How To Conquer AI For Photo Creativity Online Zoom Workshop
- (Feb 21 (Saturday) 2026, 9:00–11:00 AM — Los Angeles (Pacific Time))
Dear friends, I am super pumped to share that I’m going to be teaching a very very unique, one of a kind online workshop tailored around photography creativity and AI.
The big thought I have is, essentially AI, could be like digital photography 2.0. Which means, AI isn’t a thing to be afraid of, but instead, a phenomenal new liberation for you to like super insanely turbo charge you? 
Quad thrusters ahead!
Essentially, AI should be seen as amplified creativity –> , or like,,, electricity or the automobile.
Or, AI should be seen as a protocol for enhanced creativity. the general idea is, that AI is not “cheating”, very much how film guitar first think that digital photography was cheating.
And the truth is, life isn’t about cheating or legitimacy or whatever but, to use your levers of advantages to your own benefit. 
For example, is it cheating to ride a bicycle to drop your kid off to school, if the streets are full of traffic in cars? Or is it cheating to ride a car to go somewhere instead of walking 20 miles like your ancestors did?
I think the future is gonna be the same in terms of education, it’s kind of like trying to do complex math equations without a calculator. AI is essentially a calculator on steroids. 
What we’re going to cover:
- The ethics of AI and creativity: what happens to authorship and originality?
- How AI could be used to benefit and supercharge your photography creativity
- Simple workflows on how to use AI to transform your photos into videos.
- A chance for you to also share your opinions about the future of AI photography and creativity
- How you could use AI to increase your blueprint for online success, and also, the death of Google SEO (search engine optimization), and the rise of AISO (AI search optimization)
- A quick overview of the different AI generation platforms like ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini
- How you could use AI, video generation AI, to prosper as a creator

Other thoughts … some stoic thoughts:
Forget
Forget, forgetfulness as a stoic virtue:
So a really big idea of my mind right now is in terms of stoic ethics, almost like having some sort of historic operating system system.
So, one of the big ideas I have is, when it comes to ethics in the lake, it is actually not about like apologizing or feeling bad or regretting or whatever, but instead,… to forget.
Almost assume like it never happened?
And I think this is also another really big thing is that, regardless of how accurate you might want to try to portray your own personal worldview, or the way that you interpret events or things were happening… You actually may be wrong. And there’s actually no finger to point because no wrong was really done. Either to you or somebody else or whatever.
As a consequence, I think the best way to proceed is, just forget like anything happened. And this ends up becoming a very interesting strategy because, whenever, … you see someone which might inflame you … and you see them,,, rather than getting all angry or whatever, … just smile and pretend like nothing ever happened?
…
Pretending like nothing ever happened,,, … how people respond?
… so to forget,,,, … … is the ultimate strategy? Not “forcing” yourself to forget or anything ?
So then what
… once you get that out of your mind,,, then better to focus on more personally interesting things to you?
How to forget
So I think this is $1 trillion question is that like, how do you even forget?
The only is, you cannot force yourself to forget something. Maybe you just gotta be so busy with other stuff that you don’t really care?
Another thought, perhaps then the secret is, actually, knowing that there is nothing for you to fear? Because I think typically whenever we were registered or what you said or what you did or whatever, the biggest thing that we concern ourselves with, is how this might cause harm to ourselves our family etc. But once you no longer fear nothing, then, the grand upside is, just realize there’s nothing for you to really concern yourself about.
Annoyance
Then I suppose now for me, the bigger issue I’ve been having more is kind of an annoyance? Like, when things don’t happen how I desire them, it could kind of keep me up at night because I’m using a lot of brainpower to try to mitigate the issue of my brain or trying to justify it to me or trying to do some sort of virtue philosophy?
And then it becomes insanely annoying to me because, I think about things that I don’t want to think about, but then again, maybe there is some sort of hidden upside to have to think about things that you don’t want to think about?
