Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
Yesterday, I shared the DALL-E Halloween renderings; today is NightCafé's turn. Here's the base prompt for these renderings. "long path leading to a dark mansion from a graveyard, dead trees, owls, bats, quarter moon crescent, cloudy night with distant lightning" As usual, elements are missing from the renderings, but they're still interesting to peruse. As... Continue Reading →
Some readers (one) made mention of traveling back in time and reading my prior Halloween offerings. "Good luck with that!" I thought, "Time travel is kind of messy." It turns out they meant revisiting my prior Halloween posts. Well, ever the show-off, I figured I'd lend a helping hand. This blog was born in March... Continue Reading →
Another Halloween . . . not that we celebrate, but I used to write Halloween short stories. Not always, but I at least offered up a graphic or photo. The last few years, I used the free PanosFx Spooky Halloween Photoshop Action to create the graphics. You can find some of the posts (and read... Continue Reading →
Occasionally, I do stuff for Halloween. I might do a picture, or write a story, or both. Once again, this year it's both. But, like last year, I'm not doing a photo. Rather, again I used a free action from PanosFX. Everything in that picture was positioned and scaled by me. He does good work, he... Continue Reading →
So, my last post had this graphic . . . . . . and I mentioned I used a free action from PanosFX. PanosFX has lots of stuff. I've showcased some of his free actions before HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and probably a few more places.. Today, I will showcase a few more of... Continue Reading →
Occasionally, I do stuff for Halloween. I might do a picture, or write a story, or both. This year is both . . . almost. That is obviously not a photo. Would you believe I made that in like ten minutes in Photoshop? Yup. Ten minutes, maybe less. I used a free action from PanosFX.... Continue Reading →
Despite my plans to get a jump of my Halloween writing, I've left it until the last moment. Same for the photo; not up to my usual self-imposed standard, but it will do . . . rather, it will have to do. First, let me start with my Twitterween (yes, I made that up . . .... Continue Reading →
Still busy with work around the house, hoping to get my improved office up and running sometimes this evening (it's early afternoon as I write this post, but it's scheduled to go live tomorrow morning). As I feared - well, more like suspected; it's not like I was apprehensive about it - very few people clicked... Continue Reading →
I'm busy with some work around the house, so my posting is taking a break . . . well, not much of a break since I'm posting. However, my main computer is not set up, and probably won't be for a few days, ergo no photos . . . but maybe a little writing. We... Continue Reading →
I don't have the time to offer up a short story, but I do want to offer this: Bones. We purchased Bones last year at Costco, and it's normal place is in the dining room (pictured), or in my office, sitting behind me, arm reaching out. The original photo was snapped with the Samsung... Continue Reading →
Enjoying some Spirits, this Halloween night So, it's Halloween, and I wrote a little something (I'm at lunch). But before I post it, I want to post some of the NanoWeen stories I tweeted last year (it's a twitter thing I found last year, and had some fun with). From October 31, 2011 (in reverse...
