I might create an alter-ego for my photography who was an ex-City trader... I think galleries like seeing that in photographers biographies as, well, it certainly seems to happen a lot in Photoland!

The miserable bastard who did this just got a trillion dollar pay day. There's no karma, there's no cosmic justice. There's just horrible people who more often than not never gave any consequences for their actions in life.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Do I try to email a photo editor who hasn't replied to me in 13 years?
I gotta, right?
Like the ghost of Christmas past I find a certain delight in still existing, even without their patronage.

Adobe Lightrooms new AI 'Assisted Culling'... yep, it sounds as bad as it is!
Would you let the AI decide which photographs from your widest edit are the keepers?

Just had an email from a photo gallery hustling for portfolio reviews. They didn't say they cost anything in the email so I hit them back as if they were free.
I'll let you know what happens.

A little cringe... I thought Matt Stuart was a Magnum Photographer, someone corrected me once it went live. Ha!
It just goes to show how little I pay attention to Magnum these days, which was funnily enough the 2nd point I make in the video.

I was trying to plug in my rode microphone to my MacBook Pro. To be plugged in I need to unplug my power cable to the Mac.
I feel like whenever I record on it without power plugged in my audio is delayed.
my rode microphone isn't picked up by my current usb/usb-c multi adapter

The photo influencers are tricking photographers to go to camera trade shows. It's quite amazing where we find ourselves.

Looking at all the wonderful photographs of of June Goodall. And knowing that I had the chance to photograph one night on a corporate assignment. It was a bar at one in the morning with no lighting on af all and they banned me from using flash. Fun being a jobbing photographer isn't it?
