Meet Chica and Birdy. Chica experiences life at full intensity and maintains her dignity about it. Birdy requests affection primarily as a tactical maneuver. It might be genuine affection, but it could just as easily end in roughhousing or Birdy claiming Chica’s spot on the couch.
I’m an MFA-trained photographer. I used AI to put superhero costumes on my dogs. This newsletter is about what happens when those two things exist in the same brain.
This isn’t a newsletter about making silly photos with AI. It’s about where these tools actually deliver value in running a photography business - and how to navigate a toolset that keeps changing out from under you. I make no guarantees that what works for me will work for you. But I’m an art-school-trained, certified professional photographer with 20 years of experience, and I think the lessons I’ve learned are worth sharing. Follow along and I’ll show you what I’ve found. New issues drop every other week, with notes filling in the gaps.
