On the Road with AOx5: AI Lied, I Listened
Hi there! I asked ChatGPT for a route based on Kansas ghost towns and was given a laundry list. Apparently, KS is abandoned. So I took a few locations in the same general vicinity, threw them into Google Maps, and street-viewed the areas. Fewer postcard moments than hoped. I chose the ones that seemed to have the greatest potential, because sometimes, the road leads - not justifies. Fauxtographer and I set off. Me driving, which I think horrifies her. Can anyone tell me wtf t

AOx5 The Anita Series, Part II
Hello again, Photography Nerds! Listen. Fauxtographer and I have just done our very first collaborative photography shoot. Of a person ! I realize most people do photoshoots of people - but I don't. Or should I say I hadn't. I had so, so much fun. Fauxtographer took the lead with her posing and artistic vision and I got to circle around for the "forget I'm even here!" candids.
