\"\"<\/p>\n

Photography inspiration,
\nShoot photos which excites your soul’s elation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Inspiration: that deadly muse
\nTo find more inspiration, turn off the news feed
\nOn your Facebook and Instagram<\/a>.
\nSubtract these sham images and news from your mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To inspire yourself, live in airplane mode
\nAnd seek to crack reality’s Matrix code<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Less time checking your email,
\nRather, touch textures like blind Braille.<\/p>\n

Inspire yourself by looking at kids play
\nThey do it without pay, all day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Be like Pablo Picasso<\/a> or Kanye<\/a>,
\nDon’t become a new slave, just pave your own artistic path
\nBy refusing to sit down in class
\nJust keep on filling your creative stash
\nOr mood board<\/a>; avoid being bored.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Avoid boring books, boring art, and boring photos
\nAvoid boring people, boring ideas, and boring poetry
\nRather, write your own obituary and your own future story.<\/p>\n

Do this by wandering the streets, camera in hand, with no predetermined plan.
\nDo this by writing your own (shitty) poetry, like Eric Kim– sing your own souls hymn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ignore Eric Kim, just follow you
\nDo you, and know that every shoe doesn’t fit every foot.<\/p>\n

Fill your mind with books<\/a> that inspire you,
\nFuck the high brow literature of the past, just mash modern inspiration and treat everyday like your creative vacation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Regardless of your vocation or job in life,
\nExtract the maximum benefits without getting fired– and take your creativity higher.<\/p>\n

Seek to be a better photographer everyday, ignore your daily wage or how much you’re paid.<\/p>\n

Just shoot with your phone<\/a>. You don’t need to go to Rome, or Paris– keep shooting what you personally cherish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don’t just shoot street photography<\/a>. Shoot personal photography<\/a>. Shoot selfies<\/a>, regardless if you’re poor or wealthy. Shoot photos from your brain, and disregard if others call you vain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep slaying the procrastinating dragon, breathe your own creative fire. Like a helicopter, keep taking your limits higher.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sky isn’t the limit, it is the stars.
\nWhatever you dream, you can go very far.<\/p>\n

Be STRONG,
\nERIC<\/p>\n
