Sometimes I don’t know what I’m supposed to be looking at in peoples’ photos cuz the shit is so far away. We wanna see those juicy details!! The first time I put a long lens on my camera I realized you don’t have to do very much or go very far to make the world look interesting. It’s like when you do shrooms and every little detail in your field of vision is its own universe. The 100mm is the perfect tool to explore those little universes. I know, I know, you could just use a 35mm lens and move closer to what you’re photographing. But it doesn’t look the same – the 100mm flattens space in a way that makes life look weird as hell. Believe me, that .5x button on the iPhone camera is burned into my muscle memory too, but next time, try reaching for the 2x – it’s a whole new world over there.

There was this beautiful moon that my mediocre phone camera failed to capture but my friend had a far better phone/camera. So, just thinking sometimes we have to look through someone else’s better lens to get a more accurate picture.

We’ve all got some pretty decent zooms on our phone cameras, why not put them to use.

I tell my wife I love her like 5 times a day. It feels so good to say! And every time my friends say they love me, I feel so honored, I’m like “damn… me???” You can really make someone’s day when you say it. Showing love often gets spun in the opposite way, but let’s be real for a second – HIDING the love is some wussy shit. And life’s too short for that!

If you’re anything like me, your body feels completely separate from your mind, which feels completely separate from your heart, and most of your internal dialogue is you getting mad at yourself for doing some shit that another part of you disapproves of. Every part of us matters, but if we’re often neglecting one of these guys it’s definitely the vessel that houses this mess to begin with. Your body needs sleep bro! You’d be surprised at how many of these voices start to quiet when you actually let your body do its thing once in a while and decide when it wants to wake up. And you can’t feel an ounce of guilt for not setting an alarm, otherwise this whole experiment is negated. If you really wanna wake up early, then go to bed early (I’m leaving this piece of advice in writing so I can finally learn it myself).

Most of the time, when I’m mad about something, I’ll think back on it months later and be like “wait why did I even care about that?” We should collectively all try that with Winter. The air smells so fucking good. Like where is that mystery campfire coming from?? I feel like every time I step outside and take a breath, I level up. I get that you think you don’t like the cold. It took me a while to understand that “acquired taste” means a taste that I can STILL acquire. Now when I don’t like food, I just eat it until I do. This January, when your unadjustable New York apartment heat is cranked so high that you can smell the lead paint melting off the walls, take a step outside onto your stoop for a breath of that crispy ass chimney-scented air, and remember DBG sent you there.
