The World in its self.

The World in its Self, part II

Since AI popped up its ugly fake head I have been working on images that at first glance may look like I have been dabbling in the artificial, but in I have been making images that are all done ‘in camera’. It started with Penumbra and has continued as I find more ways to mess with the digital worlds mind, or at least that’s what I think as a human. Perhaps this is a vain attempt to show off some ‘old fashioned’ photography skills, or perhaps I just cannot bring myself to do an empty landscape..

I have often said it doesn’t matter how you get there, just get there. Its a mantra I still go by. But the fact remains, I want to be the sole creator of my work, and maybe work a little hard to produce something. If a photography project is easy, then perhaps the project itself may be lacking. If we are not challenged, then really, what is the purpose? Without challenge, there is no fulfillment.

“Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe..the starry heaven above me and the moral law within me. “

Immanuel Kant

The world in itself.
