What would an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ideal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photography culture look like? Some of my personal thoughts:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Self-motivated<\/h2>\n
\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div>
\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div>

\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

First of all, we make photos for purely autotelic reasons (for ourselves, self-directed motives). We make photos to please our own insatiable eyes; we strive to make stronger photos to satiate our visual hunger.<\/p>\n

2. Gear-agnostic<\/h2>\n

\"CDMX <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"CDMX <\/a> <\/div>

\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190227-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>

No camera equipment is perfect or ideal for everyone. And technology in photography is constantly in a state of flux.<\/p>\n

Thus,<\/p>\n

Never stay married to one camera (or camera system) for the rest of your life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allow yourself to experiment with new camera systems, formats, approaches, techniques, etc.<\/p>\n

3. Own your own platform<\/h2>\n
\"20190301-mexico <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190301-mexico <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190301-mexico <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190301-mexico <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190301-mexico <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190301-mexico <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190301-mexico <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Stop using or delete your Facebook, Instagram, or other \u00e2\u20ac\u0153free\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photo sharing platform. You can only truly thrive as a visual creator and artist if you own all the means of creation. Your desire is to become a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153vertically integrated\u00e2\u20ac\u009d visual factory \u00e2\u20ac\u201d you own your blog, website, and means of publishing \/ sharing your work.<\/p>\n

4. Never stop innovating<\/h2>\n
\"eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"eric <\/a> <\/div>
\"eric <\/a> <\/div>
\"eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"eric <\/a> <\/div>
\"Eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Lastly, we always are always hungry for more. We are implacable. We cannot be appeased, satiated, or satisfied. And this is what drives us to innovate in our photography, approach, and life.<\/p>\n

We are hungry and thirsty for fresh new visual blood, new ways of seeing and experiencing the world, and living life!<\/p>\n
