CONCEPT
- Better in the dark than his rider by Francesco Merlini
  
  From the cobbled streets of Milano to rustic pathways that transcend borders, photography has been a tool that has enabled artists like Francesco Merlini to capture moments, emotions, and narratives that often go beyond what words can express. Merlini is not just any photographer.
  
  Summer Dream by Jay Patel
  
  As the summer begins, I feel the urge to plan drives to unknown locations. Through entire spring as it gets little warmer, I start with different outdoor rituals. I prepare my pots for herbs and plants to grow the kitchen and backyard. I grind a fresh batch of coffee beans to get my pour-over cup ready while listening to the birds outside the window.

  My Father's Toys project was selected and published in our print edition 25. These toys represented a world of magic and imagination, and I longed to touch them and bring them to life. Years later, after my father passed away, I became the keeper of this enchanted collection.

- In Conversation with Jeanette May
  
  We discussed with the wonderful photographer Jeanette May all her clever photo narratives, her relationship with technology, and the feelings and emotions involved. She revealed the metaphors and meanings behind the inner and exterior designs of the technological gadgets she shoots for her series.
  
  Anatomy of a photograph by Nikhail Asnani
  
  This image came from the collection 'Feelings will hurt me'. When I was living in LA - I felt like I couldn't get close to anyone intimately. I live a life where sometimes people don't believe what I do, and at the time I was feeling very much in pain, after a sexual experience resulted in being backstabbed and emotionally beat up.
  
  Interview with Foteini Zaglara; published in our print edition #22
  
  My style is closely related (to) but not limited to fine art photography. About my personal style, I wouldn't say it has a specific description. I'm in a phase where I'm experimenting quite a bit so it's a "process in progress."

LENS
- Florilegio
  
  The life of a flower is short. One day of a flower corresponds roughly to ten human years. This is why flowers force us to confront the cruel fragility of life. Flowers therefore imply much more than their beauty; they remind us that even in decay the time of life passes.
  
  Waitography, the photography of waiting
  
  In my previous article “Photography or Promptography” I talked about how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the visual language; how it is making us question axioms that seemed consolidated and how it is causing a schism in the photographic world. In this article I will talk about Waitography, that is, the photography of waiting.
  
  AI in Visual Arts: Photography or ‘Promptography’?
  
  The “photographic language” has evolved over time, moving ever further away from photography and, at the same time, it has fed back into the concept of photography in such a way that no one knows how to distinguish where one concept begins and the other ends. The images obtained using AI are intended to further expand the concept of photographic language
