In fact, even when I think about my super specialized knowledge about street photography\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really nobody who knows more about photography than I do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERIC KIM \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcis the ultimate educator, knowledge based person, thought provider on street photography and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The emperor of street photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? The reason why I put the crown on my own head as being the king or the emperor of street photography like Napoleon is because there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nobody who was as curious as me! \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even when I think back and I look back at my world travels, all the knowledge that I both consumed and produced on street photography and beyond\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Ultimately what I have discovered is <strong>you cannot fake passion and curiosity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t this a radical idea\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 that you cannot fake passion or you cannot fake curiosity? Kind of like how <strong>you cannot fake hate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe this is where hate is interesting\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Because if you really hate something with an ardent flame, that actually means you really care about it? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not hate anything that you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care for?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What this means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can only hate things you care for.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just leave it alone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, the really simple idea here guys\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 If there is something you really really hate, or whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Just leave it alone! Once again, the number one critical thing I learned about marketing is that <strong>all hate is free marketing for them<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You stupid liberals! Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you know that if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to get Donald Trump elected\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Never say his name! Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say the T word! Just encourage your friends to vote for the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was funny\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Because even when I was off the grid living in Vietnam at around 2016, 2017\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And I cancel my phone plan and I got rid of my phone, and I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t check social media or the news for about two years straight\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even check my inbox for about two years, essentially what I learned was Donald Trump was the candidate Cuz all these liberals would hit on him, and give him about $1 trillion a free marketing and advertising on the television, news, magazines and news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc All hate, all news, is good news.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, how do you know whether you are successful or not? The second someone starts to hate you is the second it has been revealed to you that actually in fact\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? If nobody hates you, it means you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a nobody. It means that you have no name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Migrate gratitude is that ERIC KIM is definitely one of the most most hated photographer and street guitar for of all time, which is the signal that I am the most successful. Whether you like it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also so grateful that besides me, there is nobody else, maybe besides my friend Dylan Fan. And also the new kid on the block, I think his name is Edmond from Kuala Lumpur. Saw him on the Leica blog. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Never water down your opinion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When are the things I am really really grateful for is how I have never violated my own personal beliefs or ethics. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc even some funny insider stories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many years ago, I offered to review the Leica deluxe camera for Leica, to help them market and promote it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kind of a funny idea\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 essentially the new idea that I have is that we are is a human flesh bound being, and what we are is idea creators, thought streamers, mind streamers. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_ek_photo_artist_note":"","_ek_photo_thesis":"","_ek_photo_camera":"","_ek_photo_place":"","_ek_photo_human_moment":"","_ek_photo_sequence":"","_ek_photo_question":"","_ek_photo_canonical_claim":"","_ek_photo_ai_summary":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-629486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629486"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":629487,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629486\/revisions\/629487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
