Dear friend,

Dear friend,
I’m gonna give you some contrarian (not ‘common-sense’) advice on how to become a viral photographer — someone whose message, ideas, and images will spread like a virus.

I’m one of the most productive people I know, and I never procrastinate on what is important to me.

Dear friend,
I think I am the best photography marketer alive. I wanna share my secrets with you.

Dear friend,
I think a lot of us feel like our photography has no meaning.

“Consult your conscience; rather than popular opinion.†– Pubilius Syrus
We generally give credence to our brains, and our “rationality†more than our gut, intuition, and feelings.

Dear friend,
If you knew your iPhone battery was only at 5% left — what would you do and not do with your remaining charge?

Dear friend,
If you’ve ever felt afraid, scared or shitty– know that street photography can empower you.
Fresh out of STREET NOTES is the 5 Yes, 5 No challenge.

“What’s the difference between really believing your ideals, and sticking to them?†– Elon Musk
There are no ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ideals out there.

Dear friend,
I wanna tell you a sad truth: passive income is a myth for the majority of people.

You’re standing in a tar pit. You look down at your feet, and you see the jet black sludge dragging you into this pit of doom.
CINDY: I remember as a kid, when summer rolled around and I could not wait to get out of class and finally get to do all the things I wanted to do: sleep in, read more books, learn the cello, write my short story, etc.
Dear friend,
I welcome you to the new ERIC KIM FORUM.
One of the things I love most about street photography is simply walking the streets.
FILM NOTES is your new electric-red companion to learn film photography.

Is digital medium-format photography worth the money, or overrated?

Dear friend,
If you wanna succeed in business you need to learn how to become a master at marketing.

What is the first mission of an entrepreneur?

Dear friend,
I wanna give you my secrets in terms of how I get a lot of shit done, how I have earned $200,000+ USD a year (credit to Cindy), how we saved over $150,000+, how I deadlift over 400 pounds, and how I was able to conquer all of my fears.

Life is short, art is long
While we’re still alive, let us sing God’s song.

Free will
Take the red pill or the blue,
Which way do you wanna go? You choose.

I get a lot of hateful comments online, and this is one technique I just thought of which helps me deal with it.
Whenever someone leaves a negative comment about you on the internet, their words are transmitted through electrical data. They touch their keyboards (or smartphones), and that information is turned into binary code— 1’s and 0’s.
Can 1’s and 0’s hurt you?
Always,
Eric

Dear friend,
I wanna write you a letter on why I stopped giving a shit on what others think of me, and how I did it.

Lick the lightning
Even though life might be scary and frightening.

Dear friend,
So many of us have great ideas, dreams, and ambitions, yet we lack willpower. How do we gain more will power, and avoid things or people that suck out our will power?

Dear friend,
Life is not a zero sum game, meaning there are no winners or losers in life. We can all be winners and we are all on the same team.
Dear friend,
I want to share some thoughts on how to create mood in your photos:

I’ve always been obsessed with cars from a young age. To me, I saw the car as a symbol of freedom, masculinity, and happiness.

I love Apple, Steve Jobs, Jony Ive, and the design crew at Apple. I feel they have empowered humankind (myself included) to become the best creative versions of ourselves through technology.

A smiling face,
But deep in his heart
Jet-black tar.

Friend,
One thing I learned in life is the secret to happiness isn’t owning a lot of stuff, or having status in life– it is having meaningful relationships and meaningful work.

Dear friend,
Imma try to share with you all my secrets in terms of how photography principles, based on the last 10 years I’ve been making photographs.

“Give me one firm spot on which to stand, and I shall move the earth.” – Archimedes
You can move the world– as long as you know what your archimedes’ lever is:

A powerful idea— if you lived your life on loop, where your 24 hours of your day was put on repeat for infinity — would you be overjoyed or would you want to commit suicide? (Nietzche’s idea of ‘Eternal Recurrence’)

Dear friend,
I have this principle I’ve followed in my photography and life — the “25% rule.â€

If we didn’t value what is scarce and expensive; wouldn’t life just be far easier?

The biggest lie you’re told: you cannot get rich off your passion.
