ERIC KIM Lightroom CC Presets (High Contrast) 2019

I made some new High Contrast Lightroom CC (Creative Cloud) presets: this time high-contrast to be applied to my RICOH GR III (high contrast JPEG photos) in order to add even more contrast.

These should work quite well for JPEG monochrome images. I have yet test them on RAW images, but check them out and play with them, remix them, and give them a go:

The Impulse to Photograph

Something which interests me:

What motivates us to photograph?

Meaning:

  1. What is the initial impulse which motivates us to photograph something?
  2. Are there more optimal conditions to photograph?
  3. How do we determine what (or what not) to photograph?
  4. How do we determine how many photos of a certain scene to photograph?
  5. Why photograph?

Practical thoughts:

What I Truly Desire

What I truly desire in my life:

  1. Get stronger (physically): Desire to increase my “one rep max” in all my lifts.
  2. Getting more muscular: Continue to build my muscle mass while keeping my body fat percentage under 10%.
  3. Making great products which inspire, motivate, and empower artists, creators, and photographers (HAPTIC INDUSTRIES).
  4. Never running out of motivation and inspiration to make new art.
  5. Discover new levels and depths of truth (philosophical “truthiness”).
  6. Living to 120-140 years old with “hyper health”.

What’s interesting about these things: they are 100% dependent on myself. Perhaps this are the best life goals to have? To battle with physics, time, and effort/willpower instead of public opinion.
