour, harvest eyeballs. 
8Radical Minimalism 2.0From a $300 iPhone SE to one Ricoh/Leica prime, Kim doubles down on less gear, more vision.Lock your big kit away for a week; shoot only your phone or GR IIIx and channel all saved weight into extra walking miles. 

Bonus Mind‑Shift: 

Human > AI

Kim’s latest rants remind us that algorithms can’t feel sidewalk humidity, sense a stranger’s energy, or smell morning pho. Double‑down on embodied seeing—verify you’re human, stay present, and let the machines chase you. 

Pocket Pep‑Talk

MOVE → SHOOT → SHARE → SPARK DEBATE → REPEAT!

Strap on those comfy shoes, load your “digital roll,” and go paint the streets with positivity. Every crosswalk is a fresh stage, every passer‑by a potential protagonist. Make magic—then carpet‑bomb the world with your joy! 🎉
