Pictures Of Charleston
2023-02-09

I’m a photographer. Like, love cameras so much that I got a master’s degree in photography. I make a lot of weird and conceptual art, but I also just enjoy making pretty pictures. Experiencing those moments and freezing them in time makes me happy. I moved to Charleston, South Carolina a few years ago, and it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The old cobblestone streets, vibrant beach sunsets, the quaint old buildings. I’ve taken so many pictures down here and thought, well, how would MidJourney do at this?

I spent the day making hundreds of fake photographs of Charleston in MidJourney. I basically would pick a theme like sunsets or sandy beaches, added “photography of” and “in Charleston” and then used various photographic terms like “long exposure” or “depth of field” and came up with a pretty great final collection. I was amazed. They felt like home, but were not. They seemed like places I knew, but they didn’t exist… We are almost at that place where AI imagery can almost feel like a photograph. Below is a grid of pictures of Charleston - half of them are my photographs and half of them are AI.

(FYI: Reading like a book, my photography is 2, 5, and 6)

Fonts In MidJourney

Don’t Use GTP

A little warning on this post. Usually I am a nice and helpful guy, but time to time I need to go on an angry rant, lol... GPT is an amazing AI technology, and incredibly helpful for everything from communication to coding, but it is NOT for MidJourney. When I posted...

Willow Dog Runs

I have a little corgi puppy that I adore, but she is a bit crazy. We like taking her for hikes in the woods, but she seems to think the point of hiking is to run at full speed, like it's a race, gotta win! It makes me laugh, and so I wanted to make a flicker animation...

Tutorial: Batcher, For Batching

So I just made a new tool in Prompter called… Batcher… and It does exactly what you'd think, you know, it batches, duh. If a prompt builder is designed to create one prompt, why not have one to create TONS of prompts to pick from?! Typing sucks. Check a box next to...
