The biggest problem in photography, art, and modern life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t think the future will be greater, brighter, and more wonderful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Fuck the nihilist<\/a> thinking. The future is greater than we think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

All the advances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consider all the epic advances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Advances in digital photography technology (RICOH GR III<\/a> is phenomenal)<\/li>
  2. Opportunities for you to build your own platform (your own website and blog). Optimism for new photographic platforms, like arsbeta.com<\/a><\/li>
  3. All the visual science we have yet discovered. New advances in AI and Machine Learning<\/a> to help elevate our photographic and artistic vision.<\/li>
  4. All the photographic adventures we have yet go to.<\/li>
  5. All the compositional<\/a> innovations you have yet made. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    All in all, life is worth living! Better yet, being alive is the greatest blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I think we should all strive to live as long as we can, with maximal power, vigor, and artistic optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In our short lives — how far can you fly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
