AI Wedding Edit

 I've had this photo from Jim and Michelle's wedding for quite some time.  I never was satisfied with the focus and the woman in the foreground was distracting, (Is that Sandra Kay?)

I thought I would run this through Gemini AI in Google Photos and see if I could correct some of the problems with it.  This is the result...

Well, the woman in the foreground is gone and the focus is better, but now it looks like Jim is marrying a different, better looking woman.  Did Michelle ever look that good?  AI still needs some work I guess.

Rugrats Everywhere !

 This is Matt and Tiffany's herd of Rugrats.

Clockwise from the upper left are Skye, Adyn, Sebastian, Ariel and Journiee.

These are the first charcoal portraits I printed.  I gave them to Tiffany and Matt last Christmas.  I've done a lot more since, mostly Rugrats.  People seem to love them, I can't figure out why.

Grown-Up Rugrats ?

 Here are a couple more Rugrats that are grown-up now, or maybe they just think they are.

This Stalkerclan post from 2005 goes back even farther.

Coloring the Past

 Another thing that the Artificial Intelligence in Google Photos can do is colorize old black and white photos.  Do any of these look familiar to you?

I can't explain why Dad's old Plymouth is maroon in one pic and dark blue in another.

Charcoal Rugrats

When Jeff and Randy visited recently they brought a couple of Rugrats with them...

We are glad they finally learned that Aunt Jennie and Uncle Clyde are real people.

Charcoal Memories #5

This collection of memories wouldn't be complete without our favorite teacher.  Here she is about the same age little STANLEY was when his DADDY brought him to school.

Can anyone remember this little girl carrying a "Scrap Bucket" around the neighborhood?

Anyone recognize the "Six Million Dollar Woman" before the doctors replaced all her joints?

Charcoal Memories #1

Here's an old photo that I have converted to a charcoal print using AI in Google Photos.  Can you guess who it is?  Here's a hint, it's from 70 years ago.
