ART – GENERATIVE AI – SCIENCE FICTION I’m a bit of a science fiction junkie. The live-action stuff. I don’t read much of the literature. But, with all the talk about impending death by machines.

ART – AI GENERATED – COLOR Yesterday, the daily prompt was about childhood memories. I remember sitting in front of the TV, watching old black-and-white movies. Then, they became color.

ART – PHOTOGRAPHY – AI GENERATED This image is rendered from a description I wrote about a character from a novel I’ve been working on.

PHOTOGRAPHY – CHALLENGE-RESPONSE This post is my response to Lens Artists Challenge 301,303,302, and 304. I begin this post with a poem by Emily Dickinson because I believe it sets the groundwork for our discussion. When it comes to artificial intelligence, conversations often spiral out of control. This isn’t the fault of the debaters; rather, … Continue reading I Remember SkyNet

REFLECTION – RANDOM THOUGHTS Typically, when comes to film adaptations, we got two categories: “Oh my god that was horrible! The book is so much better!” “Can you believe they did that? That’s not in the book!” The majority of the film adaptation I’ve seen into these categories. I’m a huge Shawshank Redemption fan. I … Continue reading Cinematic Gold
