AI gets better every day, but when everything can be generated instantly, what happens to the value of art, progress, and the learning process itself? In this video, I reflect on artificial intelligence, creativity, and why earning your skills over time still matters. This video is built from years of footage, from my earliest work to recent projects, to show why imperfection, patience, and growth are worth protecting, even as AI continues to advance. ⚙️ Gear in This Video - Fujifilm X100VI, X-Pro 3, X-T5, X-H2s - A handful of Sony a6400 & iPhone clips as well - Graded & Edited in Davinci Resolve Be sure to subscribe!
