It's part of my dayjob to keep up with changes in Photoshop, especially new tools...So I am experimenting with generative AI to change backgrounds/attempt to clean up scratches, etc..I asked for a generated "19th century painted forest backdrop" and got this...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Just got an advanced copy of the Spring 2025 BW Magazine. Fellow Detroit expat Dean Brierly found my portfolio from my favorite photo class ever, Mark Towner's Large Format class at Wayne State University, 1982. It's really the earliest work that I would show to anyone. #largeformat #detroit

A fascist’s a fascist, no matter how small

@earthy-eva.com channeling Weston in my studio, 9.2023

remembering MLK, a messenger of peace and truth on the first day of a new era of lies, scams and bluster. The photo taken 60 years ago shows just how much the message of fascist fear pimps has changed.
