Fitness first, creativity second

You only need to spend 4 minutes and 20 seconds in the gym! It’s a very simple thing to get yourself up and exercising and requires no time at all. I think there’s a misconception that you need to be slaving away in the gym, self flagellating yourself to see any gains. I’m a firm believer in the 5 minute pump and just go on with my life afterwards

Beef = testosterone = happiness

Imagine a life of sitting in front of a computer all day. It will be inevitable for you to become depressed. I don’t wish this life upon my worst enemy!

Striving towards bigger and bigger goals each day

How much beef you got? Meat is currency and the fridge is the new bank account.

Fitting nicely into a Lululemon outfit is luxury. Draping yourself in logos or the latest trendy fit is McDonalds fashion

Courage and Audacity in Street Photography

Why Courage Matters

Street photography is not for the faint of heart. It demands that you step into the world with confidence, ready to capture life as it happens. Courage is the foundation of great street photography—it pushes you to take risks, confront your fears, and document moments others might shy away from.

“If you want to make good art on the streets, you need courage and audacity. Without these, you’re just going through the motions.”

Building Courage Through Strength

Courage doesn’t come out of nowhere. It starts with working on yourself.

• Physical fitness: Strengthening your body builds confidence. Start lifting, fasting, and eating right.
• Mental toughness: When you’re physically strong, your mindset changes. You feel capable, bold, and ready to face the challenges of street photography.

“Good art comes from good health. No great work has ever come from a place of degeneracy.”

Overcoming Fear on the Streets

For newcomers, fear of confrontation or judgment is common. But fear is just an obstacle to be overcome.

1. Start small: Take a few candid shots in low-pressure environments.
2. Push your boundaries: Gradually work your way to busier, more challenging scenes.
3. Adopt a fearless mindset: Realize that most people won’t even notice you, and those who do will likely forget the interaction moments later.

“Introversion is not an excuse. With the right approach, anyone can become bold on the streets.”

The Role of Audacity in Art

Audacity means stepping into situations others would avoid. It means photographing in places where tension is high or where you feel out of place. These moments often yield the most powerful, honest images.

“When you have the blood of Achilles rushing through you, you’ll seek out adventures and face them head-on.”

Lessons from the Front Lines

I’ve experienced this firsthand. Photographing in conflict zones like the West Bank or walking the streets of Philadelphia, I’ve learned that courage opens doors to deeper stories. It allows you to see beyond surface-level narratives and connect with the raw, unfiltered truth of a place.

“Visual storytelling isn’t about creating fluffy narratives. It’s about capturing what’s real, without the academic nonsense.”

The Supreme Art Form

Street photography, in its purest form, is about reacting to life. There’s no script, no agenda—just the raw process of observing and creating.

• Supreme in its honesty.
• Supreme in its simplicity.
• Supreme in its historical significance.

“We are making history with our art, showcasing what life truly looks like in this time and place.”

The Gospel of Courage and Audacity

To succeed in street photography, cultivate your courage and audacity every day:

• Increase your strength.
• Push past your fears.
• Adopt an irrational drive to create.

“If you’re curious and courageous, nothing will stop you. The streets will always reward the bold.”

Step out with confidence, embrace the unknown, and let your audacity guide you. The streets are waiting.

If you are a Philadelphian, never forget what our city is all about. Wear your heart on your sleeve.

You can control your mental health through proper physiological precautions. I have never felt this strong or powerful since this past one year. Hit the gym in the morning, fast all day, and eat beef only every night. Deep sleep, 30,000 steps per day, and say hello to strangers. Humans thrive around other humans. I can’t stop smiling!
