Growing plants that attract aphids inside, like peppers, provides a beautiful environment for bugs to thrive. With bugs in your house, practicing macro photography is super easy! I ordered a lot of convergent ladybugs who are loving all my pepper plants, and they are super fun to photograph!
I just went through a free webinar about growing a podcast, and I wanted to share what I learned from the training! Many things hit home for me, and I wanted to share them with you if you are interested in growing a podcast. The main and most crucial step is being specific about your show and what it is about. Being too general and broad makes it hard to find a large audience. With this newfound information, I'll be renaming this podcast "Enthusiastic Talks with Sam" and creating a second podcast specifically about macro photography :).

More enthusiastic talks about programming! Cloud computing is just so neat! The project I worked on is something that you can try out for yourself if you want a simple "serverless" website to play with on Amazon Web Services. The blog guide can be found here: https://sammy.life/2022/programming/aws-amplify/. Hit me up on twitter or Instagram @pocket.macro if you have problems with the guide!

There are so many beautiful things surrounding us all day every day, and taking the time to look at and appreciate them is quite fun! Photography is a great way to appreciate these beautiful things since it allows you to focus on them more while capturing the beauty you see with a camera.

Web programming is super fun, and it is very handy. Being able to create custom programs to handle pictures, files, and information from other users over the internet is pretty neat. Thanks to projects like AWS Amplify, building web applications is much easier than it used to be! I’ll get a tutorial with my little project that I discuss out on my blog at https://sammy.life by March 27th :D.

Voice actors are amazing, and there are many different ones that I really enjoy listening to. Thanks to all the anime I watch, it is fun hearing the same person voicing different characters 😁. For something fun to try out, I'll start practicing to see if my goofy voice can be used for something!

There are many similarities between photographing people and bugs and a few key differences; If you do one, you can apply many of the same principles to the other! The most significant difference, which is fun to think about, is that you can tell people how to pose, where to look, and how to move, while with bugs, you must work with how they pose and move :D.

Change is the only thing that is constant, and I am inspired to talk about change thanks to the lovely time change 🤣. It is normal to get into habits of doing certain things that may be tedious, and it is okay to identify and change those things to make them more enjoyable 😁.

Editing photos is fun and it lets you add your own unique style to all your photos. By doing this for a long time, you’ll get into a consistent unique style that will let others easily recognize your work. I personally enjoy using Adobe Lightroom and the Nik Collection by DXO; these make editing fun for me.

A jack of all trades and a master of none is often better than a master of one 😀. The more things that you learn how to do, the more ways you can creatively make solutions to problems! That is my philosophy, and I think learning is fun and I apply this to my daily life. By learning the basics of something new, you can add it to your toolbelt for use at a later time, and when you build up many different skills you'll be surprised with yourself with how different things work together 😀.

We are surrounded by amazing things all day every day, and all you have to do to see them is to look for them! Taking time to stop and smell the roses is a great stress reliever and it makes you feel great!

The most freeing thing to do is do what you feel like doing without worrying about what others are thinking or saying. Both good and bad influences from others can change the way you do things, and the best way to be yourself is to not listen to others 😀. You do your thing your way and throw out everyone's opinions and thoughts!

We are going from cold to hot, and back and forth 😂; at least there are signs of spring starting! Spring is a wonderful time of year when all sorts of life start growing and becoming beautiful. I'm excited for spring to plant all my lovely hot hot peppers!

Freezing bubbles is super fun, and one of my favorite things to do in the winter! At the time of recording this, it is -9F/-23C degrees outside, and I froze some bubbles on a little LED candle! It is quite fun and I highly recommend doing it! Here are my bubble recipes:

Winter has its own unique beauty and snow has a magical way of making any landscape look amazing! I stumbled on a blog post about 26 things that make winter the best and referenced their point of view as well. Snow also looks amazing up close and it is fun to know that each snowflake is unique and special. Freezing bubbles is also quite fun, and something that would be hard to do in a hot climate :).

Video games are fun, and I've spent many hours playing them my whole life! With the rise of NFTs, talks about the Metaverse, and advancing technology I think video games are going to become even more interesting over the next few years!

By doing something specific each day you can incrementally improve drastically over time! I use this process to improve my photography by doing it every day! I first started by setting a goal of taking 100 photos every day. By doing this, my photos six months later were drastically better than the ones I first captured! You can apply this simple process to anything that you want to get better at. Draw something simple every day to improve your drawing, or write a page every day to improve your writing; anything you want to improve, do it a little every day!

Drones are amazing little things, and they are a fun, safe, and easy way to capture amazing aerial photos and videos! If you want to sell your drone photos and videos as a service or sell stock drone content, a Part 107 UAV license is required. I took the course offered by Pilot Institute (which took about 5 days online), scheduled my exam, and passed with an 88%! It isn't too challenging to get the license, and I highly recommend investing the time if you are thinking about getting a drone.

Responsibility and being responsible are fun things that can really help you grow as an individual. I think it is fun to swap the word responsibility for dependability; it has a similar meaning and has more positive vibes to it. Saying I am a dependable person feels better, to me anyway, than saying I am a responsible person 😃.
