📷 This week’s photo is Hank, Waylon and Willie (in the back). They were dumped a few months ago on US 60 and the road that goes to our town cemetery. A few of us visited, fed and watered them daily until we gained their trust. One of the people that were doing this was able to get them to their home. Hank and Waylon are up for adoption, but Willie stole their heart, so he will not be leaving.

This post contains a list of recent photography posts that I considered noteworthy. Hopefully, you'll discover something useful as well.

AI News and Tools

A couple of posts on how to spot photos generated by AI. I find AI interesting, but if I post an image that I created using AI, I will say how it was generated. I like creating artsy AI imagery, so you can actually tell it’s not real at first sight. There are people out there that use AI images to “stir the pot” so to speak.

I am Rhonda Tipton, a photographer and aspiring digital artist residing in the small town of Wenden, Arizona. My work includes a wide range of subjects; however, I feel my purpose on this Earth and specialty is telling the stories of those without a voice through my pet, animal shelter and rescue photography.
