Making more potent art, drinking more potent coffee, making yourself more potent in life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Potency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Ability, becoming stronger, mightier, more powerful.<\/li>
  2. Force, body of men, territory, dominion. <\/li>
  3. Potis<\/a>: possibility. Master.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Making more potent photos <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    1. Focus on humans <\/li>
    2. Focus on human gestures and emotions <\/li>
    3. Dynamic photos with force and strength. <\/li>
    4. Photograph what contributes to life, to feeling of vigor, good will, and power. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Potent images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      A potent image impacts you, punches you in the gut, and resounds with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A potent medicine: strong, concentrated, effective. Not watered down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to increase potency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      To make a medicine more potent, you don’t water it down or “cut” it with anything. The pure essence is the most potent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      It is true that certain medicines are made more potent with adding caffeine or other substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      With photos then, perhaps to make your photos more potent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Focus on the action, gesture, or the happening<\/strong>. Get close to the action and try not to include anything in the frame which distracts from your intention as a photographer. <\/li>
      2. Simplify the shapes and forms<\/strong>. For monochrome, higher contrast. For color, more vibrant and juicy colors. In praise of extreme post processing. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Increasing your potential in life <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Potential power, potential kinetic power (physics). Something which has yet been moved or put into motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        To move (motion) as the root of all power and achieving maximal power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        To practice more, to do more, to experiment more. To be more active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Conclusion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Never squander your potential! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
