Antonio, when I began photographing the Harvest Festival in 1986 I gave no thought to the future. I just was drawn to the subject matter and didn't think about all the changes that would occur in the following decades. As it has turned out this body of work is probably one of the largest...

Yes Gary. As I looked at it I thought to myself "it has a painterly look". Then I saw your comment.

The small farming community where I grew up had a donut shop called the Spudnut. Not for sure why it was named that. It was part of the local fabric. Going inside for a donut was an experience in and of itself. Like so many things in life I took it for granted that they would always be there...

Let's just leave it at that.😏

But it's so much better and faster if AI can do it for you. You wouldn't want to have to think too much!;) Developing your own personal style using AI. Isn't that an oxymoron?

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.
