Why Share
What’s popping, people? Today, I’m thinking about something big: why share your life? Why share your perspective, your art, your videos, your photos, your words, your thinking? It’s an important question, and I’ve come to believe in the value of sharing—not just sharing, but doing so in a raw and authentic way.
Sharing Without Attachments
I’ve found a way that works for me: filming with a GoPro Mini. No attachments, no LCD screens. It’s just a floating oracle, a tool to capture my thoughts and post them online. This simple setup becomes a way to propagate your voice in a world that’s often too curated.
When I’m not making a photo, I might have a thought I need to share. Whether it’s through video or audio, having a multi-faceted way of sharing keeps my passion for creation alive. Sharing augments reality, enhancing the timeline of your life in ways you might not expect.
Breaking the Curation Cycle
We live in an era dominated by social media, where the highlights and best moments take center stage. But I think there’s more value in being candid, in sharing without the need for likes or comments. Imagine creating in an autotelic way, where you share because you love to—not because you’re chasing external validation.
“Everyone’s unique perspective is worth viewing and sharing.”
This belief drives me. When we share authentically, we thrive collectively, learning through others’ perspectives while deepening our own.
The Photographic Connection
Sharing connects directly to the photographic process. Your camera reflects your unique way of seeing the world. It makes me wonder: What if Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci had a GoPro? Imagine the insights they could have shared about their creative process. The thought is inspiring.
Fighting Trends and Indoctrination
We live in a capitalist, consumer-driven society. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but there’s a “slave mentality” at play—we’re indoctrinated by trends and culture to the point where critical thinking takes a backseat. Sharing your perspective becomes a way to break through the Matrix and cut through the noise.
“To share your perspective is vital for human thriving.”
The more people share—through photography, drawing, painting, or any art form—the closer we come to a new Renaissance. A time where artists shape the future, where unique voices resonate and inspire.
Building Courage to Share
It takes guts to put yourself out there, but it’s worth it. Even if you impact just one other person, it’s meaningful. Sharing is an act of courage, a declaration that your perspective matters in a world increasingly automated, AI-driven, and tech-focused. We’re heading toward a dystopia of nerdy, computer-obsessed futures. But before that hits, let’s share our perspectives and create something beautiful.
The Call to Action
So here’s the takeaway: start now. Share your perspective while you can. Whether it’s through words, photos, videos, or art, your voice matters. Let’s break through the noise together and thrive collectively. The future may be automated, but the present is ours to shape.
“Share your perspective now.”
