Dear friend,<\/p>\n

Shoot more with your phone. Why? Some ideas:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. The more you shoot, the happier you will be!<\/h2>\n

To me, we are the happiest when we are creating. When you make photos, you’re creating pictures.<\/p>\n

Thus, shoot more with your phone to create more pictures!<\/p>\n

2. No friction<\/h2>\n

What holds us back from making photos? Friction. The friction of carrying a heavy camera, or the friction of leaving the house (with a heavy or burdensome camera).<\/p>\n

For most of us, our phone is always with us. Thus our camera is always with us.<\/p>\n

A fun idea:<\/p>\n

\n Don’t call it a phone; call it a camera that can make phone calls.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy gave me an idea, the next time you upgrade or buy a new phone, just think of it like you’re buying a new camera with calling functions.<\/p>\n

Therefore when you buy a new mobile device, first optimize for the camera; phone second.<\/p>\n

3. Discover more beauty around you<\/h2>\n

I’m currently staying with my mom in the boring suburbs of San Jose. Yet even walking around the block with a phone, you can see lots of beautiful things!<\/p>\n

By shooting more with your phone, you will see more beauty around you, even beauty in the “ugly”:<\/p>\n

4. Walk more<\/h2>\n

A simple idea: to be happier in life, walk more. Go on more walks around the block with your phone and shoot photos of whatever puts a smile on your face.<\/p>\n

5. Get out of your house<\/h2>\n

Photography is a good excuse to get out of your house. Leave the house more often.<\/p>\n
