Zen street photography?

How far can you take it working out at the park?

Art and artwork is a great stimulus for the brain

And try to take it out on you?

For example, some people say that you never “need“ more than the minimum amount of storage, or more than the minimum internet speeds … but they don’t know you and they’re also foolish and unwise and don’t know anything?

Extra buffer? Insanely epic mega buffer?

Power?

Another contrary thought: maybe capturing the photo, the moment … or just shooting more is supreme!

Apex buffness?

Or at least don’t respond to it!

Not all pride is made alike.

Art matters for lots of different reasons. One reason is that ultimately, it looks like all of our aesthetic interests with objects, consumer things, consumers things etc. is rooted in some sort of art.

The second thing is that perhaps, the ultimate end towards humans, and humanity is to produce art!

RICHARD MILLE

Ever since my Ricoh GR 3X has died, I’ve been experimenting a lot with different camera setups. One of them is simple: just using the old Lumix G9 I had lying around, using the Lumix Leica 12mm F1.4 lens, and more recently, getting this really great tiny pancake Lumix 14 mm F2.5 lens.

Beauty

First and foremost, I think our primary preoccupation as photographer-artists is to create beautiful photos.

I never really thought it would make a difference, but switching from the Leica Lumix 12 mm F1.4 lens to the Lumix 14mm f2.5 lens, I could actually see an insanely huge difference. Things I noticed:

The first huge obvious difference is that the Lumix 14 mm F2.5 lens photos, in terms of shooting portraits, up close portraits of Seneca, the photos are aesthetically a lot uglier. It is almost too rough, too grainy, too gritty. Also something about the out of focus bokeh effect, is really ugly on the F2.5 lens.

Another thing is that the colors, when shooting color photos, intelligent auto mode on the F2.5 lens, the colors look really off and ugly. Something I didn’t think too much about, but if you shoot intelligent auto JPEG mode, straight up on the Lumix G9 with the Lumix 12 mm F1.4 lens, the photos look insanely perfect. The colors are true to life, vibrant, and beautiful.

Photo dissonance

Another huge shocking factor is that when I saw all of these photos that I shot of Seneca, with the new 14 mm F2.5 lens, of Seneca, I had some sort of visual, photo dissonance, which means that I almost didn’t recognize the photos of Seneca.

Then my simple thought: maybe I should just keep the Lumix G9 permanently paired with the 14 mm F1 .4 lens, and just use it as a portrait art camera, and then figure out a more pocketful portable solution for street photography of strangers in public? or just maybe use an iPhone for street photography of strangers in public and urban landscapes?

PODCAST
