Saw this on the other site. This perfectly articulates everything that is wrong with AI "art". Well said. We all need to stop engaging with AI whenever possible. It's bad for our soul, and for the environment, and our economy.

I'm up early on a Saturday and being productive, i.e. writing a new blog post. :-)

The winds and rain of fall are coming. I love this time when you can feel it in the air.

Photowalk around the inner east side of Portland. Public murals are one of my favorite things. The world needs more of them.

Summer light is coming to a close. It'll be gray skies for a while and this photographer couldn't be happier about it.

Wow, this one goes back a looooooong way to my days in San Francisco. I'm getting so old that I can look back on my work and mark really specific periods of time, which is both comforting and scary.

I've had a week from hell running around getting a huge conference done. The end is in sight. Just one more day to go for some sweet and utter relief.

More studio images. I think mentally I'm gearing up for the winter when nobody wants to go outside anymore. Except for me of course, so I end up making pictures of a lot of naked trees.

Very expired film in the studio. When I say studio I mean my living room during the height of COVID. But yes, we'll stick with the fancy word and call it a "studio".

New blog post. Sometimes I dearly miss the old Polaroid film stocks that seem to have been forgotten.

Missing Polaroid Type 65 — Alexis Kennedy Photography

I dearly miss Polaroid Type 65 film. I used to work with it quite often. It was a fantastic peel apart instant film that provided both a positive print and a negative all in one. Fantastic stuff that ...

A little ray of light making its way across the universe and right straight into the lens of my camera. What an honor!

I finished Sally Mann's new book on the plane. Very good read if you are someone who is a lifelong artist or writer.

Also... I miss home.

NO! NO! NO! I do *not* want an AI assistance tool that will only turn my words into a generic mess not even worthy of a bargain bin book dust jacket on sale at the airport.

*sigh*, Anyway, it's a rainy lazy Sunday, which is not a bad thing at all. Enjoy the photograph!

I think we can file this under "well duh!!!" It will of course fall on def ears when it comes to the people who need to hear it though.

Alexis Kennedy @alexis-images.bsky.social · 25d

Thank you. :-) This is a mostly direct scan of the negative so neither. It's a rather underexposed frame to be sure though and I lightened it slightly after scanning.

Just finished Borne a couple of weeks ago. Started it on a plane from Chicago to PDX. Didn't put it down until I got to the last page.

I'm glad you are talking about this. It doesn't feel like enough people are. The entire planet is a community and it makes no sense to isolate ourselves from that. The United States is powerful because of our friends. That's been true since the Revolutionary War.

Dark sky on 35mm film. I'm looking forward to the season when every picture I take there is a storm on the horizon.

The world is a little too insane for me today so I'm going to find my zen without being connected to cyberspace.

David Lynch mural in inner Southeast Portland. There are a lot of wonderful murals in this neighborhood and its become a bit of a public art gallery in its own right.
