I am forever looking for inspiration, to push the boundaries holding me back within my images. Seeking meaning through the lens. Is it muddied by the massive amount of images I’m bombarded with constantly? Great question, that may be the fungus and I may be the light. Only time will tell if my images live beyond my years and into the future.
"He said that photography has lost its meaning, that there is something like a fungus that has infected photography and has taken away it’s power."
The saying "familiarity breeds contempt" comes to mind. Millions of people now can make/show wonderful photographic images. This is no longer "special". Perhaps the "fungus" referred to the miasma of the mundane.
Wanting your photos not only giving you pleasure (but also money and attention) is a very common disease among decades practicing photographers. About fungus, well perhaps it’s just a successful decadence, a kind of multiplication of breads and fish but keeping the whole taste and flavor just the same: tons of tasteless pics

I would really like to know what he meant by fungus. Many possible interpretations, yes, but I want to know what *he* specifically meant.
And was photography ever *not* "infected"?
The first one is perfect, like AI, the second one is beautiful as well.
