I can't say how productive my journey through AI photography has been.
But then what is productivity?
And who cares?
I like these questions!
I am likely thinking of them because I have been spending hours fiddling with pictures, often in aimless directions, just to see what I could get to. There is a promise with this technology that I can do things very quickly, like put a rabbit on a patch of grass in my library, but somehow that seems to lead to me doing vastly more things, which slows everything down until, hours later, I find myself working on the same picture that I had completed so quickly!
Am I improving the picture?
I don't know if that's the point even.
Here is a rabbit scene from my library whose inspiration I can't even trace anymore. This would be at a kind of medium level of involvement:
Here is something an hour or two further along down the road:
Could I spend a few more hours on this?
Sure. Although I will grant you that it is already a tad cluttered.
Or how about this one.
Yesterday at work I took some pictures of Impressionist paintings for...
future use?
This is the original picture I took:
I'm not sure who the artist is on this, though he was a good one. And I really had no idea what I was thinking of doing with this picture. But I brought it into photoshop anyway.
This is where we ended up hours later:
I rest my case.
Which is easiest to do since I don't have one.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
