Renderality vs Reality, AI Imagery Manifesto

Welcome to Kept Light Photography

Welcome to Kept Light Photography. This site is the culmination of over two decades of writing, discussing, analyzing, and presenting content on photography. As you can find under the About menu block, I have been involved in this art form for over six decades, having had a dozen solo exhibits, given birth to a ballet, run workshops, and made numerous presentations.
