Yes Tony you are spot on with your analysis of this situation. This was a headline post on Petapixel yesterday. It speaks to just what I was saying. Imagen’s New AI Profile Shop Empowers Photographers of All Levels I'm not for sure how much longer my skillset will be relevant except to a...

Tony, one of the difficult aspects of image critiquing is the vast difference in knowledge and experience of individuals and their monitors/screens. It also depends on the end result wishing to be achieved. This can vary dramatically from person to person. My background is heavily analog based...

Yes, Gianluca I have and am still. What I am addressing is the path forward. The general public and even some who consider themselves professionals are more than happy to leave the decision making to a piece of software. I on the other hand prefer REAL intelligence and knowledge when it comes to...

This type of thing is so personally subjective. How an image appears on a screen can be so much different than a print. The philosophy of image editing seems almost archaic as AI takes over. Just click on an unwanted object or subject and it's removed. Does anyone really want to know what I...

That's what we all say!:)

30x40 is a nice size to allow viewers to 'feel' the images and not just view the images. What body of work was this? I have helped produce numerous exhibitions over the years and you are so right about the financial investment. Especially if you use museum glass or Optium museum acrylic. I had...

Several of these images could almost be mistaken for macro work. I am fascinated with work that creates visual conflict. Images lacking in ways to judge scale, the third image especially. Is that steam rising or are those clouds? Nice work.

Welcome Antonio. There is a great range of talented photographers/artists here. If you have any questions please ask because there is probably someone who can help. Just like Gianluca did. My talents are more in the digital darkroom, processing RAW files, retouching/editing and finally...

Paul, I recommended you to Scott Ferguson, a 35mmc contributor just because of stuff like this. He needs some kind of rewind lever for his Leica M2. You're amazing!

Thanks Paul. I once had a classic mustang collector approach me about drawing each of his cars but nothing ever came of it.

Yes Gary. It was this skill that led me into photo retouching. The ability to render fine details by hand blends perfectly with working on photographs. Pencils (graphite and colored) brushes and digital Wacom pens with pad. I discovered my love for drawing while in the 5th grade. I still have...

Paul, Thanks for that amazing over-story and photos. We have a lot of similarities in our career stories. I've always been the behind- the- scenes guy producing the billable work. I've produced numerous photo exhibition works for various photographers over the years. Most recently I was honored...

WOW! That sounds amazing. But I know it was a lot of hard work. Do you have one build that still stands out in your memory? My brother-in-law was a car fancier. He didn't restore or build, just own. One was a T-bucket, I think that's what he called it. He also owned a couple classic Rivieras, a...

You'd certainly be stylin' driving one of those cars. The instrument panel on that next to last shot sure brings back memories. More metal just in the construction of the dash than in many new cars.:)

Gianluca, Here's my contribution. A local car dealership was having a 'Monster Sale'. I thought it would be the perfect use of some newly acquired Kodak Ektar 25. The year was 1989. This is part of my Dallas County photo series, now approaching 50 years of documentation(1978-?), that I hope to...
