Since the Flickr community is getting older and older, I’d like to ask you all to take care of yourselves in this heat (40 degrees in France).
And if you’re younger, please look out for your older loved ones!
(I’ve been very busy these past few days with work and my loved ones, actually. I’m slowly getting back to Flickr…)
Our Christmas Cactus usually blooms a couple of weeks after Christmas, but it looks like it may live up to it's name this year... :)
I'm not sure if the bonfires on the levee have ever been cancelled before, but, you know...it's 2020.
Merry Christmas to you and please stay safe!
Something I cooked up this morning for SlidersSunday group.
Is it over done? Sure. That's the point. :)

It was a wet day for shooting, but ended for us with a slight dash of color.

Becky hates the ornamental grass that I planted a few years ago, but I look forward to seeing the seedheads at this time of year...so there...

swirly smoke of a total of three incense sticks. No flash, but lighting with an LED torch from the side and a multi-coloured string of lights
I flipped the photo horizontally
one of the images I took in January for Macro Mondays - theme: smoke ... I had fun and snapped away back then. I thought it might fit the Halloween mood right now ; ))
I wanted to talk a little about Artificial Intelligence and my purpose is to engage other photographers in a thoughtful discussion. I have already reached out to friends of mine who are photographers that I don't know from Flickr but in real life (What is that?!?!) and have heard their perspectives. Basically, most photographers use Photoshop or Light Room to some extent to manipulate photos and that has been happening for some time and has admittedly become something I use too but, at some point, I am worried that humans aren't going to be using their brains at all and then what's the point of being human???
I've heard about some of the ideas behind being the creative impulse still and basically being a sort of still life director of what you want. I think there's a real economic advantage in terms of being able to have incredible backgrounds for portrait photos you've taken, too, from what I have heard.
But, where I feel like I am very much drawing the line at is street photography. It took quite a long time for me personally to work up the nerve to do street photography myself. I just was so worried I would inadvertently get people mad by taking their photos. Yet, the moment you ask the person in front of you of you have permission to take their photograph (even if the answer is yes), you eliminate the spontaneity of that moment when this human was existing in a space simply being just and only themselves and that is something important to consider. Over the years with facial recognition software, I've become a little more conflicted, especially at political protests, because my need to document the moment should never surpass the need for personal privacy and protections. Weighing all of these ethical dilemmas results in a serious migraine. AI would surely eliminate some of these fears.
On the flip side, the reason I was drawn to street photography has a lot to do with my internal need to capture what it means to be human and a lot of that is lost when you resort to AI where it's all your own ideas vs. a chance to learn something from others, risky or not. When you put yourself out there to capture that moment, you have to wait, you have to use split of the moment reflexes, and you have to use pretty much every facet of your brain's sulci and gryi. It challenges you both philosophically and neurologically. You learn to be an acute judge of micro-expressions, patterns of movement, and predictor of what may happen now and next from thousands of possibilities. You might be the only one there to capture a specific moment (Which is why I sometimes enjoy this more than concert photography) and all of this is in addition to being able to gauge a sense of light, shadow, saturation levels, and perspective. It really requires a higher level of cognitive reasoning, risk, and patience that photographing portraits, nature, or concerts doesn't always involve (although sometimes does).
Basically, are we going to keep using our brains? Because, AI can allow a person who has had a stroke to control their speech areas and communicate or AI can contribute to the obsoluteness of true artists who are yearning to document real moments in the world.
Then again, are there any genuine moments if everything is from the perspective of the photographer, a human privileged enough to have a camera?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

Looking out from under my carport at my own personal "murder shack", during a rainy day.
No rain you can actually see, these were taking during a pause.

A split-second moment captured as a Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) skims low across the water, its wingtip elegantly lifting just after breaking the surface. The shot highlights the sharp contrast of its dark summer plumage head against the soft, rippling tones of the water, complete with a delicate trail of water droplets and a mirrored reflection below.
Framed naturally through a soft, out-of-focus foreground, this image relies entirely on field craft and patience to capture wildlife exactly as it behaves in the natural world. This is a work of pure photography—captured entirely in-camera with no digital manipulation, trick photography, or AI enhancements.
If you had a close friend or relative whom you have not heard from a long time, and who wore a silver signet ring on one finger, I may have some important information about him…

I would wish everyone a happy Labor Day, but I don't recognize it as a holiday. In my 40+ years, working as a carpenter, I don't remember ever once taking off on Labor Day. A working man's holiday? Not even close.
