To plan ahead, even with working out is fragile. Why? Impossible to know how you will feel tomorrow.

If you’re curious about what Mazatlan, Mexico looks like (CRUISE Carnival destination, for the 7 day Panorama cruise): Typically, the grittier and more ‘low key’ the city, the better it is for street photography:

Desiring to monetize things (unnecessarily) is a sign of lack of self-confidence? It is fine to monetize your passion, but for random stuff (like YouTube, social media, etc): you don’t need to monetize it.

CRUISE LIFE as better than the ‘van life’, etc:

Make beautiful advertisements, which can just be timeless (‘evergreen’) art works? My aspiration for advertising my workshops.

A simple theory on photography: All your photos are a stream of your own self-becoming. What does this mean? It ain’t about any individual single image … it is about the continuum of your …

For example, self-hosted email newsletter (sendy.co), self hosted website/blog (WordPress.org).

My only goal in life: To have insanely robust health, in order to think the most epic and lofty turbo thoughts, to share them with others, and to elevate myself to another level (becoming …

“Give them what they need, it may not be what they want” (KANYE WEST / YEEZUS ALBUM)

Cruise, water vibes: The zen of water:

More fun to shot on a GoPro, import the videos to your laptop, and screenshot them and share them with friends and family.

Simple: Register your own website (bluehost.com, start paying for the most basic self-hosted website plan, and install WordPress.org). When you register your own website domain, select a .com domain, ideally your firstnamelastname.com. If not, …

In today’s world, the best way to exhibit courage is via negativa. What you decide *NOT* to do, *NOT* to say, or what you decide to get rid of or subtract.

ERIC KIM IN THE ZONE:

A simple thought on media and art: Just keep it flowing! For example, keep making photos and keep sending them to people you care for.

A thought: When it comes to music, art, vocals, songs, rapping, etc — it doesn’t need to be legible (have clear words, etc). For example, DONDA 2 (HAPPY with KANYE/FUTURE) is very ‘illegible’ in …

If I’m in the zone, don’t fuck with my vibes and zen zone focus and flow.

I’ve been shooting more videos lately, and have been having a lot of fun with them. But the downside: Videos are slow.

Start off by respecting yourself, then everyone else will follow.

A simple workflow idea: Just upload it to your blog, post it as a blog post, or upload the videos to YouTube or send the videos to your family. When you’re done, just delete …

Wise words from my 7 year old niece Lily.

To do things differently, to think things anew. To attempt new processes, to think in new ways. Innovations are good. Sociology is all about societal innovations, new modes of living, and also new modes …

Espresso, faster websites, faster internet Wi-Fi (fiber) and 5G. Uglier, but faster.

Smaller file sizes. Extra small jpeg. Smallest video resolution — 720p, only 30 or 60 fps. Ideally shoot in 720p, 60fps. If not, 1080p at 30fps, and maybe downsize and resize to 720p at …

Dear friends, Just fresh out of a 7 day cruise (7-day cruise to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo — via Carnival ‘Panorama’ new cruise ship from 2019). Some photo epiphanies: 1. Good for photography My …

Sendy.co: probably at least 1000x times cheaper than Mailchimp, and simpler, more direct. I write email newsletters in IA WRITER (Markdown) and copy as HTML. Setting up a self-hosted email service with Sendy is …

Whenever you screenshot something, it is a creative act.

GoPro Hero 10 very fun to shoot at the gym (1080p, ultra wide super wide view, 60fps):

Anticross crossover. Crossover cars are not very attractive, and don’t do anything really that well. Crossover cameras suck.

If you want to make more photos, going on a cruise is good. Photos on the ship, photos on land, etc:

The stronger have a duty to the weaker. For example, if you go hiking, ethically because bicycles are more powerful than pedestrians, mountain bikers should put a bell on their bicycles.

Being on a cruise ship for seven days, was great, with all your basic needs met, and not having to think about feeding yourself and cleaning. Yet, the upside of being on land is …

You live a far more dynamic life. Getting off the port, walking around, exploring, taking photos. The 7 day carnival cruise to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo was actually really fun and interesting! A …

Only buy the best, most expensive you can afford. The best way to be “sustainable”.

To accept things as sub-optimal, and won’t get better .. and to accept “not the best”— perhaps this is the best road to extracting the maximum out of life and existence? The purpose of …

Good for a day trip!

The goal you can actually achieve on your own!

Less equipment makes you more connected to the ground, more focused, less distracted, stronger.
