MONOCHROME INNOVATION.

The thought on my mind:

How much innovation has *yet* been done in monochrome?

Beyond all black everything

This is where the designer Alexander Wang is so interesting — his ability to innovate within black for so long.

Can you go darker?

Exposure compensation (low key), going as dark as possible. How dark can you make your photos, while still having something you can see and perceive?

  • 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.
