That NPN sticker tho

Hahahahaha. This is why SM is so stupid for us. We need more galleries and exhibition opportunities.

That is only a thing because it’s a sellable print. I don’t blame people for wanting to make a little money on their photos. But yeah, if your portfolio is full of copies, kinda not cool.
comment in response to post
I’m with Guy Tal on this one. Looking at other people’s photos and then copying them is a choice. You don’t have to copy. You can be inspired and ingest concepts.

Yeah me as well- or folks who constantly Repost stuff from others, non-stop. :)

Very sad day.

Thank you Steve. I think you're right about the automation. Curious what thoughts you have on that (or anyone for that matter)... Do we enjoy engaging with bot-generated content?

Cool. 1. Me neither, but I noticed it this morning and I looked deeper to see someone with 30k followers and a post once an hour. 2. Interesting. 3. I think studying the work of others makes you a better photographer. 4. Of course they are, but not sure that's relevant.

Yeah ok, so folks are creating 1,000 pre-made posts and scheduling them? I get that, but also... wow.

Yeah that sounds right! And yes! Totally subjective. I wish they were more public about their panel.

Nice man, congrats on making it back! I haven't been able to get my work past the judges since 2022 when we met =)

Yeah and for those who have not experienced it, it's quite challenging to describe all of the benefits and how the experience can impact you.
