LifeShare

We share our cars (Uber, Lyft), we share our homes (Airbnb)â€” why not share our lives with others? For example more co-op communal living with friends, borrowing one anotherâ€™s cars, going grocery shopping for others, sharing points with one another. Isnâ€™t this a far more fun, effective and meaningful way to live?
Photograph Your Family

Family photography– one of the most under-rated genres and approaches in photography.

And yes, to photograph your family is legitimate. And disregard the notion:

If I want to be regarded as a ‘serious’ photographer, I cannot shoot my own family members.

Note the success of photographer Sally Mann and her family photos. Your family is art.

MONOCHROME VISION

My passion: monochrome.

What is Success in Photography?

My thought on what makes a successful photographer:

An individual who retains his/her own pure child-like vision and childlike enthusiasm for photography, and to shoot without any concern for the external world.

A photographer who only shoots for his/her own internal world.
(more…)
EXTREME VISION

Success as a photographer and photography entrepreneur:

Have an extreme vision — which is so radically bold and ‘insane’, but interesting and starkly different (extreme differentiation) from the herd!
(more…)
EXTREME DIFFERENTIATION
To make a name for yourself, it is simple:

Strive to become as extremely different from others as possible.

For example, the success of CYBERTRUCK. Or having an extreme vision.

It is impossible to stand out if you’re just a clone or an iteration of other things and people. Thus it seems that ‘creative isolation‘ is quite useful, and seek more inspiration from the classics and the past, than the modern and trendy.

Never stop shooting:

Sociology of Comparison
This means:

No matter what, everything in society, life, money, things, happiness and stuff is ALWAYS in comparison to others socially.

SOCIOLOGY by KIM
Sociological Theory
Photography and Sociology
Being Different for the Sake of Being Different?
Typically my pride has been:

I do not want to be like anyone else.

My pride —

Not to wear the same things others wore, not to rock the same brands others rocked, and to sort of become an ‘elitist’ through minimalism, simplicity, and just following my own zen–stoic mind.

Certainly this is a partly vain pursuit — you always compare your uniqueness in comparison to others. But my realization:

No matter how much we would like to think, we are social creatures (sociology of comparison) which means — we will inevitably ALWAYS compare everything when it comes to social matters.

So what are we to do about this? I say just accept it, and perhaps do simple things:
1. Drive a different car for the sake of driving a different car
2. Use a different phone from others for the sake of it
3. Use different tools, apps, and productivity apps for the sake of it
4. With clothes, shoes, and fashion matters– despise having the same brands, outfits, or concepts as others (strive for extreme differentiation here).
5. With music, art works, and other aesthetic matters — seek inspiration from the past, or from the obscure which you love.

The Photographer as Creator
You’re not just a photographer– you’re a creator. When you make photos, you create *BEYOND* yourself. This means:

You take embodied reality, and make something new, fuller, and more interesting with your photos!

Indifference to Pain or Suffering
In life, we will experience much pain and suffering. What is the best way to approach this?

Know it is part of the game — and become more indifferent towards your personal pain and suffering, and the only time to address it is in order to *NOT* keep yourself in a disadvantageous situation.

For example, let us say you are in an abusive relationship. You will experience much pain and suffering. The smart thing — channel the pain and suffering as an intelligent signal to *GET OUT* of that relationship, no matter what. But once you’re out of the relationship and you think about the past pain and suffering, rather than feel bitter resentment (like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies) — best to just feel indifferent towards your past suffering.

What has happened has happened and the only intelligent thing to do is move forward.

Work through the pain, and fix the pain.
Let us say you get an injury– whether physical or mental. Then the goal:

Figure out what your injury is, and figure out how to ‘rehab’ it — via active physical therapy or mental therapy.

For example if you get some sort of injuries in your joints– figure out how to do active therapy (yoga, stretching, and active dynamic strengthening exercises), and then —

After rehab, you will become *STRONGER* than you were before the injury.

Like Nietzsche said:

What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

In our words:

That which has injured me or hurt me in the past can be a positive stimulus to help me focus on becoming *STRONGER* than I was before the injury!

Create *BEYOND* Yourself
FREE MOTIVATION ON ERIC KIM NEWSLETTER >

Dear friend,

Upon much deep thought and philosophizing — I think I got it figured out when it comes to artistic and creative matters:

Create BEYOND yourself.

What does this mean? This means:

Our lives are limited and short â€¦ and thus â€¦ the goal of life is to augment ourselves in order to create beyond ourselves.

For example with materialistic matters– there is only so much equipment and gear we need. Once we have the ‘best’ tools for artistic creationâ€¦ then what? It isn’t to enjoy these things for the sake of it. It is channeling and harnessing these tools in order to create things. To share things. To publish things.

This is the great upside of online publishing (especially to your own self-hosted blog or website). No gate-keepers. Nobody stopping you but you.

How to create and share beyond yourself today:
1. Create your own website/blog. Easiest is wordpress.com, then next is wordpress.org (self-hosted website blog on bluehost.com).
2. Once you have your own website blog, publish fearlessly.
3. Realize that everything is a work in progress. This means publish BEFORE things are ready. We seem to be fascinated by rough drafts from famous writers, or even sketches of famous painters (the working sketches BEFORE the final product). Thus think — one day future scholars will find fascination with you sharing your works in publish.
4. Just make it ‘80% good enough‘ and hit publish. This means to ‘satisfice‘ (satisfy + suffice) the ‘minimum viable’ concept.
5. The more you publish, the more creative and fearless you will become.

My personal impetus behind HAPTIC INDUSTRIES and everything I create here:

To create awesome, epic, and hugely practical things (which have been of huge use to me) and sharing them with others — knowing that there will be a small group of people who will also find it hugely useful, practical and life-enhancing and life-invigorating!

For example, being a photographer– creating the ideal and perfect tools *I* wish I had access to. Creating what I desire to see manifested in the embodied world.

On Becoming an Arts Photographer
When it comes to photography, there seems to be two types of photography:
1. The first type of photography is more factual and depictual, which is photographing your car parking spot, or photographing your receipts for an expense report.
2. Then the other category is arts creation, in which we use the camera as an artistic tool and medium, to create artworks. Us as photographers, our goal is to create art works with our photography.
Thus, donâ€™t photograph things as they are, rather, photograph things as you feel them and experience them (personal photography).

Let Your Curiosity Drive Your Photography
The photographer Garry Winogrand one said, â€œI photograph to see what the world looks photographed.â€

Perhaps the same philosophy in our photography is good, that is, to photograph things truly because we are curious how it will turn out. This childlike curiosity as the primum mobile, or the first motivator to our photography.

The Simplest Creative Workflow
Simpler is better and more productive. The more you can simplify and streamline your workflow, with creative artistic matters, means more output and creative flourishing. Perhaps the more streamlined and simpler artistic lifestyle, and artistic techniques, the happier and more fully realized we can and will become.

For example, using iPhone as a creative tool not phone. Procreate, Zen Brush 2, and other arts creation applications. Or blogging from the phone â€” another creativity productivity hack.

Also with videos, when integrating it on your blog, best to just make it auto play on mute and loop.

Or not concerning yourself with formatting blog posts and making things look pretty. Rather, focusing on just creating it, writing it and sharing it and publishing it and getting it out there.

Iâ€™ve also discovered that voice dictation on the iPhone is one of the quickest and most effective ways to write, far faster than texting with your two thumbs. In other words, the data output of voices and speech is at least 100x compared to that of typing on your thumbs. Also, our voices and out lungs and our throats are stronger than the carpal tunnel in our thumbs.

MAXIMUM STREAMLINE.

The more you can simplify and streamline your life process, the better.

The best fashion as highly functional and streamlined. For example, the benefit of merino wool â€” streamlined living (the best material irregardless of weather conditions). Or military requirement being forest green â€” shows the least amount of dirt and grime when it gets dirty in the field.

Or with packing and putting away clothes â€” not to seek the â€œbestâ€ setup or the most â€œminimalâ€ (often making things more minimal actually makes things more complicated)â€” just do what is easiest and most streamlined (often the best solution after moving is just quickly and efficiently stuffing things into drawers).

The upside of wearing the same all black outfit everyday (Steve Jobs, Mark Z idea)â€” streamline the clothes to maximize the artistic and creative output.

Or espresso over pour overs â€” far faster and more streamlined to make a good coffee in the morning.

Or the upside of having less square footage in your home â€” more streamlined process to find and get stuff and do stuff.

Also with creative workflow (one camera, one lens, preferably and uninterchangeable lens) to streamline your creative process and output.

High range electric cars â€” no need for frictionful oil changes or car maintenance stuff. If you have a charger at home, less time for gas station pit stops.

Or perhaps the upside of wearing crocs or flip-flops or sandals, the ability for you to leave the house without putting on cumbersome socks or having to tie shoes.

Or the upside of just working out with the kettlebell at home. The ultimate streamlined workout without having to leave the house or enter into a gym.
SUPREME SIMPLICITY.

We are seeking the supreme simplicity in life, design and aesthetics. But once you achieve supreme simplicity in all domains in your life â€¦ then what?

Then the next goal:

Create *BEYOND* yourself.

How to Streamline Your Photography Workflow
The goal is the most streamlined photographic workflow. Simple ideas:
1. Just shoot small JPEG (faster buffer speeds, faster time to upload your files, fewer issues with storage space)
2. Use a preset or filter while you’re shooting in JPEG (for example, high contrast monochrome mode or cross process mode on RICOH GR III). This reduces time when it comes to post-processing. If you decide to shoot RAW, just use presets in Lightroom (FREE ERIC KIM PRESETS)
3. When sharing your photos, upload and share/publish them to your own blog (self-hosted, WordPress.org) and try using the ‘Tiled Gallery’ function to best publish and share your work.
4. When reviewing your photos, use the simplest and fastest software possible (for example I like Apple Photos on my laptop, faaaar faster than Lightroom Classic). If you decide to use Lightroom, I recommend the new Lightroom CC (much faster to review photos).
5. When it comes to any photo matters ask yourself: “Is this going to streamline and *SIMPLIFY* and speed up my workflow, or will it complexify and make it slower and more burdensome?” For example, more megapixels, more problems.
(more…)
Speed is Paramount

â€œThe service is twofold greater when it is promptly rendered.â€ – Publilius Syrus

Perhaps the key to success or dominance â€” optimize for speed. For example Tesla Model S in Plaid+ mode, or Google AMP to speed up the web, or anything in photography which speeds up and streamlines your workflow. We love speed, saving time, having less lag, obstructions and fewer kinks in the pipe!

Perhaps then better to do a fast, speedy and prompt job than no job â€¦ or better to do something â€œpoorlyâ€ and fast, than slow and never.

Abstract Monochrome Photography
A fun pursuit and photography assignment:

Shoot high contrast abstract photos in monochrome.

For example:
1. Shoot under-exposed photos (as dark as possible). -1 or -2 or -3 exposure compensation.
2. Photograph textures, light, interesting surfaces
3. Look at the sky, or places with extreme high contrast
4. Look for faces in gritty textures or beautiful decay (patina, wabi-sabi aesthetics).
5. Look for patterns, or things which break the pattern (spot the not)

Why Minimalism?

Minimalism because I easily bore of things and nothing satisfies me. I just strive to get the â€œleast hatefulâ€ design, and just stick with it â€” even though itâ€™s never perfect. And when itâ€™s perfect I also easily bore of it.

Thus donâ€™t think of minimalism from an aesthetic or ethical perspective, but a highly practical one.

â€œThe best or nothingâ€, and if you got the best, just stick with one. Towards a â€œluxuryâ€ Spartan design ethos.

Perfect is Boring

Yes perfect exists. But once you get it, achieve it or buy it, things are boring. Thus never seek happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction from perfect â€” but perhaps the pursuit of perfection is the goal and the way.

TAKE IT BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

Internal desires, motivations and belief systems and ethos over external ones superimposed on you by others or society.

Curiosity.

Curiosity as the root of philosophy. A life with no curiosity is a dead life.

One doesnâ€™t need to cultivate curiosity â€” one just needs to return to ones childlike curiosity about everything in the world! You donâ€™t need to force a child to be curious â€” it is just his natural state of being!

Curiosity as the art of observation, and having lots of questions. Sociology as questioning social norms and the way things are traditionally done. To challenge convention as the heart of the curious individual.

Extracting More Out of Life

My personal desire and pursuit:

How to extract the maximum out of life.

Seeking maximal engagement, creation, sharing and becoming.
I donâ€™t photograph because I want to, I photograph because I must.
Motivation vs Feedback in Photography

Iâ€™m starting to think that whatâ€™s more important in photography than feedback and critique is motivation, new ideas, new techniques, new sights and new experiences. Thus donâ€™t worry too much on getting feedback on your photos on how to become a â€œbetterâ€ photographer or how to â€œimproveâ€ your photography, but new ways and opportunities to have fun, shoot, innovate and make new images and things!

Motivation over feedback.
EZ PHOTOGRAPHY

Strive to make your photography life more simple and more streamlined, easier. Easier camera settings (program, P mode, autofocus and auto ISO), and make it more fun. The easier we can make the technical settings and the easier the camera we shoot with (RICOH GR III), the more fun we can have in photography, the more we can experiment, adapt, learn and innovate in our photography!
Minimalism as a Motivator
Why minimalism? Not minimalism as just an aesthetic â€” but minimalism as reducing friction and â€œactivation energyâ€ in your life which means less â€œparalysis by analysisâ€ decision making in order to get you out more, exploring more, doing more, adventuring more, shooting more, experiencing more, and becoming more.

Thus the goal is to simplify and minimalize all the superfluous details, to solidify and streamline the truly important and critical crucial things in your life â€” like your hunger for adventure, exploration, art, and photography!

Less is Better
ALL STREET PHOTOGRAPHY IS GOOD.

To be quite honest and frank, nowadays with the global pandemic it is a success to even leave your house.

Thus the new way to think about street photography: no good or bad street photos, it is all good.

Any street photography to get you out of the house, moving interacting with people and shooting is good. Good for your physical health, mental health, and artistic-creative health.

RUTHLESS ADAPTATION.

Ever Expanding Abundance

What do we desire and hunger for? An ever feeling of expansion, growth, fullness, and augmentation of physiological power and well-being.

How is this achieved? Great sleep, nutrition (meat), fresh air and bright sun, physical and physiological well being and strength in your muscles, a zen stoic sense of calm, fearlessness, bravado, strong and thick black coffee in the morning, brisk walks during the day, a clear mind, and an insatiable hunger to do more, experience more, and become more.
SHOOT WITHOUT THINKING.

The apex of photography technique — to shoot without thinking.
(more…)
Power-Expression, Not ‘Productivity’

A realization and re-interpretation or re-articulation on the concept of ‘productivity’:

It isn’t actually ‘productivity’ we want, but power-expression.

I realized this becoming a parent. You suddenly have 100 fewer hours in a day to do your ‘productive’ things. And certainly once you become a parent, your productivity will go down at least 500%.

But then– is it really ‘productivity’ we want? I say no. The biggest pain being a new parent is dealing with the loss of physiological energy (thank god for sleep training). And then what brings us joy? Not being ‘productive’, but having great physiological strength and power we can express to the world via our words, thoughts, photos, art-work, or ideas!
(more…)
Least Activation Energy
A concept I got from my friend Jeffrey Lam:

The great thing about living in very close walking distance to a park (2 minute walk) is that it requires little to no ‘activation energy’ to go there to workout.

Also another thing I realize now I got a kid:

If I want to quickly get in and out of the house, I need the ideal shoes with the least ‘activation energy’ to quickly slip on and off (which has ended up just being simple black slippers).

Which makes me then think:

What are some other domains in life which we can best harness the ‘least activation energy’ concept to thrive more in life?

Some ideas:
1. In the domain of photography, the least activation amount of energy in photography: Simple point and shoot compact camera (RICOH GR III) always in your front pocket, shooting in P program mode, small JPEG, high contrast black and white (the ‘set it and forget it‘ ethos). Autofocus. Ability to use with one hand. Being able to shoot without thinking. Any superfluous technical settings (like shooting manual, etc) as a positive detriment to your photography.
2. With working out, just do the simplest workout which is the easiest for you to do. For example if you’re just stuck at home, buy a kettlebell and do kettlebell swings and lifts. Or if you go to the gym, stick to the simple and highly effective workouts (deadlift, squat, floor bench press/dumbbell press).
3. With music, don’t use bluetooth headphones (having to get them to sync is always a pain in the ass). Best to just play it off your speaker. For example as I write this, its easier to just play music off my laptop speakers than trying to find my bluetooth headphones to sync it to. Same goes with playing music directly off my phone speakers (I’ve started to just play music real loud off my iPhone at max speaker setting when at the gym, so I don’t need to use headphones).
The least amount of activation energy, and the maximal amount of force expression is the goal!
