I like this notion of a ‘high culture’ (“haute culture” in French). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if we could do the same in the realm of photography? To elevate the culture of photography to a higher height. To go BEYOND small and petty issues in photography. To think long-term<\/a> in our photography and artwork, to focus on long-term thriving, and to use this knowledge to EMPOWER ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS on the globe, and far into the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some proposals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. No categories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"water<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"sunset\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Avoid the nerdy compulsion to categorize everything. Perhaps we shouldn’t categorize our photography. This means just shoot everything, with no discretion! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Owning your own website\/blog\/platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Tokyo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To thrive long-term as a photographer, visual artist, and entrepreneur — it seems ESSENTIAL to own your own platform.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means own your own website<\/a> and domain (register on bluehost.com<\/a> or 1and1.com<\/a>) and install wordpress.org<\/a> blogging and website framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Visual artist, not photographer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be only<\/em> a photographer seems too basic. Go BEYOND. You’re a visual artist, not just a photographer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means cross-pollinate<\/a> all forms of your visual artwork, with no limits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
