Photography transformed fine art forever—now AI's turn has come. Will it blur our essence or provide us with a vivid new perspective? Join us for a 90-min panel discussion on AI in photography, covering tools, art, ownership & the future with experts. The discussion panel will be moderated by AZPA member Dave Cano, along with three panelists: Professor Isac Artzi, Ph.D., M.S., Grand Canyon University, College of Engineering and Technology, Arizona Photographer and Artist Gina DeGideo, BFA, and AZPA board member and photographer Rick Gayle. The discussion will start with photography’s history as one that took bold leaps, from darkrooms to digital, and now AI is pushing the boundaries once more. Just imagine, AI crafting images from scratch or even critiquing work with a machine’s eye—what does that mean for creativity and who gets to call it theirs? The panel will explore an intriguing question: is AI a threat, a tool, or a transformation for our craft? Panelists will start with the familiar—how AI sharpens the tools we already use—and build toward what’s next. Expect a lively mix of insights and debate, drawing from photography’s past and its cutting edge. Not a member, but would like to attend? Learn more. About the Panelists Isac Artzi, PhD, is the Program Lead for MS in Data Science.

Gina DeGideo is an Arizona artist who holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from Arizona State University. Through photography, intermedia, and bookmaking, she explores the human experience, questions the universe, and is always working in collaboration with the greater unknown. As an Arizona native, growing up in the desert and constantly studying the ever-changing terrain, she is fascinated with the transitions and transformations found in the landscape, both man-made and natural, and personal relationships with nature. Her art has been exhibited nationally and belongs in many private collections. Rick Gayle, since the age of 12 has been attracted to light like a moth. For Rick, light is all a photographer ultimately has control over and the way he molds its qualities helps define objects and tells stories. For Rick that is and always will be his venue for exploration and excitement. Rick is the guy at the table in a nice restaurant using the napkin to reflect the candlelight into the wine glass. ________________________________ IMPORTANT INFORMATION: By registering for this event, you agree to hold harmless Arizona Photography Alliance (AZPA), its board, officers and members, and the event hosts, from any occurrence that might happen during the event.

Phoenix Zoo

Book now for tomorrow

non.of.yours

Phoenix Zoo is located in Tempe Arizona and it is by far one of the best zoos I have been to. There are many attractions to the zoo like the wildlife. Phoenix Zoo has places like sea life walk where you can go see the sea life. The have a trail called Desert trail where you can see all the desert animals. they also have an area where you can see all the flowers in Arizona. they have a kid&#39;s land for just the kids they have a water park for the kids the animals that you see are mainly ones that you would see in a safari because it is a desert. Arizona You Don&#39;t See Much of like polar bears. it&#39;s a great little Zoo it&#39;s not too big not too little and I highly suggest if you&#39;re going to go to the Phoenix Zoo do not go in the summer I would plan to come in the winter where is more nice not so hot and you&#39;ll see a lot more animals than if you were to come in the summer it is 120&deg; here in Arizona during the summer and in the winter it gets up to about 70&deg; during the day so be a perfect time to come in the Winter.

Papago Park

love is blue

It was a really big park. I went from the southern end along the canal trail to the north end and stopped at the rocky cave, which took about an hour. It was a great place to relax, exercise and picnic. I loved the change between the green spaces around the lake and the arid areas filled with cactus. And was stunned by the bird life around. It is really hot so apply sunscreen and bring enough water.

[Scenery] The closest hiking route to the city
You can see the sunrise and sunset of Phoenix here
I went there twice this year
I arrived at around 8am in March to see the blue sky and wild flowers
I arrived at around 5am in June to see many tourists waiting for the sunrise
This place is right next to the zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden
Free attractions
Travel route
Bring breakfast and watch the sunrise and have breakfast at the Cave in the Stone
Then go to the Desert Botanical Garden at around 8am to see all kinds of desert plants and animals
At noon, have a good meal at the restaurant in the botanical garden
