Making photos is (one) of my great passions!
-
What do we want from life?
Challenge and danger?
-
Economic Thoughts
Become less frugal, more profligate.
Become more wasteful, more extravagant?
-
Upgrade your food, not your phone
When you have the chance, grass fed beef. Also, pastured eggs over the normal stuff, like Nellies eggs.
Theory; you’ll derive more physiological energy and power from higher nutrition density foods.
-
Life is too short for efficiency or economy
For example, life is too short to just drive a Toyota Corolla or Prius. Or drive anything which is standard.
-
I just want to do things as I please
Without being monitored, policed, etc.
-
How to consume more?
Consume more energy, food, resources?
-

iPhone Photos are Not Bad!
Some with iPhone camera built in black and white noir mode with “rich contrast†photo style applied on iPhone SE and flash, some photos under exposed by -1.5-2 exposure. Also some post processed more after the fact with more contrast, lower brightness, higher black point.
Some with provoke camera app. Some with flash and some without.



RICOH GR IIIX / Seneca at Apple Store RICOH GR IIIX photos still as waaaay better — but just messing around on iPhone because my Ricoh died.

iPhone SE x Provoke Camera x Flash is Great!






Ricoh GR IIIX went kaput — time to experiment more with iPhone and flash?

WHY I’M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT FITNESS
No fitness, no life.

6 PLATE FLOOR BENCH PRESS ERIC KIM UNORTHODOX LIFTS // POWERLIFTING HYPELIFTING 2.0






















My passion for fitness:
-
735 POUNDS RACK PULL 7 PLATES, 25, 5 // ERIC KIM UNORTHODOX LIFTS POWERLIFTING 2.0 DEADLIFT ALT














Maximum muscular engagement in the traps and beyond:
-
Maximum Engagement?
Perhaps the path to the greatest life is the life with the maximum amount of engagement?
Part– muscular engagement (powerlifting 2.0).
Also with entrepreneurship– maximum engagement in what you’re doing (something you care to do?)
With creative work, maximum engagement– to be insanely in the zone of what you do?
-
iPhone Sucks
Too unreliable, crashes often, too many bugs, etc. Also too expensive, doesn’t last long.

MacBook Air M2 … feels flimsy and cheap compared to the M1 MacBook Air?

HOW TO BECOME MORE SPARTAN IN MODERN DAY LIFE
First, insanely extreme weight lifting. One rep max style.
Second– more focus on physical culture?
Also more time in the outdoors, or just outside?
Do that which you are afraid of.
Also, less interest in cars, homes, things? More interest in food (meat, beef), and a lust to conquer, and battle.
-
Winning is the only thing which matters
For example in StarCraft, it doesn’t matter how “cheeseâ€, or “noob†your strategy is, like rushing zealots, or rushing air with Protoss. All which matters is whether you win or not.
-

The best way to put on more muscle
One rep max style lifting, insanely heavy weights, get your testosterone and adrenaline up. In the evening, strive to eat at least 4 pounds of beef a night.
The best lifts include atlas lift/ERIC KIM lift, rack pulls, as well as floor bench press. Aim for at least five, six, seven, eight plates and beyond.





-
Nobody cares for the lightweight, just become the heavyweight
For example, ultimately nobody cares for the lightweight boxers or in the UFC fighters— we only care for the heavyweights, the most powerful, the most supreme, regardless of weight or class.
-
Adding a gritty grainy function to iPhone camera?
This can make it the Ricoh GR killer. The closest thing is the provoke camera app, but it is to buggy, and not built in native to the iPhone.
-
The Physics of Light
My renewed interest in flash and cameras.
-
Exploring and discovering the furthest limits of photography?
LiDAR + iPhone Pro
-
New physical challenges?
As a child, your life is replete with physical challenges. For example, learning how to sit, then learning how to stand, then learning to walk, learning to balance, and traversing uneven terrain.
However once you become an adult, it seems that no more physical challenges exist.
Perhaps why the ancient Greeks and the ancient Spartans were so into combat, battle and war, is because there is a primal joy of physical challenges and conquest?
