Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
I previously posted a similar image and a different version of the following. Both result from random prompts I throw at Dream AI when I'm bored. Sometimes, when I go to bed, I take a few minutes to shoot out a couple of dozen images. Counting images from the first efforts, I have over 4,000... Continue Reading →
Dream AI, by WOMBO OK, so, technically, that's not an S23 Ultra Photo . . . and also, technically, it is since I used the WOMBO Dream AI app on the phone to generate it. I have that up here because I'm still not seeing many hummingbirds. I would worry if it weren't for the... Continue Reading →
I'm thankful for a lot about my mother, but if I were to narrow it down to just one thing, it would be my sense of humor. Despite difficult times, all four of us kids — sadly, only three now — grew up with the ability to laugh despite—if not in spite—of the circumstances. Humor... Continue Reading →
Haven't done one of these posts in a while. "What kind of post, Disperser?" Oh, you know . . . a little bit of this, a little bit of that. For instance, that's a building I photographed on my way back from Florida last month. Here's a monochrome version of it . . . This... Continue Reading →
So, Dream AI added an Avatar option. What does that mean? Well, you upload a photo (just the face), and give it a prompt. For the image above, I uploaded a photo of my mother, said she did cross stitch, and that's what it generated. There are certainly elements of her in the visage, but... Continue Reading →
I follow the Cosmic Focus blog for excellent astrophotos. I'm amazed at the quality of photos that can be captured by backyard telescopes and cameras (albeit trending toward the high end of the consumer market). Already having more interests than time — with more waiting in the wings (interests, not time... that's running out way... Continue Reading →
This is one of my sporadic travel posts. To be clear, the posts are sporadic, not the travel. I had access to some cats (we no longer have pets) and used a few of their images as seeds for a few of my Dream AI adventures. As a reminder to the one or two readers... Continue Reading →
I'll be traveling for a while, so I might only be sporadically active. The regular weekly posts will still go live at their appropriate times (scheduled ahead of time, they be), but other stuff (including reading and interacting with other blogs) might suffer. Here are a few (31) of the mega-bigly-ultra number of AI-generated images... Continue Reading →
This is the Third post of three about renderings by Dream AI using some of my images as seeds. As a quick reminder, Dream AI (well, all the AI models) has the option to provide an image to serve as a seed for what it creates. The Pro version of Dream AI has the option... Continue Reading →

So, whenever I need to pass some time (waiting for stuff, waiting in the car, etc.), I play with Dream AI by WOMBO. The above is a rendering from the prompt "steampunk spaceship". Each prompt gets me four renderings. I may save all four or none, depending on how they look. Here's another from the... Continue Reading →
Dream by Wombo abstract I came across something recently that has me puzzled. It has to do with stats, something I don't look at too often. This next image is a screen capture from today's Jetpack Stats. It's the numbers for the last seven days and the weekly numbers, I want to draw attention to... Continue Reading →
Dream AI by WOMBO Most of my days are pretty good. Not fantastic, mind you . . . no one showers me with accolades, money, and songs, but also no one is calling me names, spitting on me, or kicking me. I get up, have a coffee, feed the birds, do a few things, go... Continue Reading →
The above is the photo as it came out of the camera on a cloudy late November 2022 day. I then used a number of software packages to get a few different 'looks' of the branches. Here's the slideshow of the above images: Slideshow of the Denuded Tree Branches Gallery — 14 images And, yes,... Continue Reading →
About two weeks ago, I loaded the Dream AI App on my Samsung Note 20. The app is free, by the way, but you can pay to upgrade it and get a few extra capabilities. I don't even remember the prompt for the above. Unlike the graphics I generate on the PC, I usually don't... Continue Reading →
