I think this is the great secret to life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As artists, what do we tire of, and what *don’t* we tire of?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

First thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We quickly bore and tire of aesthetics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We bore and tire of fashions, car design, phone design, and certain aesthetic trends. Any consumerist or materialist thing or trend … we tire of so quickly and easily. Even when I imagined getting a black-paint Leica M9<\/a> (later sold it and traded it for a film Leica MP<\/a>) and a Leica 35mm f\/2 Summicron Lens … how quickly I got tired of the design and the concept. I can also imagine one would quickly tire of owning a Lamborghini<\/a> (even if you had the black on black Aventador, matted\/murdered out with the Lambo\/Billionaire\/scissor doors). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What *don’t* we tire of? Art. Specifically, the act and process of creating our own artwork. This means creating digital art (Procreate\/Zen Brush on iPad\/iPhone) or photographs (in praise of street photography<\/a> and photography<\/a> in general).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So what are we to do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"car<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The simple thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tire less of new experiences than buying new things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Thus spending as little money as possible on expensive things (your home, your car, etc) and spending that money on travel<\/a>, experiences<\/a>, workshops, books<\/a> (books can be seen as an experience) and anything that empowers you to do more photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t tire of our physique and our bodies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"selfie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are less likely to tire of our own bodies and physique<\/a>. This is the most important thing to beautify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The simple formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep adding more muscle mass<\/a>, and keep lowering your body fat percentage<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

My child<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I never tire of seeing the daily growth of Seneca<\/a>, my son. In some ways, if you desire to have the most fun, interesting and meaningful life … having a child is the ultimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philosophy, writing and turbo-thoughtting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"car<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Philosophy is king<\/a>. Keep writing, thinking, walking, contemplating, meditating, re-challenging your beliefs and sharing them with others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
