REGARDING THE ARCHIVE
OK, thanks for all the negative responses in regards to Photo Opportunity #75 _ it has now been removed. It's funny, because I began the Archive (and in particular - Photo Opportunity) in order to try and bring fans something ‘new’ - and I have on numerous occasions - but you know what, the compliments and positive responses in comparison to the negative comments - which people are so quick to jump on, is becoming a bit tiresome. I was discussing with a close friend this morning (from my hospital bed) if it was really worth continuing? It feels like AI has really fucked up the world, I was never a fan of it, and it appears to have stripped away all integrity in determining if something is genuine or not? I'm proud that I've never posted junk on the archive - I've turned down invites from TV companies around the world because they've simply wanted to focus on 'how many affairs' or ‘how many kids Clint has' - fuck off, I'm not interested....
I've contributed to half a dozen good books and a very good documentary - that's fine with me. But I'm not happy with the state of technology - it's good, and it's clever - but how on earth can legitimacy be relied upon again?
I thought about finishing it all on the archive - and discussed it this morning. However, I came to the conclusion that from here on, it will be utilising material that I know is 100% genuine, stuff that was gathered and collected long before this AI shit took hold. So there may be a Photo Opportunity every month, but try not to moan if it is something you've seen before - I've given up trying to source new(old) material. Thank 'technology' for that one.
Yes, I know I made a typo with white rocks and white sands - I’m surviving on a couple of hours sleep a night and on Dialysis days I get absolutely NO sleep at all - but I continue to make the effect in order to present something for the 'fans'. YES I had all the same concerns about the star, the clapperboard, the belt buckle - do people really think I wouldn't? But I went with it - at worse I thought it may have been a stand-in for the Eastwood / Dern fight scene? I made a decision, and stand crucified for it.
Anyway, expect much less in future, I really don't have time for this shit anymore.
