If you're trying to be hip, be hip / April 14, 2013 by Richard

From the first electrifying notes of Miles Davis’ trumpet in the 1950s to the ferocity of Miles’ funk in the 1980s. Miles has been such inspiration for so many artists and music lovers. Some of Miles' quotes are biting and cut to the core of what Miles' street wise view of the world was, some capture the essence of the brilliant mind of Miles Davis quite well.

"A woman's loyalty is tested when her man has nothing. A man's loyalty is tested when she has everything!"

Cicely Tyson and Miles Davis

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.
