- One camera, one lens (RICOH GR III)
- Monochrome (one color). Or for color photography, keeping the colors super simple.
- JPEG only
- Direct, honest, and genuine photos. Only photographing what you’re interested in or care about.
- No metrics for your photos. Sharing your photos on your website or blog. No social media.
- Enjoying the perpetual process of improving your photography. No finality, or no perfect state. Continually making new photos, and striving for more.
- Photography as giving you calm strength, an invigorated calm, and a strong purpose of living and life.
ZEN PHOTO IDEAS:
- Simple compositions. Simpler is better. Simple and elegant is the goal.
- Impute your soul into your images. Only photograph what you care about.
- Make photos to reflect on the transitoriness of life, yet delight in the fact that we are alive now!
