  • Out On The Road

    If you’ve read Storyteller for any length of time you know that I like motion blur, low golden light and that I often work from a moving car. These two pictures illustrate that. I also like to roam around looking for pictures. I work by one philosophy. “”Don’t take the picture, let the picture take…

  • Left Behind I’ve had an interesting week in Storytellerland. I’ve experimented with synthetic media and I closed with my more traditional layering of photographs to create this image of what we left behind. As you know, I’m starting to work on a project about what we, as a country, leave behind. It’s not enough that…

  • This Is The City I was working in Los Angeles, which was fun because I grew up there, well, really in Long Beach, which is different but kind of the same. I was doing another book assignment with a long list of potential subjects. One was The Disney Music Hall. I wandered around the entire…

  • Desert Spring Let’s take a break from the now world of synthetic media and look at springtime in the high desert of New Mexico. Unlike so many places spring isn’t varying shades of green. The color there is bold and beautiful. Of course, there are many places where there is more than green. But, this….…

  • Uh Oh…

    She doesn’t exist, except in my mind. I created her from words, my words. Words like elderly, gray haired, wrinkled, photo realistic and others. I pushed the “create” button and AI did its thing. All of this took less than five minutes. I could have “evolved” her, but when I tested that, she turned into…

  • In My Dreams

    Learning, Always Learning I’ve been at it again. It doesn’t help that DALL-E sends me credits so I can play without cost. I suppose there is the sunk cost of my time. But,I don’t mind that as long as I’m learning… something. This is a great example of synthetic media generated by AI using only…

  • What’s Cooking?

    I like to eat. You like to eat. I also like to cook, but not all the time. Musical Miss is a better cook than I am, but she doesn’t like to cook everyday. So, we go out to eat in restaurants, cafes or buffets. Well, buffets are out with the arrival of CoVid and…

  • Spring Equinox

    Equinox. Rebirth. The representation of new life and light, new beginnings, path and seeds. Seeds? Read on. You’ll see. The equinox represents the need for balance because the day and night are equal in length. The first day of spring begins at 5:24 pm EDT. Now the days grow longer as light wins over the…

  • Synthetic Media

    Generative AI pretty much exploded this week, not so much for visuals which are getting more sophisticated by the hour, but for words and questions. It seems like every app that we all use has some version of ChatGPT-4. Microsoft built it into Bing. Google built into Workspace. Facebook is building their own version. The…
