\u00e2\u20ac\u0153There is nothing worth thinking but it has been thought before; we must only try to think it again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d – Maxims and Reflections by Goethe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

All subject matter has been shot before. But it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter. Photograph it again and again and again, with no satiety, disgust, or boredom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Originality is overrated in photography <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry too much about artistic or subject-matter innovation in photography. Ultimately the themes are all similar in photography and art:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Human beings<\/li>
  2. Humanity, cities, urban environments <\/li>
  3. Nature (landscapes, plants, trees, flowers, etc). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Shoot your selfie <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s never been you. If you really want a unique subject matter, just shoot your selfie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    Discover the truth for yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This is what makes philosophy, life and art so fun:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tackle the same basic questions that all other thinkers and questioners have made in the past, but do it your own way!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Same in photography. Just keep shooting your own life, and make beautiful art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
