Disconnect from the culture.
Emancipate yourself. No media, news, TV, movies, music, celebrities, etc.
Create your own media empire!
Black and white for abstraction
While it is aesthetically beautiful, don’t even consider that. Don’t think about nostalgia, this, that, blah blah. We are abstracting reality through the medium and creating visual art.
Let life flow towards you
Serendipity will take over. Don’t worry if you miss a shot. Photo opportunity is literally everywhere. Just start looking with child-like eyes. Be more curious.
Make the camera your slave
No more camera gear. No more camera settings. Just start shooting in automatic mode with the compact digital camera technology. You don’t need to learn “photography” anymore.
Just skip the learning phase?
Never think about photography projects or external goals
Don’t talk to me about galleries, zines, social media, etc.

Barefoot shoes allow you to walk with intention
Maybe they make you a better photographer? Slowing down and feeling the surfaces around me has been a huge game changer for me.
