Photography has evolved from labor-intensive chemical processes to instant digital formats. Key changes include the shift from film to digital sensors, faster exposure times, and the rise of smartphone photography and social media, boosting user engagement and changing the art form forever…the photo above is a reimagined photo I took a few years back…yes AI was involved in this photo…It’s nothing I could not have done 3 years ago…..without current AI…It just made it faster and at my age time is everything… People opposed to using AI are often traditionalists, similar to those who once claimed color photography ruined the art. They resisted digital technology, insisting film was the only true medium. Now, many of them use digital cameras without recalling their previous stance. Time moves on, and so do opinions.
