Free photography inspiration on Eric Kim NEWSLETTER ><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey streettogs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Friday! I wanted to start sending you some more email newsletters<\/a> to hopefully keep your mind full of ‘turbo thoughts’, and also to keep you more inspired in your photography. I’m currently loving the new\u00c2\u00a0RICOH GR III<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0[I highly encourage you to order one], and want to share some of this new-spring of photographic inspiration with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why you’re a visual artist, not photographer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the thought for today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photograph is not sacred<\/a>. A photograph is visual art. Your job as a photographer isn’t to depict picture-perfect reality. Your duty is to create your OWN interpretation of reality, and strive to make it as beautiful as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
