Limits / January 12, 2013 by Richard

I am impressed by people who test their and humanity's limits. Then there's something about flying guys like the legendary astronaut and hero Neil Armstrong or the skydiver Felix Baumgartner and his daredevil leaps above the Earth 128,100ft (24 miles; 39km) from the edge of space at max velocity: 1,342.8 km/h; Mach 1.24 in 9 mins 3 secs.Herbert Nitsch with the current world record for freediving at an incredible depth of 214 meters, he is a pilot normally. And the incredible Jeb Corlissand his super extreme video.

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.
