3319 Keepers Since July 1st, 2023

My new workflow has yielded an insane amount of keepers. Small high contrast b/w JPEGs only. Minimal post processing and quick editing. I haven’t shot a raw photo in six months.

Go beyond “the moment” and photograph whatever inspires you. If it’s a piece of trash, take a photo. 

Get off Instagram. It has too much influence on us. Seeking validation from strangers is unhealthy.

Shoot at least 100 photos per hour and expect a 3% keeper rate. Take as many photos as possible. This method paired with the fast workflow of editing JPEGs makes your life in post quick and easy.

Use a small camera. A Ricoh, Olympus or Panasonic is probably best. Something you can fit in your pocket.
