The mistake: we think we can only make good photos while we’re traveling or abroad.<\/p>\n

In reality: the best photos are the photos of our everyday life.<\/p>\n

Fantasy<\/h2>\n

\n Why fantasy is the enemy of happiness<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think a lot of us see photography as escapism. We are dissatisfied with our everyday lives, and we hope that we can travel with our camera, and see the world, and find some everlasting joy.<\/p>\n

But — what if, we could use a camera as a tool to appreciate our everyday lives?<\/p>\n

\n What if we realized that our life (that we currently have) is already<\/em> the best life possible?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you make photos of your everyday life, you are telling yourself:<\/p>\n

\n I already have the best life possible, and I am going to photograph my everyday life– the small things which bring me joy in life.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What to photograph?<\/h2>\n

Photograph your daily schedule. Photograph your selfie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You wake up, photograph yourself in the mirror. Photograph your morning coffee and breakfast. Photograph your commute — either if you’re stuck in a car, or when you’re in public transportation.<\/p>\n
