How’s it going, everyone? I haven’t been posting too much recently and I just kind of wanted to explain why.
If you don’t want to watch the video, I’ll cut a long story short. I’ve been thinking about where sharing my imagery fits on the Internet, and what the impact of that might be, whether it’s an image being scraped for AI purposes, or being seen/not being seen by real people on the Internet. Of course that stretches to my website as well, which has been scraped more times than I can count recently. I’m really big on highlighting the negative ramifications that AI has on copyright and ownership, seeing it as one of the biggest rights erosions in recent times that specifically target a minority industry(creative), but an industry that’s so many rely on. So, I’ve been stuck in a bit of a paradox trying to figure out whether I want to keep sharing work on the Internet or not.
I thought about only sharing crops, I thought about not sharing anything at all, I thought about switching to more BTS/talking head stuff (which I might do anyway), and a few other options, including bottling everything up and keeping it to myself.
However, that is where ideas go to die. I’ve decided that I need to lean in, take the rough with the smooth, and keep sharing, knowing that my next image or idea will probably be better than the last.
Anyway, hope you’re all good. The world seems to be getting crazier by the day, so look after yourselves, and be kind to the people around you. ✌️
