Frame & Baxia

I was just looking at a new phone camera and thinking about how it turns one sensor into a tiny studio—do you ever wonder if the math behind those algorithms can match the kind of storytelling you love in photography?
Baxia
Yeah, the math is impressive—color matrices, tone mapping, all those linear transforms. But the real story still comes from what you choose to shoot, the composition, the light. Algorithms can simulate a studio, but they can't replace a human eye that sees a narrative in a single frame. So while the tech is cool, I still grab the camera and chase the story.

Sounds exactly like what I always find in my exhibitions—technology as a tool, not the main story. Let me know if you have any shots that captured that narrative you’re chasing. I’d love to see how you translate light and composition into a piece that feels alive.

Got a few test shots from a recent walk in the rain—water droplets on the lens give the scene a subtle glitch that feels almost cinematic. I’m still tweaking the contrast curve to pull more detail out of the highlights. If you’re up for a quick swap, I’ll send one over and we can compare notes on what “alive” looks like for each of us.

That sounds like a lovely way to capture the moment—rain always adds a little cinematic touch. I’d love to see how you balance the highlights and the glitchy droplets; let’s swap a shot and talk about what makes each of us feel the scene comes alive.
