Yeah, thank you very much, sir. Good morning to the group. Hope everybody's doing OK. Move this mic a little closer. That'd probably help out a lot. Not much going on here. Got up real early this morning. Got, I was bored, so I started doing stuff with Chat GBT. There's so much stuff you can do with this thing. But I basically had it analyzed on the whole website in my Flickr account at the same time and asked it what it thinks my end goal game is. So it came back and it gave me a really good depiction of what I'm trying to do. That right word, depiction? I don't know. And it was spot on on that part. But then it says, OK, you have your stories and you have your pictures. The stories can stand alone. You could publish them without pictures and they would do just as good. But the stories are what are helping your pictures, because quite frankly, your pictures are kind of mediocre. Most definitely of amateur standing for sure. Talk about brutal honesty. So my pictures are so-so. My stories are great. You combine them together, you got something there. But you've got to become a much better photographer if that's what you want to do. Then I started analyzing each picture, the ones you could ask for landscapes and portraits and so forth like that. And I came back with what was good about them and what was bad about them. And I noticed each one, even though it's a form of candid street photography, it was expecting me to have all kinds of props available to make the picture better, the setting, the composition, so forth like that. I have this picture of a boat in the water and the sun is gleaming down on the boat, nice silhouette and everything else. And they said, oh, you should have had this and that and there's nothing like that in there unless you had a prop room in the back of the van in your truck and you could pull all this crap out and set it up in just the right position while you're waiting for that boat to stay exactly where it's at, because it's the perfect shot. You know that kind of thing? So in one way it was disappointing. Another way I found it very interesting what it came up with, let it reset.
