Having spent the best part of 40 years looking through a viewfinder of a stills or video camera, sitting in front of a computer editing photos or videos, producing websites and managing content and social media accounts for organisations or individuals, it’s a very strange feeling to now say “I’m retired".

Despite no longer taking on commercial paid work, it’s virtually impossible to suddenly stop what you’ve been doing for the best part of your working life so, for the past few years I’ve been taking on work on a ‘pro-bono’ basis for church, charity or voluntary organisations. I hope that my experience, skills and equipment can now be put to good use by those who perhaps, don’t have the budget or funding to produce what they want or need for their media requirements.

How ridiculous!

I uploaded a 60 second clip to Facebook of a hedgehog visitor in our garden drinking, there was no sound on the video. 2 hours later, Facebook informed me that my video was ‘partially muted because it may contain music that belongs to someone else’. Where they got the 10 minutes and 13 seconds from I have no idea - I’ll be interested to hear what their ‘new audio’ sounds like. You couldn’t make it up!

While AI is getting smarter and more intelligent by the day, it seems Facebook (Meta) didn't get the memo.
