A.I. Tango

My brief time in Argentina allowed me to photograph classic Tango, Just wonderful. I would love it. But alas, actually not… my latest today in creating with AI. Created with words.

At The Bar

Almost a scene out of a movie. Finding a beautiful elegantly dressed woman at the hotel bar. Of course I would shoot a photograph. I love candid photographs. Another of my new attempts at AI.

Sidewalk Fashion

Today in Beverly Hills. I asked of she would stop so I could shoot a photo. Not really, my 2nd attempt at an AI image. I do find it fascinating. But not as fascinating as actually being there and shooting photographs. March 19 2024

On The Beach In Ipanema

I just photographed this today. Well not actually photographed. This is my first attempt at AI. I did not realize that AI is so very realized in words, prose, poetry.

However I prefer in person, the vision through a viewfinder. The snap of the shutter or even the winding of film. AI cannot replace actually being there in a candid moment. Or especially in this case, being in the company of a beautiful woman. 03-18-2024

Candid

Opening reception for the Gaia Hypothesis art exhibit at the Elemental Gallery in Palm Springs California. I really enjoy candid photographs at gallery receptions. Here she just happened to turn, seeing my camera and just smiled. I know she thought it was fun being in the photo. Maybe it was in part because I was shooting with a vintage Leica IIIf film camera. It was indeed very dark in there. March 2, 2024.
