Towards a Philosophy of Aesthetics in Photography

selfie vlog

Question:

What are our ideal aesthetics in photography? Do we want our photos to look as much as ‘real life’ as possible, or ABOVE-REALITY (uber-reality, uber-photography?)

PODCAST

Towards a Philosophy of Aesthetics in Photography

The basic thought:

Perhaps black and white (monochrome) is so good, because it allows us to go BEYOND reality.

  • Short answer: Beef tendon and tripe are not “natural steroids.” They don’t directly raise testosterone. What they do offer: collagen (tendon) for connective‑tissue resilience and a modest hit of protein + micronutrients (tripe) like B‑12, selenium, and zinc—which can help restore testosterone if you’re deficient. Stack them smartly with leucine‑rich protein, vitamin C, heavy lifting, great sleep, and enough dietary fat, and you’ve got a legit, whole‑animal, high‑performance protocol.
