No Aesthetic or Ethos is Forever

A thought and realization: There is no perfect aesthetic, ethos or approach to anything in life. No matter how good or perfect something you discover or create, sooner or later you will either bore or tire of it, or change your mind.

Black is Boring

I don’t know about you, but the trend of “all black everything” is starting to bore me. For example all black cars — it is a boring trend. Better to opt for more bold, vibrant and audacious colors! And with clothing and fashion — perhaps best to opt for the outlandish and loud than the “elegant” and boring look? The Philosophy of Aesthetics...

Who Dictates the Aesthetic?

Do you define the aesthetic or does the aesthetic define you? The problem with trends in aesthetics: We allow the aesthetic to define us, rather than the other way around. For example, the trend of “all black everything” or any other fashion trends. Do we follow the aesthetic trend, and try to fit ourselves into this aesthetic...

The Art of Post Processing

Processing your photos as a creative and artistic act — it is an artistic thing that you do! You don’t *need* to post process your photos, you can “pre-process” them!

Life Design

What’s the most important thing to design, designate, control, modify and transfigure in existence? Your life! What does this include? This includes where you live, in which neighborhood you live, the type of apartment or home you live in (the size, the concept, the design aesthetics etc). And the most important thing — figure out the #1 thing...
