Why prioritize yourself? My thought is this: We want to avoid pettiness and resentment in life. Often when we spend our enti...

Mp3 audio My thought: In life, we always want to feel that our power, influence, and strength is ASCENDING. It brings us great dismay when we feel our power is descending. For example, when we think about money — it isn’t about how much money you ultimately got. It is more about income flow (the stream of money constantly entering your bank account), the feeling that your earning potential is incr...

Practical tips on how to become a more productive artist and creator: Intermittent fasting : Don't get food coma during the day. Fast until evening or dinner-time. After eating a (massive) and meat-heavy dinner, it is best to 'food coma' and go straight to sleep. Sleep a shitload : I aim for 10-12 hours. This is good for me, because I start the day with 110% battery capability. When you can no lon...

To blog, vlog, and log yourself on the internet -- To share your stream of constantly becoming with others. https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/02/24/why-i-blog-vlog-and-log/ Mp3 download: https://erickimphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Why-I-Blog-Vlog-and-Log.mp3

What is the worst thing holding us back? This obsession for views, likes, and followers. To truly thrive as a photographer and visual artist, you must learn to DISDAIN views, likes, and followers.

To photograph yourself means: Select a certain aesthetic to convey your personal aesthetic tastes, moods, or attitude towards life. Only photograph what you consider beautiful. Or if you want to photograph what you consider ugly, do it with intent. Don’t strive to make “good” photos. Strive to make HONEST photos that reveal part of yourself and your own soul. https://erickimphotography.com/blog/20...

There is the saying "You are what you eat" which means: If you consume nutritious foods, you shall become powerful. If you consume bad foods, you shall become weak and fat. Perhaps we can approach this attitude to photography -- If you are what you photograph, by photographing what brings you joy will make you more joyful and happy! https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/02/24/you-are-what-you-p...

Apparently there is a saying in Chinese: Health begins from your feet upwards. Which made me think: The source of all photography begins in your feet! https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/02/23/photograph-with-your-feet/ Mp3 download: https://erickimphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Photograph-with-Your-Feet.mp3

PDF TEXT: https://erickimphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Share-Your-Perspective.pdf Ideas: No more censoring yourself. Better to be insanely and brutally honest than to water down your opinion. All of your perspectives are legitimate and worthy to be shared. All perspectives are equally legitimate, but the difference is rather: How many people can you get to listen to you and follo...

Do you remember those old-school commercials with Michael Jordan saying: "I wanna be like Mike." Why was this so catchy? First of all, it rhymed. Secondly, people wanted to BECOME Michael Jordan. He was the gre...

What are Your Hidden Powers? What lies latent within you? What hidden powers do you have, that you haven't discovered yet, or let out yet? What is your hidden mutant power? When reading AKIRA, or thinking about X-MEN, the thought is this: How can we unlock or uncover hidden human super-powers -- and augment and grow it, to be used for 'the greater good'? What distracts us? The problem -- entertain...

Black and white simplifies and uncovers the hidden beauty. I love black and white because: Black and white SIMPLIFIES your compositions Black and white is challenging: A 'creative constraint' of monochrome is interesting because it begs the question, "How can you make an interesting image without adding the interest of color?" Black and white is simpler, more minimal -- which follows my personal a...

Simplify in order to augment your personal creative output. https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/02/24/why-simplify-your-life/

Anti-perfection in life. 

Augment your strengths. In order to MAXIMIZE your productivity, you must SIMPLIFY your life to the maximum as well! https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/02/24/how-to-10x-yourself/ Mp3: https://erickimphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/3-10x.mp3

The best power? Not power over others– but power over yourself. To control yourself, and to exploit yourself and your inner-powers to the maximum.

Why this cult of productivity? My theory-- we want to become more productive (in order to make more money), in order to gain our personal freedom in life . Blog: https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/02/22/productivity-for-personal-freedom/

Problems with big file sizes: Wasted time: More time to import, export photos, videos, and files. Internet speeds are still quite slow. Often more megapixels is WORSE image quality.
