Hope you enjoy this short, imperfect AI reimagination of a few of my favorite photos. Apparently, hands and limbs are still a bit of a challenge for the video generator—but kisses and love? Those come through loud and clear.
I’m officially moving today. Movers are due shortly. Once I’m settled and back online at the new place, I’ll catch up on all comments and messages.
Until then, big thanks for all the encouragement and patience during the move!
Keep calm and carry on…
Clint 🌈✌️

The AI bit was amazing and amazingly good. Made it seem so real. I almost got excited.
Glad you like these, David. I love seeing what they look like in motion. A fun way to use AI in my book. Cheers!
So kissy kissy. Mmm lovely. Welcome to your new domicile, darling man. Relax and be happy.
Was hoping you might enjoy all the reimagined loving. Appreciate the welcome…loving the new digs, dear Ray! Safe travels to you. :-*
Thanks Clint, Remby and Linda Ronstadt. Linda and her then boyfriend J D Souther used to enjoy hearing their neighbor Harry Dean Stanton. singing canciones next door.
What a cool trio. My guess is they lived in Laurel Canyon. Lots of singers (and other interesting folk) live/lived there. Love going to estate sales there.
