If you have seen me at recent events, you may have noticed this new poster ⬆️

The epidemic of generative AI is scary, I won't lie.
Seeing sloppy event posters, false advertising stock images and lame, samey captions everywhere can make it really hard to know what's real and what isn't.

So I want to make it clear that there's no AI shenanigans here! I make all posts myself. Photography? That's me too.
It may not be polished or perfect, but it's real.

Let's stop utilising these toxic data centres, feeding the rich and stealing other artists' work and just go back to how we all used to do this stuff before AI came around 🫶
