Ai and photography, like a thorn in my side or an itch I can’t quite reach. Which photo is real? While those filtered “bold glamour” photos, and altered views of you are fun; in 50 years, how will this altered view impact you when your memory fades?

I used to think of failure as a negative thing. Now it’s a part of my growth. I try and learn from it. Previously, I would go dark, critical, and become that OVER analyzing everything I did — person.
