Welcome to Week 14! Some weeks I really like what I created and other weeks are kinda “meh”. This week is a “meh” kinda week. The one kinda interesting thing in this piece is that there is only one picture that was taken. I took the picture of the pelican probably 12 years ago in […]

– Welcome to week 13 of Project 52! If you read my last post, you know that I have been struggling a bit emotionally with Adobe’s AI. Don’t get me wrong, it’s some fantastic technology that I can find millions of uses for. I did use it a bit in this composition. First I will

Adobe has integrated AI into a new tool in the Photoshop beta called generative fill. It has several things it can do that are pretty cool. For one thing, if there is something in the picture that you want to get rid of, you can do a loose selection of it and press the generative

Apparently, my seasons are off. My last post was something that looked like it should have been done around Halloween. This one looks like the dead of winter! I thought I might give you a quick tour of the main parts that created this composition. Let’s start with the house. The house in this one

This is one that I actually had an idea for and didn’t go chasing digital bunnies to see what would happen. I started out with the idea of wanting to have books sitting on top of tripods made of keys. A little pun about the key to knowledge. I ended up putting it in a

This week’s image took me quite a while. The original image is actually not water. Its desert. I added the water. My original idea was to have water around a small island with the boat on the island with the skeleton fishing from there but I liked the mountains in the distance so much that

This was a fun one! My daughter, Taylor, is on a birthday trip to Toronto with her friends. Her friend Heather posted a photo from Toronto after a rain. I thought it looked pretty cool so I grabbed it and did some artistic processing on it. The sky was just gray as was the lighting
