A cousin of mine is helping work on a volume of poetry and asked if I had more images specifically of San Francisco or New York City in the style of “Wild California” Studies — AI Generative Art gallery that they could consider for inclusion. I didn’t, but I whipped some up.

I’m pretty fond of how a lot of them turned out, but, as with so many of these projects, I wound up making many that are visually striking but not really much more than that artistically, and the work remains to be done to winnow down all the striking images to the ones that really are special

Until then, I’m so fond of them, though, that I thought I’d give a preview. Here’s the complete output of those experiments, awaiting the best of it being culled down into the final presentation.

Right now I’ve got them stored all in my Flickr account so as not to take up server space on wee little server with hundreds images I’m not actually going to keep on display permanently. Let Yahoo deal with it. (Not that you’re going to see them if you actually go to my Flickr account, especially if you don’t have an account there, because Flickr is a totally broken shitshow apparently run by control freaks who’d rather have a broken system where they can control what you share and what you don’t than a working system where you get to be the one who decides that. But at least I can include them here from there. )
