What struck me on that return trip was, above all, the enormous poverty spread among the local citizens and so much traffic and pollution. But I was also touched by what I read as a sense of resignation of those people, bordering on a probable religious vision of life.

Technical note of this photo that I dedicate to my dear friends Bianco-Valente, one of my main “polar stars” in art matters: I asked Photoshop (latest version as a subscriber) to create an image with the Taj Mahal in the background and I specified the atmospheric conditions, light, illumination, etc. I asked Photoshop to also add birds in flight. Then I saved the resulting image. Then I asked the software to create, always in fantasy and non-photographic style, the close-up of an Indian man and I described his clothing, skin color, age and other details. After that, inspired by a magnificent work by Bianco-Valente (which they will describe to you here, if they want) I uploaded that image (from which I had removed the background in the meantime) on ChatGPT and asked this different AI to take inspiration from it and create another one for me with some variations dictated by me. It did it immediately. I uploaded the photo again on Photoshop and, with the “generative expansion”, I had this fantastic tool build the upper part of the man’s head that had been cut (already in the first generation). Then I inserted it into the previous photo and incorporated it in the point you see. Finally I continued, similarly, with the small photo of myself and saved everything, definitively, to propose it to those who follow me.

P.S. I had a lot of fun…
