Dear friend,<\/p>\n

A lot of us have little time. What if we were able to be more creative, and be more fulfilled in our photography, in just 5 minutes a day?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The concept is simple: devote 5 minutes a day to your photography.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set your phone timer to 5 minutes. <\/li>\n
  2. Switch your phone to airplane mode. <\/li>\n
  3. Photograph your environment for 5 minutes, and don’t limit the number of photos you shoot. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can shoot with whatever camera. Just use your phone if you don’t like carrying around a big camera.<\/p>\n

    And in the evening, choose your 1 favorite photo from that 5 minute session, and share it with others. Publish it on your photo blog, or share on social media.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Other ideas:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Study one master photographer<\/a> for 5 minutes. <\/li>\n
    2. Buy a photo book of a photographer whose work you like, and spend 5 minutes just intaking their images. <\/li>\n
    3. Read inspirational photography quotes for 5 minutes. <\/li>\n
    4. Spend 5 minutes writing down a list of photography project ideas you have. <\/li>\n
    5. Spend 5 minutes giving honest, constructive critique to another photographer, or several photographers. This can be people you follow, or to people who follow you. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      For more inspiration on the go, pick up one of the HAPTIC PRESS trifecta books:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. STREET NOTES<\/a><\/li>\n
      2. PHOTO JOURNAL<\/a><\/li>\n
      3. FILM NOTES<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        And know no matter what you can be creative everyday.<\/p>\n

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