In photography, technical fear often kills creative opportunity.

In my latest lesson for the "Starting Photography, Properly" series, I dive into the psychological baggage many digital photographers carry regarding ISO. We discuss the "Gear Arms Race" vs. "Consumer Fear" and why your eyes are lying to you when you zoom in to 400% on a screen.

Every business is a brand.
Every person is a brand.
The ones who ignore it don’t make it go away.
They just hand control to someone else.
You’re being perceived. You’re being remembered. You’re being talked about.
The only choice you have is whether you shape that narrative—or let it shape you.

Power in Errata isn’t abstract. You can see it in the walls, the uniforms, the stolen symbols.

We built this world so players experience what happens when authority isn’t earned, and what it costs to challenge it.

Every alliance, every betrayal, every act of looking away changes how the world responds to you.

That’s the point.
