i really like the idea of nfts (despite not owning any) but i feel like there is a problem with the current implementation, i imagine they will be big in the future but not in their current form. humans want to show off their things to get status from them(expensive cars, expensive game items(csgo)) with nfts there is no real way to show them off, the closest thing was profile pictures. im not sure of a good way to s…

I have a couple of those digital art frames on my walls, and I load the art into them. One is for landscape aspect ratio, and one is for portrait aspect ratio. https://www.tcl.com/us/en/products/home-theater/nxtframe-tv/...

thats one way to do it but feel like theres a better solution

Photography and algorithmic art are exactly my thing. In the past few years, I’ve been deeply exploring generative art, though I prefer calling it "Algorithmic Art" since "generative" is often linked to AI now. Some of my works can even be drawn with a pen plotter. Take a look: https://monokai.com

Very nice! Nice work grabbing that domain too!

I own a lot of photo books and highly recommend them. Nothing is more inspiring to me. The YouTube channel "The Photo Book Guy" is worth a look too. I also like "The Art of Photography." The Magnum courses look interesting. Do you find the are generally worth the price? Do they ever go on sale? https://youtube.com/@photobookguy1380 https://youtube.com/@theartofphotography

They are quite expensive for the content, given these are not true learning courses, more like well structured and deep interviews. But photo education is very tech(nique) focused nowadays, so I don’t know any good online alternatives that would touch upon the art and creative side of photography, like Magnum does.

Thanks. I agree it's very easy to find information on how to operate a camera, and even easier to find reviews... but it's incredibly difficult to find good art/design resources online, through the noise.

Personally, I had a good experience early in my photography learning with an in-person class that focused on "taking creative photos" (skipping the instructor's "camera fundamentals" class.) It was a mix of basic composition and basic editing.

Along a similar vein, I liked this Udemy course quite a bit for further solidifying compositional knowledge: https://www.udemy.com/course/landscape-composition/learn/lec...

Thanks for the feedback, I've long been interested in some Magnum courses (e.g. Alec Soth has created some of my favorite images.) I'll give one a go!
