O blessèd, blessèd night! I am afeard,
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
Too flattering sweet to be substantial.

Some days, these days, I think that artists might be the canary in the coal mine. Other days I think we represent the essential, enduring aspects of humanity.

I spend a bit of time over on LinkedIn for my @_intomeandsee_ photography work and my feed is schizophrenic: AI trainers and unofficial Big Tech reps vs AI ethics thoughtleaders and people who hate prompted output with an existential passion.

It can be a bit intense as an artist and self-employed creative tbh.

I don’t know which way it’s gonna go. Will AI just turn out to be the digital equivalent of Temu (don’t admit you use it occasionally because although it’s cheap, it’s a bit shit and definitely a knock off) and you ultimately still value human craft and doing business? Or will it make the internet like a globe-sized goose, stuffed full of beige, rendering the online space unusable while it vaporises financial markets, business and culture itself?

If I was a betting woman and you could bet on things like this (because hey, that’s what all the speculators “funding” the stuff are doing while they sell chips to themselves and build data centres we might not need), I’d have a buck each way.

When I decided to do a FBF post over there today I recognised how lucky I’ve been to spend time in studios and theatres, photographing artists at work.

Choreographers. Directors. Composers. Actors. Dancers. Musicians. Artists.

This week I’ve found it very interesting how the Tilly Norwood thing inflamed the internet. Prompted pictures haven’t elicited the same level of horror (unless you’re an illustrator or a photographer).

And now there’s Sora. 💀

Tilly couldn’t do any of the stuff in these images.
Because people aren’t tools.

2025 is quite a ride. I love my job!

A final curtain, and a final thank you!

Five weeks, 10 shows and three cities since we first raised the curtain, our very special season of La bohème came to a close at the Isaac Theatre Royal in Ōtautahi yesterday. On behalf of the NZ Opera team, we'd like to extend our deepest gratitude not only to the many artists, creatives and crew who helped to bring this show to life, but also to the thousands of opera lovers, opera dabblers and first-time opera attendees who filled our hearts and our houses right across the motu.

It's a great pleasure and privilege to be able to share these works and these worlds with you, and we couldn't be prouder of how warmly you've recieved this gorgeous opera. We'll be back in just a couple of months with something entirely different, and we'd love for you to join us again. Until then, adieu and ngā mihi nui.

Saying goodbye to this beautiful bunch won’t be hard in the slightest… no, not one bit.

My @nz_opera journey ends soon. It’s been a real joy. Won’t forget this one for a while. Off to the UK at the weekend.
