Tandem Photography
Stay in tandem with your photography: perhaps it is wise that on a daily basis, you quickly shoot (extra small JPEG, high contrast black and white filter on Ricoh GR IIIX), while also quickly …

Any car which requires maintenance, oil changes, car washes, black cars, etc. are bad.
The joy of moving things
Taken literally, or metaphorically.
Parking lots are zen?
A funny thought: when I’m in the middle of a huge concrete open air parking lot, it feels very Zen. Why? Maybe the sense of possibility, in the feeling of not being restricted or …
Product Photography
Not the product photography in the sense of doing fancy product photos to sell an item, but instead, just photograph the products you engage with every single day.

If one wants to smoke, it should only be inside ones home.

I’m like Mando and Seneca is like my baby Yoda.
Just funnel all of your fiat currency into cryptocurrency

Opt for that which is less predictable
The less predictable your life, the better. Crypto currency. Travel.

When things don’t work out the way you wanted today, you could always try tomorrow.
The Best Tesla

The Ideal Diet for Entrepreneurs
What is the ideal diet for entrepreneurs? I think I got it figured out. I believe the ideal diet for an entrepreneur is: ‘Ketogenic‘ diet Intermittent fasting (no breakfast, no lunch, only a big-ass …
THE ESPRESSO MACHINE
The espresso machine as an integral part of the entrepreneur’s toolkit. Perhaps more important than your phone, laptop, camera, etc.
