4/4 🧵
In this 21st century, instead of punishing or blocking, we should demand technical clarity. Aesthetic sensitivity—the eye for contrast and the soul of the image—remains human, but trust between author and viewer is only maintained with the truth up front.

Greetings to all, dear friends. 🤍✨

We must inhabit a middle ground. The key is radical honesty: those using AI must always certify it with transparency, no disguises. And those committed to the pure photography we love must be able to highlight that human and physical authorship.

I understand the frustration of Liv Junqueira or James Rowan; photography is a physical "being there." Yet, we can't ignore the author cites Midjourney. The conflict, as Jochen notes, stems from mixing icons like Leica with algorithms, creating friction.

​I’ve followed this thread with interest, from @robertpictures.bsky.social’s concern regarding identity to Ivan P.’s view on tools. It’s a necessary debate that places us on a complex frontier between tradition and the new era.

It is a pleasure. Seeing Baku's history breathe through your monochrome work is truly inspiring.

Let's keep capturing that essence. 🖤🤍✨

Ese contraluz sobre el Partenón y la postura del felino cobran una fuerza distinta bajo una narrativa en español tan bien cuidada.

Rigor histórico y maestría visual en blanco y negro.

Es de agradecer que un perfil apueste por divulgar nuestro idioma con esta calidad.

El texto que acompaña la obra de Alsteens es tan nítido como el contraste de la propia toma.

That dark tunnel doesn't just frame; it compresses the light toward the musician, creating a radical contrast that separates the raw graffiti from the architectural elegance beyond. Impeccable perspective, Rob.

It is a pleasure, Ian. Your work with light and infrared textures deserves more than just a passing glance.

Happy to dive into your gallery. 🖤🤍✨

Exactly, Dave!

That small human touch breaks the geometry and gives the light the meaning I was looking for. I'm glad you caught that nuance in the contrast.

It's a pleasure to connect our worlds with little nuance.

Heartfelt thank you 🖤🤍✨

The Brexit Connection.

Beyond the grain of the photo, what prevails is the harmony between two worlds that decided to shake the international board.

The contrast between eternal stone and human fragility is technically masterful in your framing.

The light bathing the baroque figures against the deep shadows of the arch creates a powerful narrative.

Jack, you've captured that indifference of the heights towards the earthly bustle.

The elongated shadow stretching towards the chapel breaks the stillness of the scene with immense power.

Ian, you have captured a superb infrared contrast where light seems to emanate from the stone and branches, creating an almost spectral atmosphere.

The subtlety of that leaf emerging from the stony gloom is magnificent, Simon.

You've captured a superb contrast of textures where organic fragility defies the mineral hardness of the surroundings.

An intimate perspective that grants a monumental scale to the small.

The zone system mastery here is evident. The contrast between the intricate branch network and the pristine snow creates a tactile, almost silvery visual texture.

You've captured the frozen silence with a light that truly breathes.

The snow resting on the structure creates an almost hypnotic visual rhythm.

The abstraction of organic shapes against the dark void is pure visual poetry, Michelle.

The icy stillness of Kimberley is perfectly captured in your framing, Sean.

The contrast between the verticality of the dead trunk and the density of the forest emphasizes a profound solitude.

A masterful interpretation of winter light and the texture of cold.

The transition from the deep blacks of the trunks to the infinite white of the frozen water reveals an impeccable technique.

Dear amigo Jaycee, you have captured that absolute stillness where perspective dissolves into the mist.

Great execution, Kevin!

That high perspective you mention doesn't hurt the shot at all; instead, it emphasizes the isolation of the branches against the liquid canvas.

The architecture of Baku takes on a timeless strength through your lens, Asif.

You master that transition between centuries with balanced contrast and a perspective that honors the stone.

It was a pleasure! That silence you've captured is truly evocative and speaks volumes of your skill with the lens.

It is a pleasure! Keep sharing that vision. 🖤✨

You have more than succeeded, John.

A pleasure to contemplate work with that level of intent. 🖤 🤍 ✨

Black and white allows us to read between the lines and connect in a purer way.

Thanks for your words, Michelle. 🖤🤍✨

A pleasure! We'll keep sharing the passion for monochrome. 🖤🤍✨

It is a pleasure, Luis. I believe that a great photograph deserves to be looked at with the same soul it was captured with.

Glad you enjoy my vision of your work 🖤 🤍 ✨

Capturing that raw, biting energy is a true skill.

It’s a pleasure to connect through such powerful monochrome work, amigo John. 🖤🤍✨

You're most welcome, amigo 🦋✨️

It's a pleasure, Jenny. 🖤🤍✨

It is a pleasure that my words accompany your work.

The strength of that black and white deserved a deep interpretation. 🖤🤍✨
