But it looks so good in the package... might put it back in a few times and take it out again, then repeat... ((Local AI generation on WAN local model)).
More mine. @cliviasanko.bsky.social ((No AI boost version))
Thanks Observer website for not putting the lead image in... Let's go with this one.
((Thanks! It works on phone but maybe PC not fitting. Like to me, because there’s no space on either side it flows. Yeah on the newspaper feel though. Back in the old days, 2008/2009 there used to be a prim newspaper. You could even turn the pages! Thanks for feedback, will probably mix both))
Thank you... it was a first dance of memories and magic moments @cliviasanko.bsky.social - also how come I post this and you post an orgy invitation? Don't make me find ANOTHER way to tie you up in public. ((No Ai))
Finally, (and you will see more of our photos and be able to read about the event shortly on the Observer) we spy a wild Vanora, taking advantage of the weather. ((No AI))
Some seemed to take the ask to come as 'Grid Girls' very seriously (and effectively). The temperature increased... ((no AI))
The car meetup seemed to go well... I mean, I am not entirely sure a Giraffe thong is... But hey, he came by car, rather than roasting his nuts on a bike's saddle. @fitz-the-gerald.bsky.social ((No AI))
Now if only HPD hadn't fined my bike out of existence... news.thecrackden.com/2026/06/rumo... Today.
((Greenscreen at HPAC to prepare for editing and lighting, before GPT gilding and text adjust))
((My kind of idea of AI enhancement. Untouched base image and background taken in-world at HPAC with Light Room and PS work to it. GPT pass to add blood to the stave which I couldn't get to to look right myself. Learning all the time!))
@cliviasanko.bsky.social - Fuck babe, best night out ever. We got a month to make this in the underground. But right now, I want this dance to never end!
Out of Hospital, deaf in one ear and working on various other things wrong with me, but I still take photos, still have a life to live and take one step at betterment at a time. If you need your photos, or even a photography lesson book in with me at the studio. It'll take my mind off it.
OOC: Unacceptable retcon of established fact. Hades Hopper is the Thumbs Up Guy. Fact.
((Taking the SL + LR/PS edits into GPT for final refinement. Note the 'fix' of clipping, but despite tight prompting and the provision of corrective infill material, the AI goes rogue and gives Cliv a new arm tattoo, oh and also sticks my tongue back in! Still working on fix in PS!))
Day 2 of the memory walk.. maybe they're here, maybe they're not. But perhaps you have memories?
Many of you have been here longer than I have. Five years of Hathian is good going, but only a sliver of history. Something you seem to like though is photos of people. Thought I might do one a day of people who may still be here, or may not. Perhaps you have memories? Exhibit 1.
Could have been worse... like this example from the archive.
Here. Someone wholesome from the archives. #putthefireoutyesplz?
