Photoshopped Cats

I’ve recently discovered the filter feature of Photoshop Elements. Not meant for serious photographers, I’m sure; but handy for snapshotters like me, to make a boring image more interesting, or to salvage a bad photograph (like the one of Boo with an overexposed corner.)

So here are the results of some of my playing around this week (click the images for larger versions):

This week’s Carnival of Cats is at Laurence’s place; next week’s is here at Watermark. Get those entries in before 1700 mountain time on Sunday.

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
