My name is John Daley. I’m retired and based in Massachusetts. These days I’m focused on photography. I’ve been taking photos for a long time and decided I needed a place to show my work — so this is that. You can see my images in the galleries and on the blog.
I am a member of the Duxbury Camera Club and I occasionally post about club events.
You can reach me at jjdaley@gmail.com. Or, if you’d like, you can comment in any blog post.
AI Use Statement
I’m an old fashioned photographer but not a luddite. I am convinced that a photograph is a record of a moment in time - presented artfully. That said, I do avail myself of certain tools in post-processing. Dodging, burning and spotting. Color and tonal adjustment. Cropping and framing. I do all of these things and, increasingly, the tools that allow me to do them are powered by AI. I think that’s ok.
Although I do, on rare occasions, use a subtractive AI editing tool to remove a distracting minor element in a landscape photo (not street), I do not use anything additive, which goes against my basic idea of what a photo is.
I understand that everyone has different ideas and rules regarding their creative process and I don’t intend this statement to be prescriptive. .
