A Tribute To The 50's Pinup Genre - a photo on Flickriver

I make no apologies. I loved the 50's. There was an innocence of the spirit. Or so it seemed. The styles of clothes, hair dos, the colours. Fodder for a stylistic parody. A caricature of the time. So easily recognizable.

You would think that it is easy enough to prompt AI to produce the synthographic image I present before you. Not so. It is a laborious task that, like photography, requires selecting a model, hair style, clothing, setting, lighting, a camera and lens as well as all other parameters that would yield a basic photographic image. Further, the image needs (according to me) to be enhanced through my post production process in Photoshop, which is my software of choice.

So that and writing about it is the art. The fact that it has no specific intention to please anyone else but me, makes it pure art. I explore investigate, research and produce. There is no client to influence me. No gallery owner to tell me what will sell. I decide how and when to expose it to the public. This is my expression. AI is just another tool in my process, which I am still learning and honing my skills in. That too is the art.

Perhaps I am naive, but I don't agree with those who express fear and doom for humanity because of AI. Sure there will be those that will suffer because of it. Especially those who will not embrace it. It's coming. One has to decide. Is it coming for you and your job, or is it coming to help you in your life. I for one choose to tame it and make it work for me. Like all other technologies before it, and I've seen many, that rendered skills and professions obsolete, this technology will do the same. Nevertheless we now have a better world because of it. A world that no doubt can use a great deal of improvement still, but that is going beyond the simplicity of technology. I am speaking of the realm of spirituality. A topic for further discussion at another time.

Great art requires dedication, time and effort.
But above all there are costs involved as well.
Equipment, props and model fees, not to mention time,
are all "out-of-pocket" expenses for the artist.
