Good content, lazy editing

Chris always has great topics and interesting commentary on current photography events. However he needs to start editing out his swallowing on his recording. It’s really distracting.

Too much AI

I’ve been with Chris from way back in the first year and have always given the show 5 stars. Lately, though, Chris has jumped onto the AI bandwagon in a big way. I find it tiresome. An AI generated image is an image, yes, but it’s not a photograph. No light hit a light sensitive material. Using an AI chat bot to craft replies to people is just sad, I’m sorry.
