<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nTake 100 photos of your hand (either left hand, right hand, or both?). You can shoot your hand in-focus or out-of-focus. Experiment with different angles and such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of inspiration, think Renaissance paintings. Michelangelo<\/a> or Leonardo da Vinci<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photograph your hand with a flash, or without. Put your hand against the light, or with. Shoot upwards or downwards. Curl your hands in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have a photograph you love, upload it to arsbeta.com<\/a> to get honest feedback on your photo. Also, make sure to give honest feedback to others in the community as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nRespark your passion for photography and augment your courage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This Saturday (12-2pm Eastern Time \/ New York City Time), I am teaching an online CONQUER YOUR FEARS workshop<\/a>. If you’re hungry to augment your courage in street photography or learn new techniques how to overcome ‘paralysis by analysis’ in street photography, this workshop is for you. Learn more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’re already a photography entrepreneur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve ever shared your photos online, you are a photography entrepreneur. I’m teaching an Uber-exciting and interesting course (two weekends from now) on Photography Entrepreneurship<\/a>. The gist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- How to successfully monetize your passion for photography.<\/li>
- How to build an online presence, and build a (small) yet loyal following.<\/li>
- Interesting and new effective ways to market yourself online as a photographer, and new ways you can display and exhibit your photos online<\/li>
- How to differentiate yourself in the over-saturated world of photography.<\/li>
- Why I deleted my Instagram (in favor of building your own self-hosted website)<\/li>
- How to achieve your dreams in photography (pragmatic advice and suggestions from me).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
The workshop is Saturday June 27, 2020 \/ 12-2pm Eastern Time. If you’ve attended one of my workshops in the past and you want to up your online photography presence and marketing prowess, hit up Neil at neilta@gmail.com for your returning student discount. Also if you’re curious about the workshop and want to learn more, read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat I’m thinking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Thinking of the new role of the photographer. Photographer as the apex artist<\/a>. Why? We are the most interesting artists. We can create artwork, and also document the real world.<\/li>
- Why I’m so passionate about entrepreneurship<\/a>. The gist is that in todays modern capitalist world, the only way to get true freedom is by becoming self-employed.<\/li>
- My thoughts on the joy of working out at the park<\/a>.<\/li>
- Study geometry to improve your photography<\/a>.<\/li>
- If you want to monetize your photography or build a name for yourself, don’t strive to get a sponsorship or brand deal. Better to advertise yourself<\/a> and to use your first and last name<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Books I’m reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- The birth of tragedy by Nietzsche<\/a><\/li>
- The Satyricon by Petronius<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
What I’m listening to<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A written testimony by Jay Electronica \/ JAY Z<\/a>. See the Live Stream here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What ideas are interesting to me right now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- To best help society and the world, best to buy kids “in the hood” MacBook Air Laptops<\/a> (either new, used, or refurbished). Teach kids how to code, build websites, and blog.<\/li>
- Chromatism<\/a>: Wondering why we judge one another based on the chroma (color or Pantone shade) of our flesh?<\/li>
- The birth of a hater<\/a>: Why do haters hate?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
