Bruce Lee canvas

Posted on by timothyblake

Bruce Lee is one of the most renowned martial artists in history and his influence on the world cannot be overstated. From his groundbreaking approach to martial arts to his philosophy on life, Bruce Lee has inspired countless people across the globe.

One of Bruce Lee’s most famous quotes, which I have heard countless times, is incredibly impactful: “Because you might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there. You must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.” This quote perfectly encapsulates Bruce Lee’s philosophy on life and his approach to martial arts.

Throughout his life, Bruce Lee faced numerous challenges and obstacles. However, he never let these setbacks deter him from pursuing his dreams and pushing himself to the limit. His unwavering determination and steadfast commitment to his craft are truly inspirational and continue to motivate people to this day.

Last month, I spent some time producing artwork that I then had printed onto canvas. I’m thrilled with how it turned out and ecstatic that I can finally bring the favourite quote to life.

Extendended traveling across Asia

Posted on by timothyblake

Traveling for an extended period is an incredible opportunity you should take advantage of at least once in your life. It allows you to disconnect from your daily routine and immerse yourself in different cultures, learning about fascinating traditions, religions, and beliefs. You’ll also get to try new foods, meet new people, and see stunning landscapes you never knew existed.

I was lucky enough to have the chance to embark on a long-term journey across Asia, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One of the best things about traveling for an extended period is that you have the chance to reflect on your life, your goals, and your priorities. You’ll have plenty of time to think and to enjoy the simpler things in life. It’s a great way to disconnect from the constant hustle and bustle of modern life and to reconnect with yourself.

I took the opportunity to capture some of the most memorable moments of my journey through the lens of my camera. I’ve created a gallery on my Flickr account where you can view some of the photos taken throughout my trip. I hope my photos inspire you to embark on your own adventure and to explore the world around you.
