Images: Most of the images on this site are my own photography, Creative Commons photos and drawings from Wikimedia or other sources. Some of the recent ones were generated by NightCafe.studio, one of the many new AI generated art programs, like Dall-E or Midjourney AI. I am cautiously exploring this new art form and its impact on fine arts programs like the one at CUNY New York City College of Technology where I teach courses in interactive media.
