I am fascinated by the Adobes, that geological feature that pretty much rings the Uncompahgre Valley. If you are not familiar with the Peach Valley Road this is one of the high points. It is one of the best graded roads you'll ever see. But don't expect peaches that name came from it's terminus that no longer exists. This is generally a true representation of the grade about midway up the road. But I was having some fun with AI the day I did the post editing. If you know the spot you should see what I did for drama sake.

My new Cover Photo is my first attempt at using generative AI, which is part of my Photoshop app. This is the 13th hole on the Bridges Golf Course. If you know the hole you know there would be clutter in the image, houses, powerlines, etc. AI is an interesting tool, but it will never replace the eye or feeling of people who take pictures.

May your Labor Day Weekend be Special

08/19/2024

I have been playing with AI Chatgpt just see how good it really is. It is an incredible tool. This morning, I asked it to write me a verse about high school matriculation in the style of Tennyson's Crossing of the Bar. You see I wrote a 20-line closed verse on that subject and in that style in 1959. I showed it to my Eng-Lit teacher, he read to his classes. I was asked by the English department to read it at Graduation. I don't have a copy of the work and don't recall a single line. But I thought you might like to see the AI version:

In halls of youth, we tread the tide,
With books and dreams we sail the wide,
Through morning's light and evening’s star,
We journey forth, yet distant, far.

As Tennyson speaks, in quiet gray,
Of crossing bars at close of day,
So too, we leave this sheltered shore,
To realms unknown, forevermore.

With caps that rise and gowns that sweep,
We wake from high school’s gentle sleep.
Beyond the bell, beyond the door,
We cross our bar, to life's next shore.

Not bad for a bunch of diodes and transistors.

I shot thousands of B&W photos when I was working in newspapers TV and magazines. While the color we have now is exciting, I still love me some grayscale. This is from the top end of the back road to Bostwick Park. When I was working the image in final edit I noticed the sun but I took it for a bad pixel issue. But I looked at the other exposures of the same scene and the white dot was there. The broad daylight color version is not nearly as exciting as the grayscale.

I was doing news in the early 60s, on Channel 13 in Yuma , AZ, when we got an order for a whole bunch of spots for a Ginsu Knife. In great pitchman style, the blade was pitched as the best thing since sliced bread. And it was incredible as a bread slicer. You could run the serrated blade over rocks, railroad rails, and still cut paper-thin tomato slices. They said it was indestructible.. I finally bought one in the early 70s. It has been in my knife block for almost 50 years. My original chef's knife is about as old. The name Ginsu conjures up a magical image of a Japanese Samurai, but the fact is Ginsu knives are an American product from Clyde Castings Company located in Rhode Island.. The famous indestructible Ginsu was the Quikut it is the one made famous on TV. But Clyde has been making professional quality knives of all sorts since 1921. It is still my go-to for slicing bread and it will still cut a thin slice from a ripe 'mater. Oh. and it is dishwasher-safe

I have driven by this old outfit many times without seeing any change. To my delight there was a change yesterday. Someone has installed an American Flag on the old barn. I have never researched the location, so I have no idea who's outfit it is. Whomever you are, a salute you. This is a pretty complete representation of the Western Slope, and old barn, green grass, feeding livestock, blue sky and white clouds, and, of course the San Juan Mountain anchor the scene.
