My ethos and aesthetic.

Towards a 90% physical culture. Like the ancient Spartans, let us hugely favor physical culture over mental culture.

Do you have a connection with it or not? Only engage with things you have a personal connection with. For example of traveling, only travel to places that you feel some sort of spiritual …

Music that gets you in the zone!

Learning about human nature from my son Seneca: perhaps we adults also hate the notion of closed doors, or things which are locked and and inaccessible to us.

My ideal for Seneca.

My theory about parenting is that it is training: train their mind, train their physical body, train their musical interest, etc.

In praise of Dropbox. The founders of Dropbox essentially said in their mission statement: What we are striving to do is to promote flow, work ‘flow’, amongst individuals and teams. Also one thing I …

I like this idea of a free trial period, and no commitment in the beginning. And then you decide to pay for it later. The good thing with Paramount+ (HALO).

After deep thinking and consideration, my thought is perhaps for Web 4.0 we’ll go back to basics, that is blogging.

Just like how I own (thank you Cindy) erickim.com

All my really smart friends seem to eventually work for Google and settle there. Also note that if something is on Google, it is “truth”. Let us also consider, people aren’t going to stop …

Our ethos to our photography:

Assuming the future is up-market, or ultra high end … Amazon might fail. Amazon is racing to the bottom (just like Walmart) for low prices. Now that Jeff Bezos has peaced out of the …

As opposed to the “real” world.

This is the world we are currently living in.

Kill two birds with one stone.

We know that skate parks are good, also, lots of fun to bring your kid to a skate park. Why not also invent photo parks?

If you’re a homebody, you’re a domesticated herd animal. If you prefer to be out in the real world and “fuck shit up”, consider yourself a wild predator.

As much as I love laptops, and my laptop, the big problem with laptops is this: you are forced to be static. What are the alternatives? Walking around and being mobile with your iPhone, …

As a photographer how you decide to divvy up and compose your frame — this is all a design decision. Perhaps we photographers can gain more from studying design and designers, than photography?

Design rules everything around me. If you ever leave the house, or decide to stay at home all day … everything about existence and embodied reality deals with design.

Perhaps it is good to not have a good memory — to not let the past actions and prejudices of others affect how you treat them.

From a design perspective, perhaps what we’re looking for is a new silhouette. For example our joy on the silhouette of the new Cybertruck, and the silhouette of the Yeezy 350 sneakers.

My design ideal — to become more aggressive. DESIGN THOUGHTS COMPROMISE DESIGN.‘WASTEFUL’? Tight vs Loose Thick vs Thin Why Lamborghini is No Longer Interesting to Me DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS AN ETHOS. LESS SURFACE AREA. …

What we eat or how we eat might be the most important thing.

My parenting mantra and approach. Simple thought — charge your phone in a separate room when you’re engaging and playing with your kid.

Black as a dominating aesthetic.

Towards the ultimate non-boring life.

Sickness (every once in a while) is good unto our health.

Seneca loves doorways. Not being inside or outside, but in-between.

Further mediocrity. Boringness. Further passivity from media. Further dumbing down and standardization for our kids.

We can create photos faster than we can think?

“Be greedy when others are fearful” -Warren Buffet Or in other words, this is your chance and opportunity to buy and hoard more Bitcoin.

I’ve been blogging ever since I was 15 years old. I consider myself the blogging GOAT, the greatest blogger of all time. In fact, I even started blogging before I started pursuing photography. Therefore …

“Richard Millie cost a Lambo” – Meek Mill Very interesting to read the history and ethos behind Richard Mille— the notion of an “ultra high end” segment within the already high-end segment. Nota Bene: …

I would never want anyone to pity my son. Therefore, do not pity others. Pity is actually an emotion in which you look down on others, and see them as helpless weaklings.

We often talk about social media, media, media as films and television, etc. But how come we never think about photography as another form of media?

PODCAST Some thing I find very interesting: how crypto.com has been killing it, especially with all their media sponsorships and co-branding. For example, the fact that they bought the naming rights to the staple …

Don’t just be trapped in “playgrounds”, thinking that a playground is the only place to play.

Perhaps in order to do more and achieve more in life, reduce your given compass in life.

Don’t commute. Don’t spend any time in a car. Only walking, thinking, working out, garage entrepreneurship, thinking locally, no travel.

Our blogging ethos.

Mando shouldn’t have shown his face, Boba Fett shouldn’t have shown his face, Darth Vader wouldn’t have shown his face, the STIG should never show his face, and Master Chief should never show his …

It’s impossible to know how you will feel tomorrow— whether you wake up sick, having slept horribly, or your mood or outlook is different tomorrow. Every night go to sleep like a mini death; …

It’s just a dosage thing.

Why thank people, and if you thank them, and they hear you, but don’t acknowledge your thanks … why does this ignite inner-indignation? Perhaps when we thank people, we are just subjugating them under …
