					<description><![CDATA[An oldie I recently picked up an old DSLR. I never thought I would use a camera like that for street photography. My venture with the genre started with a Sony A6000. From there, I&#8217;ve been more and more convinced that street photography can only be done with the proper equipment, that is, compact cameras, [&#8230;]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re used to Lightroom or Capture One, at first glance, you might find NX Studio somehow limited. But depending on your editing needs, it might end up being all you need [&#8230;]]]></description>

I will skip the ethical issues tied to AI and focus only on the artistic side of the problem, commonly referred to as AI art. What many worry about AI is the end of true human creation.

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using the Zf since last mid-November. The beginnings have been uncertain: I was coming from seven years of Fuji experience to a system I knew nothing about, and the transition wasn&#8217;t exactly seamless, considering I was leaving my lighter X-Pro 2 for the bulkier Zf. How would the small grip and heavier body [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL:DR Pros Cons A few days ago, I received the new Nikon ZF. When I opened the box and held the camera for the first time, my reaction wasn&#8217;t exactly what I had imagined. I didn&#8217;t find anything particularly off with the camera. The weight was what I had expected. But the dials felt a [&#8230;]]]></description>

One doesn&#8217;t need to live in New York to do (street) photography. Is that true?

					<description><![CDATA[Which one is closer to reality? Black &#38; white, or color? Many say black &#38; white has little to do with how we see things. After all, we perceive in color, not grayscale tones. But for some reason, I always found that argument a little pretentious. What does it mean color photography is closer to [&#8230;]]]></description>

The need to capture a moment, i.e. to transfer an image onto a flat surface, is common to both disciplines. What he seems to overlook is how that need is triggered by [&#8230;]]]></description>

A recent trip to Italy took me to my old favorite bookstore in Bologna, laFeltrinelli. I noticed a small book, “L’immagine Infedele _ La Falsa Rivoluzione della Fotografia Digitale” by Claudio Marra (roughly &#8220;The Unfaithful [&#8230;]]]></description>
