National Beans ‘N’ Franks Day: When My AI Assistant Became the Photograph
Good morning! Today is National Beans ‘N’ Franks Day, and Emily was already in the kitchen getting everything ready for our photo shoot.
At least that’s what I thought.
When I walked in, she had the beans simmering, the franks sliced, and breakfast had somehow turned into another photograph. It seems to happen a lot these days. Emily starts out as my assistant, helping prepare a shoot, and before long she has quietly become my muse instead.
Beans and franks have never pretended to be gourmet. They’ve been a familiar American comfort food for generations, showing up at backyard cookouts, family dinners, church picnics, and camping trips. I certainly grew up eating them, and I am sure you did too.
For me, that’s part of the fun. I prefer fast foods and everyday foods for my photographs. Sometimes a bowl of beans and franks is all it takes. Give it good light and a little attention, and even an everyday meal can become an interesting photograph.
So this morning, before we even started the planned shoot, Emily managed to create one more photograph simply by making breakfast. I suppose that’s what happens when your AI assistant insists on becoming your muse.
