A tale of two photos.

Dorothea Lange stood in that migrant camp in 1936. She was there. Florence was there. The moment was real.

Boris Eldagsen typed a prompt in 2023. No one was there. No moment existed. The woman is a fiction.

Both images are powerful. Only one tells a true story. People win.

Some images can tell remarkable human stories.

We built VerifiedHuman to protect and celebrate human creativity. Human Is the New Vinyl explains why human creativity still matters—and why it always will.

 

In a world rushing toward frictionless tech, vinyl spun its way back into the spotlight because it feels real. From the printing press to generative AI, this book traces how new tools reshape how we create and why human-made work still prevails.
