  • Photography Isn't Perfection, It's Presence

    Photography Isn't Perfection, It's Presence
    2026/10/06
    I asked AI to make a photo. At first glance, it was convincing. Look closer, and the cracks appear. In this episode of As I See It, I share why AI has its place in my work, in research, writing and sorting ideas, but why real photography is something it can't do. AI doesn't feel the cool air before sunrise. It doesn't wait for the fisherman to cast his net or the cloud to break. It guesses. After 40 years behind the camera, I believe photography isn't about capturing what's there. It's about recognising what's worth keeping. That instinct is lived, not downloaded, and what makes an image real isn't perfection. It's presence. See the work at petegeorge.com.au. See with purpose. Share with heart.#photography

  • When the Selfie Became Selfish

    When the Selfie Became Selfish
    2026/10/03
    The selfie was never the problem. It was a simple way of saying, “I was here.”But somewhere along the way, something changed. The destination became the backdrop, culture became a prop, and the experience became content. In this episode of As I See It, Pete George reflects on what happens when travelling becomes less about seeing a place and more about being seen in it. Drawing on decades behind a camera and his experiences in Bali, Pete asks whether we've become so focused on capturing and sharing the moment that we've forgotten to actually experience it. Because perhaps the question isn't whether a photograph will get attention. It's whether it honours the place you're standing in.

  • Back to Bali — Camera in Hand

    Back to Bali — Camera in Hand
    2026/09/30
    In a few days, Jane and I are heading back to Bali.No big itinerary and no list of must-see places. Just a few weeks based mostly in Sanur, a couple of days in Ubud, and plenty of time to grab the camera and see where the day takes us. In this episode, I talk about why Bali remains one of my favourite places to photograph, the everyday moments that catch my eye, and a small photographic story I'll be looking for while I'm there. You can follow the photographs, galleries and stories from the trip at petegeorge.com.au. See with Purpose. Share with Heart.

    Welcome to As I See It
    2026/09/30
    So, what is As I See It?It’s simply the things I see, experience and think are worth sharing — people, places, photography and everyday life.Sometimes it’ll be a quick observation. Sometimes a longer story. Sometimes it’ll lead you to photographs or something I’ve written.There’s no fixed format or length.If something catches my eye, makes me think or feels worth sharing, you’ll find it here.
