The riskiest life is the funnest life!

Just taught my first online zoom photography workshop and learned a lot. This is just a stream of some of my personal thoughts and lessons.

(more…)

The master street photography compositionalist (thus far):

(more…)

Don’t go through life not turning over every stone you’re interested in.

Or in other words

Leave no stone unturned!

Making photos; blessing life, existence, and being born and being alive!

Photograph and shoot it all!

Really enjoying the new cross-process JPEG filter on the RICOH GR III.

(more…)

A new photo project you can embark on! Street photography inside grocery stores during COVID-19:

A hypocrite: an actor. Someone who ‘fronts’ or pretends to be something they aren’t.

A contradictor: contra (against) dict (talk).

Thus a hypocrite is a faker, whereas a contradictor is someone who says one thing but engages in behavior that he criticizes others for.

Why is this difference important? Let me explain.

(more…)

Designed for what. Designed for whom?

A thought–

What were you designed for? What ends?

(more…)

Something quite funny for me is this. Asking ourselves —

Who were computers made for and designed for?

Were humans made for computers, or the other way around? This should be the origin of all “ergonomics” research in computing.

Why I love the work of Michelangelo:

(more…)

Why are we trained to NOT trust or obey our instincts ? What’s “rationality” anyways? Why is logic and rationality seem above emotion, bezerk, gut, and instinct ?

Visual gist:

(more…)

My definition of success. Speaking fearlessly, creating fearlessly and sharing fearlessly. Success is the quantum of courage you exhibit, not how others react to you.

Who is your authority ?

Authority, author.

Do you own yourself? Are you the author of yourself and your own life?

Don’t obey any authority but yourself.

(more…)

No. We want to do things. We want challenge, fun, and more.

Be distrustful of anyone (psychologists, philosophers, economics, etc) who say:

The human desire is to do as little as humanly possible, to conserve our energy.

No. We desire to maximally expend our energy! To become more powerful, to gain more, and to indulge more of our desires. To achieve more, create more, and consume more!

(more…)

Because photography is your life!

(more…)

Elevate yourself. Never placate others, only yourself.

The ultimate power— physiological power.

My theories on working on a MacBook laptop:

(more…)

Ab-normal is better.

(more…)

Don’t you desire to level-up in life?

The Body is the Home of the Soul

(more…)

Perfectionism is the enemy.

(more…)

My new fun:

To just do everything in one shot, one take.

(more…)

My ideals and thoughts on male beauty:

(more…)

The best art, philosophy and knowledge is generative meaning —

You generate MORE and you put in MORE into something than you took from it.

(more…)

This is the fuel of your life.

(more…)

A thought:

Why is bodily prostitution is seen as morally depraved, whereas mental prostitution isn’t?

(more…)

How elitism is good:

(more…)

This seems the most ‘rational’ thing to do.

(more…)

Everything originates from our body. Thus the start of all of our philosophical inquires should start with our body, physiology before notions of “psychology”, “soul”, “mind”, etc.

(more…)

What’s your ultimate desire? What are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it or get it?

Beyond money, fame, riches, etc. A deeper desire.

Thought:

Let us think less about lofty philosophical ideals… and instead, just look deep into human desires (whether ‘good’ or ‘bad’).

The first true step in philosophy — radical self-candor and honesty.

(more…)

Don’t watch porn that you wouldn’t watch in public, or have others know you watch.

(more…)

I recently came across a saying:

One drop of semen is worth 10 pints of blood.

For us men, does this mean that jerking off is energy suicide?

(more…)

We want and like searching for forbidden knowledge and forbidden truth! My current interests:

1. Sexual knowledge
2. Physiological knowledge
3. Religious and spiritual knowledge
4. Amorality and ethics

We love and desire the forbidden fruit!

YOU ARE THE END-GOAL. YOU ARE THE END-GAME!

(more…)

Become you.

(more…)

YOUR LIFE IS THE ULTIMATE LIFE-STREAM!

(more…)

In life — ask yourself the question:

Is there anything I’m NOT allowed to do which is getting in the way of my desired outcomes?

(more…)

The Upside of Accuracy in Photography

What’s our end game in life? Simple — art. Arts creation.

What do you gotta do? Just leave your apartment and home, and document your journey!

(more…)

Statues– a good source of artistic inspiration and motivation.

(more…)

Look at more nature… the ultimate visual stimuli.

(more…)

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but not all opinions are of equal worth, weight. There is a hierarchy of opinion.

(more…)

When in doubt, keep moving!

Google Arts and Culture app— my new favorite muse.

(more…)

Why Do People Think Porn is Bad?

(more…)

We want to be happier … but towards what end?

(more…)

What if covid-19 is the best thing we can do for our lives and creativity?

(more…)

In today’s brave new world … with COVID and everything, it seems the only way to thrive is to be brave. And the good thing with bravery — we can actually control how much bravery we exhibit!

(more…)

Right now living in COVID-19, it is almost as if we are living on a spaceship. Let me explain:

(more…)

Why is being wasteful seen as an evil? Some thoughts:

(more…)

Renaissance literally means ‘re-birth’. Thus … perhaps we can use this opportunity as a personal re-birth or re-baptism of our artistic genius!

(more…)

Studying Renaissance art using iPad and Google ‘Arts & Culture’ app. [Download on Google Play, or Apple App Store].

The principle for our digital lives:

Never stop creating, sharing, uploading. Keep the stream flowing!

(more…)

Hyper nutrition. To become bigger, stronger, more!

(more…)

Let this thought be the starting point.

Composition is a Game. Like all games … don’t take it too seriously! Just have fun! :)

The fun joy with shooting layers:

A visual challenge, joy, interest, and game!
