It’s the best thing I ever did for my street photography. We’ve been acting since birth. With our parents, in school and social circles. Adapt to get the shot. Why start acting like a photographer on the street? Take on the role that gets you the shot. Acting like a pro photographer on the streets will just draw unneeded attention and piss people off.

Keep Your Head While They Are Losing Theirs
Best to stay calm in the face of anger.

Our Belief Systems
Many of us hold beliefs and don’t know why. Challenging us with your unconventional ways will lead to unnecessary friction and many enemies. If you want to lead people, best to blend in and tell little lies and only discuss your true feelings when you gain enough power.
Extreme Views
I might be converted but the majority will be offended creating a legion of enemies. Better to keep it to yourself to avoid unnecessary scrutiny.
Better To Blend In
Than to openly discuss your unconventional ways. It shows us you look down on us for not sharing those ideas. Better to keep views to yourself and only discuss with close friends.
When I was a vegan, I felt superior to you. It wasn’t about the diet or environmental causes. It was about competing with you. And telling you how superior I was. I didn’t know it at the time how I came across.

Utilities Are So Cheap In Santa Monica
The mild temperature means we don’t use A/C or heat. When it’s warmer we pay around $40 a month because we run a few fans. During the winter, we are around $30 a month. When I lived in Cincinnati, I was lucky to pay $150 per month and when I got really cold I’d pay up to $250 a month.
Santa Monica Should Be More Like El Salvador
From 103 homicides per 100,000 in 2015 to 7.8 per 100,000 in 2022. I’ve spent over a month in El Salvador and traveled all over. It’s a great place full of life and friendly people. Never felt unsafe unlike the daily craziness from local zombies here.
