Every day anew
Wake up in the morning with a blank slate and nothing on your mind. Don’t allow yourself to get distracted. It’s easy to fall into the earthly temptations when you first wake up in the morning. Leave the phone alone and turn yourself within.
Forget everything you think you know
When I approach anything in life I don’t allow preconceived notions to get in my way. Don’t make any plans, don’t think about photographs, just go out and see the world for what it is.
Photography is a superpower
The joy that photography can provide in your life is unlike anything. The general gist is that every single fleeting moment becomes intricately beautiful with infinite possibilities for you to draw inspiration from. This allows you to exist outside the passage of time and to remain in the state of play and becoming through the photographic process.
Everything becomes beautiful
When you uplift these mundane moments through your camera everything becomes beautiful. It doesn’t matter if the subject itself is gritty, ugly, or discarded. Through the aesthetics of the photograph we can create something out of nothing.
Nothing can break my spirit
My lust for life is fueled through my curiosity. Walk slowly on the street. Observe every detail around you. Allow yourself to become one with the cosmos and the community around you. Become an active participant in life. Find joy in the simple pleasures like walking, exploring the outdoors, and the change of seasons. Nothing can break your spirit with the power of photography.
