Sunday Morning at Home

Every photographer once (at least!) said “I don’t have enough time to take photos”. Blogger Eric Kim thinks that it's wrong, because we think that we can only take photos if we travel to exotic places, if we have a super interesting lifestyle or if we have the best cameras and lenses: “All of this is just bullshit that the camera companies and advertising companies try to feed you, to breed discontent with your simple and humble life. They make you think that your life isn’t exciting enough, and you cannot make any good photos without traveling and spending thousands of dollars, or if you don’t have the newest greatest digital camera”.


An Eric’s friend once asked him: “Why is it that we take photos of strangers with $1,000’s worth of camera equipment, but we photograph photos of our loved ones with a smartphone?”. For Eric the point is this: use your expensive camera equipment to photograph your loved ones and your everyday life: “So friend, look in the mirror. You are the best subject to photograph. Look at your friends and loved ones. Unfortunately they are all going to die one day (some of them before you)— so photograph them with as much heart, soul, love, and empathy as you can. So friend, what are you waiting for? Photograph your daily life like you won’t wake up tomorrow morning. Love life, love the moment, and love your lifestyle. Be the author of your life, and make sure it is a damn good story”.
