Note from 27 January 2023

Fellow photographers, where in EXIF/IPTC meta data would you (or are you already) put a description of the photo?

I'm not talking about the legend, more the description of the actual content of the image, how you would describe it to blind people.

Couldn't find anything yet in Lightroom's UI.

    Carrying a camera

    Having my phone in my pocket doesn’t trigger anything but distraction. It can do everything, and so I feel nothing in particular about it. A physical camera takes photos, but it also makes me think about seeing. And I like that.

    AI Is Not Your Friend

    This is a slippery slope, and we’re already on it. Seeing basic functions like editing RAW files suddenly flooded by “AI powered tools” is the canary in the coal mine. We should all be very concerned about where this is taking photography as an art form.
