  • Photography Isn't Perfection, It's Presence

    Photography Isn't Perfection, It's Presence
    Oct 6 2026
    I asked AI to make a photo. At first glance, it was convincing. Look closer, and the cracks appear. In this episode of As I See It, I share why AI has its place in my work, in research, writing and sorting ideas, but why real photography is something it can't do. AI doesn't feel the cool air before sunrise. It doesn't wait for the fisherman to cast his net or the cloud to break. It guesses. After 40 years behind the camera, I believe photography isn't about capturing what's there. It's about recognising what's worth keeping. That instinct is lived, not downloaded, and what makes an image real isn't perfection. It's presence. See the work at petegeorge.com.au. See with purpose. Share with heart.#photography

  • When the Selfie Became Selfish

    When the Selfie Became Selfish
    Oct 3 2026
    The selfie was never the problem. It was a simple way of saying, “I was here.”But somewhere along the way, something changed. The destination became the backdrop, culture became a prop, and the experience became content. In this episode of As I See It, Pete George reflects on what happens when travelling becomes less about seeing a place and more about being seen in it. Drawing on decades behind a camera and his experiences in Bali, Pete asks whether we've become so focused on capturing and sharing the moment that we've forgotten to actually experience it. Because perhaps the question isn't whether a photograph will get attention. It's whether it honours the place you're standing in.
