Let us assume you are financially independent, location independent, nomadic, rich, and whatever form of success.

Now the question is:

How should I live my life? How should I direct my life-force-energy?

My simple thought:

Perhaps the end-game is for us to focus on creating our artwork [photography and beyond]!

Continue to surprise yourself through your photography

My goal with photography: create a beautiful and sublime mood, in which you disappear into the photographs.

Why art?

Your artwork has the ability to last a very long time. You will die.

Thus, perhaps the ideal strategy is to transfer our life-force energy into our art-works?

Artistic out-pression

The joy of the photographer-artist:

To re-arrange reality in novel new ways. The delight in surprising yourself. Artistic creation as a form of play.

The hunger for more

What drives us as photographers and artists?

The desire to experience more, to see more, to witness more, to observe more in order to photograph more, to look through more of our photos, and to strive to create more.

The end-game:

Evolve your photography and artistic self-expression to a new level. Strive with all your might in life to reach your personal apex.
