This is real documentary photography - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueYQMIpwBE4

Love his advocacy for joining the community - getting closer to others, not just borrowing elements from it or observing it. If you appreciate a culture you should live in it.

Thinking that once a week is a good rate for taking photos.

If I want to live more local, maybe I should use bandcamp instead then.

I appreciate the people who lean into the competitive advantages of taking photos - the ability to perfectly document an environment. Marketing work can be replaced by graphic design, 3D modeling, AI - that'll become cheaper. Recording progress, process, individual documentation - that's what photos are good for.

Yeah, I think Ricoh GR iii X is for me - I don't think the lack of weather will ever be a problem - but I also think my budget's run out.

To learn from photos
- Shooting without the viewfinder, without the screen, without even looking. Being able to have a conversation without a camera, but still document a moment, is really beautiful
- More interesting compositions. I messed up my photos from the event yesterday trying to square the compositions. They were just worse. Focus on people first - don't be too rigid
- Shooting one handed. So powerful. Goes with the shooting without the viewfinder.
- Working with people.

Always provide help first, then ask why, not the other way around - especially if it's something that could (or should) be prioritized. Nobody likes no

Thinking about livestreaming my daily photo editing or review sessions. Is that a good idea?
