Hi Andy,

Thank you for opening up the discussion on your platform. Highlighting Boris' recent win is terrifying, exciting, and forward-thinking. Artists have always pushed the limits of their mediums; found new ways to express themselves. Boris and Sony did so by accident, or maybe not, to get ahead of the conversation, make distinctions, and preserve the medium we love, photography.

Anyone who understands the process of photography can wholeheartedly reaffirm that his beautifully evocative images are indeed not photographs; not photography, however, they are photographic. Boris opens a path for those who don't have the skills or means to master photography but are wonderfully creative and have mad communication skills to create the images in their mind. It's a new medium. It is a new way of creative expression for those who understand technology and are not afraid to play around with it.

I say let's embrace it! Let's define the new medium by preserving and honoring the forms that came before it. And to be honest, if I can use AI to edit my pictures instead of the monster that is Photoshop, then I'm all for it!

That is a really good point Liza regarding using "AI to edit my pictures instead of the monster that is Photoshop." I agree with you. Software like Adobe has become unwielding when not used often. It's the main reason why I use Luminar Neo by Skylum. Here's a link if you want to check it out https://skylum.com/M87326DM94
