/imagine Midjourney+Brett

this is a story told between myself, Brett, and the psudeointelligence known as Midjourney v4. i previously shared lines from a previous post (here on Medium after Cowbird was shut down: https://bmccall17.medium.com/ok-medium-ive-been-looking-for-you-e0c5f9ba6da8). the only rule for generating the images was to use each line exactly as it was written as the prompt. in other words, no deviations or alterations were allowed in my processs. this was that post, shared as is: https://medium.com/@bmccall17/ok-medium-ive-been-looking-for-you-3ccaa4b80bc7

i then made another post where I took that original first post, upscaled it, then used it as a reference for the rest of the piece. https://bmccall17.medium.com/ok-medium-ive-been-looking-for-you-an-exploration-of-variations-47862d332469

now, i am going to start with a fresh run of the prompt, pick one, then daisy chain the first image to create the second without keeping the original prompt, and the second to make the third, etc… i ended up making a few exceptions as Midjourney started to get too far away from the original imagery.

its just another day in the life! ~Brett

ok medium… ive been looking for you

i have been with the Cowbird community
for five years
with writings, readings, and art
but they just closed the doors to new content

and i cant stand being without
some place to drop some words
and push my thoughts
outward

then
my coworker and friend
Janae
reminded me of medium

immediate excitement
the kind of excitement
i have for a sudden
new love

its hot
****
consuming
and i will indulge in it

because i know myself!

super happy to have found
you
here
with room to write

and opportunities to
engage.

[[and a bonus cause this guy looks like he is across the table with this response over megaphone]]

((((yall, i just love this. I'm so satisfied adding the element of something as chaotic and dreamy as AI has been to play around with! what a journey to be on with you MJ! ~bam)))
