This is what I eat every morning as well as late at night when I need a snack — Greek yogurt, with granola for texture, and dried fruits for natural sugar.

 

Chobani is my favorite Greek Yogurt brand. I learned about it many years ago ~2006 when I lived in New York. At the time, I was experimenting with frozen yogurt as a healthier alternative to ice cream.

 

Making homemade ice cream is something that I have been doing since 1995. It is something that I made a lot of. I love making ice cream because most of it is about making the perfect vanilla base and then throwing whatever you want into it to make it special.

 

The perfect vanilla ice cream I make requires 12 egg yolks per quart. It’s not for the faint of heart. You’d be full with just two spoonful.

 

To make frozen yogurt, you need yogurt. If you use regular yogurt, you need to first strain them with cheese cloth, which takes a long time. That’s why I usually just buy greek yogurt to speed up the process.

 

But then I realized that it’s a fantastic product on its own, especially when mixed with granola and fruits. I used to buy all of these things separately, but when I discovered Kellogg’s having this dried fruits and granola mix, I started buy that instead.

 

Quick and simple. That’s how all food should be.

I have always wanted to figure out what these things say...

I have been experimenting with using my own photography as a source image to influence image generation with Stable Diffusion. seeminglee.com/blog/serenity-ai-purple/

 

The rationale behind this is straightforward — I have taken lots of photos over the years, but the conditions under which they were taken were not always ideal. Photography is subject to a myriad of influencing factors, and even with a specific vision in mind, nature may not cooperate to allow that vision to be captured perfectly. Similarly, the ideal setting we imagine might simply not exist in reality.

 

That’s where the power of AI comes in. I’ve discovered its phenomenal ability to materialize the concepts I feed into it. A potential point of contention is that since these images are AI-generated, they might be perceived as the product of AI rather than my own creativity. This viewpoint occasionally arises among those unfamiliar with AI work. I personally disagree, but I’ll reserve that discussion for a separate post.

 

Considering these images are the fusion of my original photographs and my descriptive text prompts, the notion that they’re devoid of human creative input seems baseless. As such, in my opinion, they are completely entitled to copyright protection.

 

I plan on experimenting this further, exploring diverse series and themes. My archive is filled with photographs that I find intriguing but seem to be missing that final touch to elevate them. I’m optimistic that by leveraging text prompts, I’ll be able to address these shortcomings and conceive new creations that blend my photography and the power of imaginative prompting.
