Hoping image recognition can soon properly do our tagging !!! Then I can produce new images at 3X my current rate... I have been using AI for the past couple of months. But not for photographs but for more art stuff. I place my designs on products for resale at dog shows and pet expos. This gives me very unique items that other sellers don't have. They have done very well. I embrace the change as my creative self can be set free. I still buy photos when that is what I need, but for creative stuff out of my imagination, I am loving AI.

Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Brian "The Brain" Yarvain !! also known by his inner circle as "The Pennsylvanian" I love PA !! 😁 when 😁 its 😁 above 😁 70F 😁 oh man we are all over the Internet aren't we... I just asked ChatGPT to make me a specific photo itinerary; it turned out kinda generic & rushed, but... (its the only AI I know about at this time, folks) me: I am a stock photographer. Construct an hour by hour Miami area photo itinerary for March 27, 2023. Include enough time to take photos at each stop. Include any events specific to that date. ChatGPT: Certainly! Here's an hour-by-hour photo itinerary for Miami area on March 27, 2023: 9:00 AM - Start your day by heading to South Beach to capture the stunning Art Deco architecture and vibrant beach culture. Take photos of the colorful lifeguard towers, palm trees, and the ocean view. 10:00 AM - Visit the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, which is a National Historic Landmark. This 28-acre estate features a beautiful mansion, stunning gardens, and waterfront views of Biscayne Bay. Take photos of the Italian Renaissance-style gardens, fountains, and the architecture of the mansion. 11:00 AM - Drive over to the Wynwood Walls, an outdoor museum of street art in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District. Take photos of the colorful murals and graffiti walls. There may even be live painting events or special exhibitions taking place. 12:00 PM - Grab lunch at one of the many restaurants in the area. I recommend checking out the food hall at the 1-800-Lucky Market for some delicious Asian-inspired cuisine. 1:00 PM - Visit Little Havana to capture the vibrant Cuban culture and colorful streets. Take photos of the famous Calle Ocho, the colorful buildings, and the street art. Stop by Domino Park to capture the locals playing dominoes. 2:00 PM - Head to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, a lush oasis in the heart of Miami Beach. Take photos of the exotic plants, flowers, and sculptures in the garden. 3:00 PM - Visit the Miami Design District to capture the high-end architecture and luxury shopping scene. Take photos of the contemporary buildings, high-end stores, and art installations. 4:00 PM - Drive over to the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), a modern and contemporary art museum in Downtown Miami. Take photos of the unique architecture of the museum and the art installations inside. 5:00 PM - End your day by heading to the Miami skyline view at the Brickell City Centre. Take photos of the skyscrapers, waterfront views, and the sunset. That's a full day of photography in Miami area on March 27, 2023! Of course, feel free to adjust the itinerary to your interests and pace. Edited March 26, 2023 by Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Yarvin Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 BTW ... most people spell it "Yarvin" but you are permitted "Yarvune" and only those two. Here is roughly my schedule the last time I made a trip to Miami specifically for stock photography: Coffee at beachside shop. Practice my Italian by taking a table near a group of Italian actors and models. (3 hours) Back to my room to make sure my camera and flash batteries are charged. Grab a quick nap. (2 hours) Lifestyle shoot on Lincoln Road with local models. (2 hours to set up and break down, 1 hour to shoot) Back to coffee shop. Meet model agency staff. More Italian practice. (1 hour) Twilight shoot of Art Deco hotels (30 minutes) Back to my room for a snack and turn in for the night. I did this five days in a row, although I twice shot in the design district instead of South Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Brian my lifestyle brother from another model mother, Yarvain, oh man my bad mate, how could I ??!! but it rhymes with you "The Brain" that is an amazing itinerary, top-notch I hope it was 2022, not 2002... regardless, you sir, are still superior to AI in your scheduling skills... 🤑 🤑 🤑 🤑 ChatGPT: is "Mr. Pennsylvania" over-napping?

Brian Yarvin Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Jeffery Isaac: It was in 2000 - the very end of the paper catalog days and a time when South Beach, the Costa del Sol, Marina del Rey, and Sutton Place Park in Manhattan were all filled with lifestyle stock photographers, actors, models, and stylists. Describing those shoots, the great creativity and excitement surrounding them, and the money they generated, is a pointless waste of time today. One thing remains the same - I'm in the bottom rung of stock photography earners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Yarvin Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Jeff, thank you for the kind words. Let me just say that those were incredible times. The downslide of stock photography has been very painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
