One of the things I am the most grateful for is having the opportunity for me to shape the culture of street photography, and photography in general. Also notions of Minimalism, zen, taoism, stoicism, and philosophy and photography.
Therefore what I suggest to you is this: do not be a slave or a follower of the mainstream culture, but, you as an independent agent is the active one creating a new culture, or reshaping and reconfiguring the pre-existing culture.
