Since I first made the decision to become a photographer decades ago, I knew nothing would ever come easy. Crashed planes, dislocated shoulders, and dives under the ice gone awry are only a small portion of the obstacles I’ve had to overcome. When art meets the wild unpredictability of nature, nothing ever goes according to plan — which makes those fleeting moments of success all the sweeter. Meanwhile, Ai has scraped my work and the work of my fellow artists without consent, taking from images that took years of struggling and second-guessing to make. overlai.app protects the legacies and rights of creators and will be free for anyone who participates in the social media white out.
