It doesn’t matter if it’s already been photographed before! Photograph it again, and again, and again!

Towards an eternal recurrence in photography:

“There is nothing worth thinking but it has been thought before; we must only try to think it again.” – Maxims and Reflections by Goethe

All subject matter has been shot before. But it doesn’t matter. Photograph it again and again and again, with no satiety, disgust, or boredom!

Originality is overrated in photography

Don’t worry too much about artistic or subject-matter innovation in photography. Ultimately the themes are all similar in photography and art:

  1. Human beings
  2. Humanity, cities, urban environments
  3. Nature (landscapes, plants, trees, flowers, etc).

Shoot your selfie

There’s never been you. If you really want a unique subject matter, just shoot your selfie!

Discover the truth for yourself

This is what makes philosophy, life and art so fun:

Tackle the same basic questions that all other thinkers and questioners have made in the past, but do it your own way!

Same in photography. Just keep shooting your own life, and make beautiful art!
