LTP 148: Another Challenge

Friend of the show Allison Sheridan joins Bart to talk through Apple's answer to the AI problem – Reference Image. At first glance Bart had assumed Apple had needlessly re-invented the wheel, and that they should have just adopted C2PA. But on deeper analysis, it became clear that Apple had actually solved a subtly different problem, and solved it very well. C2PA and Apple Reference Image both have their place in our AI future!

In this solo show Bart argues in favour digital provenance over AI detectors, and specifically, in favour of the Content Credentials standard from the C2PA. Rather than trying to detect AI fakes, we should learn from the antiques and collectibles world, and reverse our starting assumption and the burden of proof.

The fine folks at the Naples Mac Friends invited Bart back to give another photography presentation, and this time, asked him to focus on the art rather than the craft. Much of that presentation was very visual, and not well suited to a podcast, but the concepts are very relevant, so this instalment is a re-telling of the presentation's underlying narrative, adapted to one of Bart's popular monologues.

In this solo show Bart shares the story of a series he recently shot of spring flowers along the woodland trails in Carton House Estate near Maynooth in the east of Ireland. Bart focuses on the artistic choices he made before setting out, and how they helped him produce a nicer set of images. The idea is not to inspire you to make the same choices before your next shoot, but to inspire you to take the time to make your own choices.

Rather than resolutions, Bart starts his photographic year by setting himself a challenge. It went great in 2024, so how did it go in 2025? And what about 2026? Could this approach work for you?
