Hey, what's up, it's your dog's here. I came from there, I'm your target blog. So I just want to give you guys some thoughts on how to be more zen in your target. So currently, I'm shooting all my photos with the Recoge, your version 2. And essentially the way I have set it up is on P mode, program mode, which automatically chooses the adventure and shutter speed. Generally, I you can push this little effect button and I have it on high contrast black and white mode. And in terms of just kind of setting and forgetting it, I've been experimenting. She just raw plus JPEG to make life a little bit easier. And also in terms of ISO, either setting the ISO in the back to 1600 or just being lazy. And just setting it to auto ISO, which is all the way up here. But usually in terms of just setting and forgetting it, I like ISO 100 with the black and white and just setting up. So the reason, okay, so first of all, I don't think black and white photography nor color photography is better worse. They're just different for my personality. I prefer shooting black and white because it just simplifies and strips out the surface. So often I think color could be a distraction. I like black and white because you're not distracted by the colors and the hues. You just focus on the emotion. Generally when I'm shooting and I'm trying to be more zen in my photography, I don't listen to music. So I just let all the sounds and the ambit noises of the street get to me. And also I try to walk a little bit slower than I usually walk. So for those of you guys who walk with me, I usually walk at a pretty frantic pace. I'm actually taller than most people think I am. I'm about 5-10. And so I could cover ground pretty quickly. But when I try to shoot street photography in a more zen-like state of mind, I try to walk about like 50% speed, which I normally do. And by walking slower, I see more decisive moments that I might not have seen otherwise, because I'm usually just running on the streets like a madman. Also strangely enough, this is totally random. But when I have espresso, a double shop espresso, maybe this because I'm addict. I'm actually more calm and concentrated by the same time, more acute of my surrounding. And also when you want to be a more zen-street photographer, when you're shooting, don't just look at street level, look up and also look down. And try to give yourself a 360 degree panorama. Another good pro tip is if you're shooting with just a say, a point-to-camera or just whatever camera, just turn off your phone completely. Take your phone, turn it completely off. Or if you shoot street photography on your iPhone or your Android, whatever, just head to airplane mode. And the reason I bring this up is I don't know what it really means to focus in photography or life, but I know what it means to subtract distractions. And for me, photography is more about like a zen meditation, not worrying about finances, what people are seeing about me on the internet or just family drama, whatever. But it's about feeling the cobblestone every single time I touch your ground with my feet. It's about being appreciative of the small little things like the old Vietnamese lady having a conversation with her kid or the couple holding hands or the old man enjoying a cappuccino outside of a cafe. And I think that life, it's pretty simple in terms of what makes it happy. Good last with friends, walking, making photos, having good food, having good coffee, and just being close to family. I mean, really to me that's happiness. And the reason why I do recommend having a very small light camera is because the light of your camera gear is the more you can walk around. Even Cindy, she helped me and our friends made a new little bag. It's pretty small and it's a prototype version, but I'll just take the Riko, just slip it in here and when I'm out shooting. I just have this small little, it's almost like a portfolio case, and just strap it around my shoulder. And all I do now is I just do all my vlogging videos on just like an iPad. And so life is, it's more simple. It's more minimal and also nice thing about having a smaller bag is that you just end up putting a less shit. So I'm always guilty of this is I overstuck my bags. You go, apply this to almost everything alive, having a smaller house, you buy fewer possessions because there's not as much room. You buy a phone, get smaller data or storage space. So you don't overfill your computer with prep. Even if you're shooting, if you have like an iPod or something, get like the small small like 16 gigs. I only listen to Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z and Kanye on loop. And even with your cameras, I mean I think less and more shoot with your cameras. And for me, street photography, Zen, blah blah blah, it's all about gratitude. It's about walking slower, about appreciating life, appreciating being alive. And obviously, I'm not a Zen monk. I love wearing my $200 Nike shoes. I still have a $3,500 like a film like MP at home, $3,000 land. And you know, I like shit. I mean, to be honest, yeah, this is kind of stupid, but one of my dreams is to own a use because I'm sensible, either use Porsche or use Lambo. I mean, I think that'd be cool. But I'm just, I'm just half joking. But street photography has like a Zen meditation progress process and exercise. And I think it'll just be a lot happier. And don't be so attached to the results. Just enjoy the walk. And also the reason I make this video is to advertise my coming Zen street photography experience in Kyoto next few months. I'll include a link below as well as some links to other Zen photography articles. Or you can just Google Air Kim Zen photography experience 2017. And so yeah, just think that being about getting more likes on Instagram or Facebook or comments is about making more meaningful with your lives and making photos which uplift your soul. Thanks for watching guys. Peace out.
