Once you have perfect, then what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The perfect camera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, in the past I was always seeking the perfect camera, and I found it (RICOH GR II). Then what? I guess shoot photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect lifestyle <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always sought the perfect lifestyle, and I think I’ve found it in living nomadically, minimalism l\/simplicity, and creative productivity. Now what? I guess just focus on making more artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect partner <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve discovered the perfect partner for myself (Cindy). Now what? I guess focus on empowering her, while also building us up as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have the perfect clothes (all black everything Merino wool). Now what? I guess getting less distracted by clothing, and focusing on living, creating, thinking, and making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfection isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the goal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think perfection is the goal \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the goal is just creative productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still believe searching for more\u00e2\u20ac\u201d striving to improve things (gradual kaizen approach) is desirable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So even though I feel I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve discovered a small degree of perfection, I still want more. And perhaps that is the goal \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to always strive for more<\/a><\/strong>.

For example in powerlifting (deadlift<\/a>) and physical strength, always strive to become stronger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your artistic innovation\u00e2\u20ac\u201d never stop innovating and inventing new photographic approaches, techniques<\/a>, compositions<\/a>, and aesthetic<\/a> styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with cameras \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy to know I have the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153perfect\u00e2\u20ac\u009d camera, but I still desire for something better (future of phone<\/a> cameras and digital medium format<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never stop desiring for more! This is the secret of life. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
