The key is in using the correct camera

 





For a long time I have been experimenting with the alteration of my photographs through the use of increasingly sophisticated AI's. These are a lot of fun. But sometimes my original photographs are better than the altered photographs.

This is why I have started experimenting with using specialty cameras. 


You have seen dozens of photographs like these ones lately:


























































































These pictures were taken with a camera I got a month or two ago, my Muppet Camera:













But this camera only whetted my appetite for more of these experimental cameras! This morning, after a considerable investment, much fretting, and a great deal of impatient waiting, I received in the early delivery my newest camera. It's the latest design! You can surely imagine how super excited I was to try it out. 


Here I am this morning with my new camera, all freshly put together, and starting on my first outing with it:














 Luckily I didn't start work today until almost noon! So I had some morning time to try my camera out. I went into my local neighborhoods to take pictures of flowers and streams and anything I could find as I worked my way over to the River, and then I continued along the paths there.  I only had the one rather pricey roll of Seuss Film that came with the camera, so I tried to be careful with it. But even so, I shot the whole roll in my one walk! 

I was pretty excited to see how they all turned out.


I wasn't disappointed.

An amusement park for muppets

 







We may be nearing the end of my onslaught of felted everything pictures. This may or may not be good news for you. I'm currently generating pictures of flowers turned into felt, but we're not ready for those yet, and it's a bit too early to tell whether we'll ever be ready for them.

What we are ready for is a visit to Clerkmanifestoland, the thrilling amusement park with that charming Fox and Skunk in Arles ride, and the Condeluded ride, which is seriously the best ride ever, and the Catcher in the Rye ride.  You know, Clerkmanifestoland? The theme park that everyone says is

A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN DISNEY!

Not that it's a competition.

It's not a competition.


I remember once long ago Disneyland had a very amusing 3D muppet movie. 


Breaking news: Okay, this is a little amazing. I thought, for all I know, the muppet 3d movie is still around so I paused my writing and I looked it up.

It closed today.


No, like, after 35 years, it officially closed today.

Literally today is the closing day of the Muppet Movie 3D in Disney!

It was Jim Henson's last project and opened in 1990.

It closed today, or, because I am ahead a bit on my posts, for you it closed about a week ago.

Anyway, wild coincidence.

But all the better that I have in homage my own muppet world version of Clerkmanifestoland today, which is a place like Disneyland, only better, and more muppety.


RIP, 3d muppet movie.



May all the muppet ghosts come visit this version of Clerkmanifestoland.
