I'm tired of the Malignarc. I'm tired of politics. I'm almost tired of petunias . . . but a little wine, good glass, and good software go a long way toward having some hope for the world and my small place in it.

Of course I'm bored.

My albatross: Democracy v. Trump on X, day after week after month.

My condition: ageing.

My arts: disarrayed.

My photography: I'll take credit for atmosphere, color, and composition; my technology may and must be given credit for several aspects of recording--clarity, color, presence, and sharpness.

All of these were taken yesterday with a Fujifilm X100F, hand-held and without other than a standard UV/Haze filter. Software: On1 with a digital Kodachrome pass and a AI routine for the elimination of noise and the addition of a final sharpening.

For all of us, there's a lot of science and technology x exquisite engineering and mathematics preceding and following every click--that's now a digitized sound as well--of the "shutter release" (electronic actuation of a sensor).

Thank you for the likes and comments on preceding images. I hope that you will enjoy these as well.

On another planet in a parallel universe--visual coolness . . . .

Oh this newfangled AI--look what IT has done to my petunias!

Hot day, this first of summer . . . .
