FREE MOTIVATION ON ERIC KIM NEWSLETTER >
Dear friend,
In today’s topsy turvy world, being optimistic is hard. But my happy thought is this:
The future world will continue to exist, and you will continue to thrive as a photographer.
Just imagine —
What new photos have you yet photographed?
A simple formula
This is the basic idea:
You have MORE excitement for future photos and experience you have yet experienced, while also still having gratitude for your past events, memories, and photos.
In practical terms:
Spend much time looking at your old photos to re-experience the positive past memories but also spending today to shoot new photos, and also planning for exciting new photo adventures in the future!

- Photographers Are Artists; Artists Are Photographers
You’re a creative photographer
To level-up your creativity, it seems wise to study more composition and geometry.
Many fun activities you can do like:
- Apply fun filters to your photos (like chromatic aberration).
- Focus on improving your visual acuity
- Cross-pollinate between mathematics, geometry and photography. Archimedes as my new muse.
