This project’s ambition is to consider the past, present, and future of the printing press, the photo, and storytelling mediums, including motion.
Envisioned as the pinnacle of the peak, the conceptual hub and incubator for projects seeking life and fulfillment. That may sound like a lot, and it may sound a little abstract. So let’s bring it back down to earth a little bit.
A better place to start is looking at the name and what that represents. The press has a couple of meanings related to the media. One is used in relation to journalists or people working for media companies. The other, of more relevance to the interests here, is the printing press.
However, not just what it is physically, but what it represents symbolically, and the timeline of societies changes as influenced by it.
The particular conceptual interest is 3-fold. History, murmurs of social disruption as well as augmentation due to the invention of the printing press. We can also go a little further back to discover what caused the invention of the printing press and how those problems were solved
previously.
The second fold is related to the current application of the printing press and how its function has changed over recent years, leading up to where we are now on the threshold of AI. Artificial intelligence is also causing a social disruption. It has brought both anxiety and excitement. This might depend on a given circumstance or livelihood. Does the technology and changing times represent the bringing of more opportunities or taking away opportunities?

1. Our story in the story, starts at the Channel Islands Harbor in California the year is 1997. I took this beautiful photo on otherwise not so bright day for photography but still a beautiful organic fluid natural shape. Well, I wanted to make an A-frame peak so that’s what I did little reverse and flip-a-roo.

There is an inclination toward intellectual contemplation while analysing the topics that fall into various categories. The reason for this intellectual approach is first, to pay homage, and second, to discover a fulfilling way to profit financially while promoting universal empathy and cultural sustainability for all communities.

2. That wasn’t enough and I happen to have these cool Photoshop filters. I think they were called alien skin and they did different textures like fur clouds stuff like that anyways seem like the flames would go good up there. So I had moved to Maui Hawaii in 97 the first day of nine New Year’s Eve 96 and got my computer a year later my first computer. And proceeded to begin operating as a graphics freelancer under the name of elemental effects. Well, looks like by the year 2000 I toned it down just a little bit.

In that vein, the four words that might encapsulate the components of these considerations can be classified under 1. utility, 2. ecology, 3. artisan, and 4. lifestyle. In life, all the important jobs fall under one or more of these categories; one could say that the latter two, and especially the last one, are less crucial to survival and more a prize of “thrival.” If we ever hear about “lifestyle” in relation to survival, it usually pertains to an older person who needs to quit smoking or take deliberate care of one’s health.

All right and I’ll just fast forward to 2025. These next four renditions are using Topaz Gigapixel AI define AI enabled cloud processed filter.

If artisan represents luxuries leading to entertainment, its base forms are definitely centred around education in the form of storytelling. That it uses the word artisan may be in an unconventional and broader sense, taking advantage of the small word art inside the bigger word. That might tend to imply specifically crafts and more practical, functional products. In this case, it is meant as a wider umbrella and composing media and storytelling across the board. Then when luxury allows, we can relish in not only function but also form.

A-Frame in its literal form, is about letters, language, symbols and a framework structure; foundation.
After an attempt to be deep and thoughtful, always returning to the organic principles, A-Frame means one thing mainly: it’s a type of wave as demonstrated in the photo-image story within the story throughout.

When uploading to discord and using the /describe command I tend to have much better results than with the upload option on the MidJourney website.

The Discord results seem to be more aligned with what I’m looking for but it’s not to say the abstracts below were not beautiful and I’m sure of I played around with the website, I would get a lot of great results, but somehow the discord does something different for me.

These were a couple lovely abstracts that MidJourney came up with through the website upon uploading the source from 2000.


MidJourney Prompt: A photorealistic depiction of an ocean wave, captured from the perspective of someone standing on its edge. The water is deep blue with ripples and splashes visible in motion. Above it lies a sky painted with vibrant hues of orange, red, yellow, and white, creating an abstract background that suggests fire or lightning. This combination creates a dynamic scene where nature’s elements blend seamlessly into each other, evoking feelings of awe and wonder at both tranquility and chaos. — ar 113:42 — v 6 — stylize 250
