You are like playing with visual building blocks on the streets, or in your home.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  You only shoot what brings a smile to your face.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>PHOTO THERAPY<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking lately&#8211; I genuinely believe that <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/photography-therapy\/\">photography is therapy<\/a>. Photography is a way for us to self-express ourselves, photography is a way for us to walk more (good for our mental\/physical health), and photography is a good way for us to find joy in the beauty of the ordinary, mundane, everyday things.<\/p>\n<p>I think true happiness is finding joy in the common, everyday things. To find joy in that cup of coffee in the morning, the nice brisk walk around the block, the lunch with your co-workers, the joy of reading a book on your commute back home, or the joy of having a 3-hour dinner with friends, family, and loved ones. The joy of making photos, and looking at your photos.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The wisdom in simplicity<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75229\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"75229\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/28\/marseille-diary-iii\/9be4bada-76e7-424b-9c8e-5a61447713f0\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/9BE4BADA-76E7-424B-9C8E-5A61447713F0.jpeg?fit=4928%2C3264&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4928,3264\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;GR II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1513997640&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;ERIC KIM&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"9BE4BADA-76E7-424B-9C8E-5A61447713F0\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Cindy with blue candle over face.
