Publish your photos as quickly as possible
When you come home, import and backup everything immediately. It shouldn’t take long at all.
Small JPEG high contrast life is supreme! Also remix them using Procreate for iPad and the gradient map feature.
Routine is important
While I enjoy the chaos, hustle and bustle of urban life, I believe it’s critical to have a routine. Whether you have a favorite coffee shop, gym, or any daily ritual, I believe it’s a good thing to do certain things everyday.
Share all of your interests, hobbies, and passions together
I’m currently passionate about photography, video, blogging, fitness, nutrition, and cycling.
Don’t focus on making single images
I think it’s safe to say that I’ve mastered the single image after ten years of practice.
Currently speaking, I am much more interested in volume and making a wide variety of images. It’s time to break through the wall and dig a never ending tunnel that transcends and goes beyond photography.
The goal is to wake up each and every morning with a curious, child-like perspective of the world. Disconnect from any basic notions of what you consider “good or bad” photographs.
Go out there and play.
