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…
