					<description><![CDATA[The rise of Ai and its impact on image making has me rethinking what it means to create photographic work. It&#8217;s true that images have been easily manipulated since the earliest days of photography, but each day it gets tougher to tell the difference between fiction and non-fiction. It&#8217;s wonderful and discouraging at the same]]></description>
