  • I consider myself an artist. I work with sound and image. AI productions are beautiful and good because they are based on the work of artists who create beauty and goodness. The day AI finishes killing the artists it draws inspiration from, and has no one’s work left to feed its algorithms, art will be dead. This is what those who promote AI as it is today are fostering. This is just my opinion and reflects only my views.







  • You have to realize that this is not macrophotography though.

    Macrophotography is a type of photography where you take really close-up pictures of small things to make them look big and clear. It helps you see things that your eyes might not notice, like the tiny hairs on a bee or the patterns on a butterfly’s wing.

    While some telephoto lenses have a “macro mode” that lets you focus closer than usual, they don’t work as well as a true macro lens. However, you can use extension tubes or close-up filters with a telephoto lens to get better macro shots.

    You can also try the reverse lens technique. It involves flipping a regular lens backward using a reverse adapter ring.

    When reversed, the lens works like a magnifying glass, allowing you to capture extreme close-ups—great for macro photography on a budget. This method works best with a 50mm lens, but you lose autofocus and aperture control, so you have to adjust settings manually.












  • I completed a 365 challenge a while ago, and while it taught me plenty, the biggest lesson was about finding an interesting subject and an interesting way of capturing it every single day. My audience really became my second teacher throughout the journey.

    I finally made it to day 365, mostly sharing photos of rocks and leaves. By then, my audience was pretty worn out and relieved it was done, and I learned that it’s perfectly fine not to have something to say every day, or at all, and share it. It’s all about recognizing that and accepting it.

    That being said, go out and take photos.
