30 meters wave

Fly high / January 29, 2013 by Richard

This incredible Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara broke his own world record by surfing a 30 meters wave during 41 seconds off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. Again, I am impressed by people who test their and humanity's limits.

As a photographer navigating the AI era, we are confronted with numerous fresh opportunities and, at the same time, potential challenges. The question looms: can we not only survive but also harness the full potential of these new possibilities, especially with the advent of mega digital cameras in this emerging photographic age?

Certainly, AI tools have enabled enthusiastic individuals to craft a diverse array of captivating artificial images. However, the question arises: can these creators truly be called photographers? In my view, the distinction lies in the ownership of photographs and the associated intellectual property rights. This consideration has made me considerably more discerning in terms of what and how I choose to publish my images.
