Hello again! So glad you could join me in my newsletter. Please, pull up a chair next to the fire. Yes, that's it. Would you like some hot chocolate? There, now you can get all warmed up––you're dripping wet! How's the work been going this week? I see, well that's certainly something. And the family? Mm-hm, just like them isn't it? Oh don't mind old Cujo there, he loves a good scratch behind the ears. How have I been, you ask? Well…
Liz, I appreciate you web tips. I hardly do any web surfing on my own, so it’s nice t get your whimsical pointers. I was really amazed what has been accomplished in colorizing old black and white films with AI. There used to be a cottage industry in colorizing black and white photographs by hand. The mom of one of my grade school friends had a studio in their home and specialized in large portrait photographs. There’s a scene in my novel, A Tale of Two Times, in which the travelers guidebook recommends taking note’s on the colors of a popular scene so the colorized version is authentic. Keep up the good work!
Awhile back we had an exchange about GM Hopkins’s idea of inscape. I’ve found a book on the whole subject (cheap on Thriftbooks) which I’ve started to read. It’s pretty dense but rewarding, so I give it a ten or fifteen minute wack on most days. The book is “Inscape” by James Finn Cotter. A good book is so much bigger than most web sites! JBSP
