The closing year has been, in some aspects, the year of AI. For weeks and months, Italian media extensively covered AI on radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, and of course, websites. Specifically, this has also involved AI-generated PHOTOGRAPHY. Could I refrain from discussing this important topic? Certainly not. Anyone interested will find my reflections and thoughts below.

Why do I shoot handheld? - I will try to explain here the reasons behind my decision. I must clarify that using a tripod is essential in specific photography situations. Depending on environmental conditions, lighting, and subject. I'm referring, of course, to manual photography. Particularly in CLOSE UP and MACRO shots where the automatic mode is seldom used.
