"I take complex pictures because the world I experience is complicated and ultimately inexplicable place." **Alex Webb** Hello all. This time as part of an advanced level and challenging theme we would follow celebrated street photographer Alex Webb’s technique while trying with our eye/cameras to explore complex compositions and go beyond eye candies. We would practice against the photography clichés of “Less is More” and “Keep It Simple Stupid” by “Look for More” and “Fill the Frame”, by composing some visually complex photographs which contain more than one element, have more than one point of focus, by pushing the frame to include more and more, but falling short of chaos. “Eye Candy” is a photo that looks cool and clean and has exactly one layer of interest. They look great for about half a second and then there is no reason for your eye to linger any longer. In this outing we would try to take pictures that make the eye to move around and see multiple layers/subjects and action. Have a look at some of the pictures in this event page's album below on the theme. Also do some research on the technique of “Layering” and using “Multiple Subjects” in photography compositions. Here are some useful youtube videos on the subject to get you started: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei5VVqiSH34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei5VVqiSH34) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE3D3NTl8xI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE3D3NTl8xI) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAtAyr2w6yE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAtAyr2w6yE) **Meeting Time and Place:** **3pm** at **Sham Shui Po MTR station,** **Exit A2** (street level) We will meet at **Sham Shui Po MTR station Exit A2** (street level) at **3pm** and then walk around in groups of two to three photographers, then re-group at (venue yet to be decided but would be announced before the outing begins) **5pm** onwards for photo sharing over a drink. Please post **YOUR BEST FIVE i**mages only for this outing on the meetup site. For every image you post, please try to comment on at least one other image, no matter if you think you are qualified to comment or not. You can always give some constructive comments with regard to Colour, Tone, Light, Action, Pattern, Balance, Composition, Visual and Emotional appeal of the image/s. This really helps in sharing and learning from each other. **IMPORTANT:** Please sign up only if you are coming, those not showing up 2x in a row would be taken off the group list while active members would be given a preference over long inactive members, the last minute habitual dropouts and no-shows.

Yoga and Pilates are the good exercises to let you to keep fit, enhance the ability of core muscle to perform well in sports and reduce the risk of getting injury. Finally, we'll do the full body stretching after the exercises to relax.

5.以娛樂為包裝的價值觀輸入 _選擇什麼遊戲，就是傳達什麼世界觀。_ 每一款桌遊背後都潛藏一套價值觀： - 有的強調背叛與欺騙； - 有的鼓勵合作與信任； - 有的呈現資源掠奪與階級制度； - 有的建構烏托邦式秩序。 主辦者長期傾向於選擇某一類型的遊戲，可能並非偶然。這種重複性的選擇，其實就是在潛移默化地輸出一種*特定的世界觀與人際觀*。例如： - 偏好背叛遊戲者，可能潛意識相信「信任是愚蠢的」； - 偏好優勝劣敗機制者，或許認為「人生就是競爭」； - 偏好合作遊戲者，可能渴望「控制團隊節奏」來實現掌控感。 這些價值觀不會明說，但會滲透進參與者的行為模式與認知結構。久而久之，一個常參加特定主辦者活動的群體，可能會逐漸內化那些*被默默灌輸的思想模板*。 👁️ *貼地提醒*：唔係遊戲教你點做人，而係主辦人用遊戲教你點睇世界，左右你價值觀。 --- 6. 以活動為形式的人格測試場 _你係邊類人？主辦者可能已經有答案。_ 某些主辦者對心理學、人格分析、MBTI、九型人格等有濃厚興趣，甚至熱衷於將這些理論應用在活動設計與人群觀察上。這樣的主辦者可能： - 觀察誰在壓力下會妥協、誰會反抗； - 留意誰善於操控局勢、誰容易情緒化； - 測試不同「人格類型」在不同遊戲類型的表現； - 在活動後私下歸類、評價、選擇「下一次要唔要再邀」。 這種行為本質上是一種*非正式的人格分析實驗*，主辦者將參加者當作「樣本」，而不是單純的朋友或玩家。參加者並不知情自己正被歸檔、標籤，甚至可能因此被排除於未來活動之外。 更深層的問題在於：這種分類並非基於專業診斷，而是出於主辦者主觀判斷，容易造成*社交偏見*與*角色定型*。 👁️ *貼地提醒*：你以為你係朋友，可能你只係一個測試結果，與他內心盤算中的一隻棋子。 --- 🧠 小結： 當主辦者的動機從「一起玩得開心」逐漸轉變為「建立影響力」、「操控互動」或「觀察人性」，整個桌遊活動便不再只是娛樂，而是一個充滿潛意識權力結構的微型社會。 參加者若缺乏察覺，很容易就成為這場「心理劇場」中的角色，而未必知道自己正在被觀察、操縱或分類。

🎭 深度剖析：桌遊主辦者的潛在心理操作（第3至4） 3. 利用遊戲作為情緒操控工具 以娛樂為名，精密安排他人情緒反應的即場實驗。 有些主辦者在挑選遊戲時，並不單純以「好玩」作標準，而是偏好選擇那些能激發情緒波動的遊戲——例如高張力的狼人殺、背叛型遊戲如《The Resistance》、甚至是令人沮喪的合作失敗遊戲。這些遊戲的共同點，是它們會在短時間內觸發玩家的信任危機、憤怒、焦慮、挫敗與羞恥。 潛在動機可能包括： - 觀察他人情緒反應，從中獲得主控感； - 在群體中製造戲劇性，以鞏固自己作為「調控者」的地位； - 挑戰玩家心理底線，測試誰能「撐得住場」。 在這樣的設定中，主辦者其實像一位*情緒導演*，而其他人則成為角色。當玩家因遊戲而產生情緒崩潰、爭執或羞辱時，主辦者可能表面上「和事佬」，但實則旁觀整個過程，甚至在內心中記錄每個人的「心理弱點」。 👁️ *貼地提醒*：你以為你喺玩遊戲，但其實你嘅反應可能已經被人默默記低。 --- 4. 在勝負之間引導人際結構重組 操控座位與分組，就是重寫你和誰親近的方式。 主辦者通常擁有「安排誰坐邊、和誰一組」的控制權。這些看似無害的決定，其實可能逐步塑造出人際結構的微妙變化。主辦者透過這種「排兵佈陣」的方式： - 讓某些人更頻繁地合作，從而建立默契或依附； - 故意安排潛在對立者對抗，觀察衝突發展； - 排除特定人選於核心圈層之外，使其邊緣化； - 測試誰在不同組合中「聽話」、「能撐場」、「容易崩潰」。 這種操作不一定出於惡意，但當主辦者無意識地以關係操盤為樂，或當這種安排開始對參與者的真實社交產生影響時，它就變成一種高度隱性的人際干預。 👁️ *貼地提醒*：你以為你贏咗場遊戲，但可能係你被分配咗一個角色。

(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Online-Masterclass-The-Private-Lender-s-Thrival-Guide-14-1-24-2026)**.) Private lending got riskier in 2025—and pretending it didn’t is how lenders are gonna get burned in 2026. Deals are taking longer to sell. Rents aren’t hitting projections, but expenses are exceeding them. And lenders who relied on loose underwriting, minimal paperwork, and “It’s Ok, I trust you” terms are finding out why those habits only work in hot markets. That’s why we’re hosting this all-day, online workshop **designed for people who are already private lenders—or want to be—and want to protect their money in a slower, flatter 2026 market.** You’ll learn how to evaluate deals, borrowers, and paperwork the right way, how to structure safer loans, and how to deal with troubled loans before they become disasters. This session is open to members and non-members at all experience levels. It’s as little as $47 for members and $97 for non-members (which is CHEAP compared to missing even one payment on a private loan!) if you register by January 22nd. The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants receive the recording, so sign up even if you can’t “be there”. Oh, and there’s a 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Online-Masterclass-The-Private-Lender-s-Thrival-Guide-14-1-24-2026)** and register on our website!

Hear how 3 investors went from broke to 8 figures and learn what’s working now in real estate, private money, and scaling your business. 🎟️Register **[HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/broke-to-8-figures-live-panel-open-qa-tickets-1969996398258?aff=cicmeetupapp)** ## **Broke to 8 Figures: Live Panel + Open Q&A with 3 Young Investors Who Built Real Wealth Through Real Estate** A decade ago, none of them were “set.” 10 years ago, these three weren’t millionaires. They weren’t influencers. They were broke, doubting themselves and fighting to make their first deal work…just like a lot of people trying to get into real estate today. Now, two of the Columbus Investors Club’s founders, **Tiffany and** **Josh High**, sit down with **Austin Rutherford**… a fellow Columbus native who went from parking cars as a valet to owning a **$30M+ real estate portfolio.** Together, they’ve flipped and wholesaled **thousands of homes**, raised **millions in private money**, and built businesses that run without them in the day to day… creating both wealth and freedom before 35. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a real conversation about what it actually takes to build something that lasts… the fears they had to face, the habits that changed everything, and the systems that got them there. You’ll laugh, you’ll take notes, and you’ll walk away seeing what’s truly possible no matter where you’re starting from. **What You’ll Learn** * How three broke twenty-somethings built 7–8 figure real estate businesses * The mindset shifts that separate wishful thinking from real wealth * How to raise private money even if you’ve never done a deal * What’s working right now in flipping, wholesaling, and building a portfolio * How to create financial and time freedom through systems and people **Open Q&A - Ask Them Anything About** * Raising private money with confidence * Finding and structuring profitable deals * Getting past fear, self-doubt, or “I’m not ready yet” * Scaling your business without burning out * Building a team that actually performs **Who You’ll Hear From** **Austin Rutherford** – From valet to a $30M+ rental portfolio. He has flipped and wholesaled hundreds of houses alongside his rental portfolio and recently got into commercial deals. **Tiffany & Josh High** – Founders of **Heels Homes** and **Results Driven REI**. They’ve built multiple 7- and 8-figure companies, including a fully virtual real estate operation closing 250+ deals a year. Through Results Driven REI, they help experienced investors install the people, processes, and infrastructure needed to build a truly self-managing company. **Event Details** **Location:** *To Follow* **Date & Time:** January 29th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) 🎟️Register **[HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/broke-to-8-figures-live-panel-open-qa-tickets-1969996398258?aff=cicmeetupapp)**
