Imaging and Slow Internet. What is Happening to the Metaverse Trend?

Posted on by martinbelgica
What is happening to the Metaverse Trend? Tech and it's problem with Hacking is a risk that most people like me do not want to invest money in. The 'weary' vibes is strong in todays digital web landscape. Owning digital assets registered as token assets or potential money bit is there but a risky investment. Making it on the other hand is cool but with no promise of selling or making money. Money is still slim as of 10/31/2023. HAPPY HALLOWEEN///////// My internet is so slow that finishing work is hard. Doing things offline is better. Unplugging and doing work I think accomplishes more than waiting for the browser to load with inconsistency. I no longer have goals for the...Read More

Posted on by martinbelgica
The hypno website project Mahiyoshi マ痺よし 2038 Visual audio scape portal is pulled due to name use. The project was supposed to be an AV and interactive website that stimulates the brainwaves to experience altered states of consciousness via stimulation using visual, audio and scripts.

3rd Quarter 2023 : End Game

Posted on by martinbelgica
Doing Photography since 2014 - 2023 is a fun journey but sometimes when an economy is dying we need to adapt to it. Photography is now Web Imaging from Ai to human creativity this is the new way of imaging. Let us see what we can do in the future. Photography as a main medium of expression is very limiting. It was a good soft marketing attempt but still social media is fucked up with trash traffic and opening a studio in a more expensive commercial space is a waste of money. I will be going into blogging again about my thoughts on science and religion and focus on investments. CIao Good bye Photography and Hello Web Imaging. [caption id="attachment_7029"...Read More

Cause and Effect My thoughts on Causality and Karma

Posted on by martinbelgica
KARMA AND CAUSALITY What is karma? Karma is causality. Many people believe that karma is judgement from the lord or deity, but it is not. Karma is basically the observed reality of effects based on causes. Let us go into a probable past where nomads were studying the map of the plains and trying to navigate the best place for food. The nomads will certainly make mistakes but committing a lot of mistakes leads to the tribes suffering or even death. To solve this problem one great sage, prophet or thinker will establish a form of notation or record keeping on what actions result to what effect, such writings and record keeping is like a book of karma.Example : Do not...Read More

Studio Update and Self Portraits

Posted on by martinbelgica
I have some updates on the studio. I have added curtains and clothing hanger for wardrobe. I have also installed a full body mirror and a half body mirror for makeup and fitting. There is still a longway to go for this photography studio. For the mean time I took some self portraits and did some random recording to test my equipment and its response to my chosen internet provider and also the flow of work that could happen in the future. STUDIO MIRRORS DOING NOTHING AND THINKING SOMETHING Do you know the feeling of having a place to do work but not have anywork to do besides buying stuff to make things better?

Cleaning Time : Winter Time

Posted on by martinbelgica
I just fixed my Globe internet connection, it works fine now. Cleaning the studio is so boring that I decided to take some photos for fun. Cleaning the floors makes me want to by some good smelling floor wax. Cleaning is a good habit that I have not yet developed in myself as a virtue. I clean my room and the studio I rent once or twice a month, this is not a good number. I should be cleaning the office studio more than 4 times a month as a decent base. THE RECLINER FEELS SO GOOD The past days I have been doing some video work due to lack of ideas about photography. I think I can do a...Read More

Yoga and Photography

Posted on by martinbelgica
8 limbs of Yoga and PhotographyYOGA AND PHOTOGRAPHYHello, What is my ultimate goal in life? The answer to that is to perfect my dhyana samadhi in the ways of purposeful enlightenment. Why photography and not just be a monk inside a cave? The answer to that is how can enlightenment be experienced visually and auditory when it is not visual and audible for some but an experience. How can I translate the experience of samadhi to media. Another question arises from the question of why photography? My goal in life is to translate my experience of samadhi in film or imagery.SAMADHIMy samadhi experience is as simple as just being lucky with my pranayama. I was doing my pranayama work and...Read More

Japan A trip of Questions and Amazements

Posted on by martinbelgica
Japan Nihon...A very interesting space on earth. A land full of culture and heritage leaping with technological force. Seeing Japan is like acquiring a cube. A land with different faces. My family went to Osaka, Nagoya and Kyoto. I being a very relaxed person, do not push forward towards something without the necessary training to perform tasks. Japan was a strong land to deal with and so my Nihongo was my downfall. Interesting people are Japanese people without a decent amount of Japanese words counts to me as not taking photographs based on the standards of the land, expect my photographs to be just a beginner level Nihon taking photos of a very advanced level Nihon. Japan is an advanced...Read More
