The positives and negatives of AI.

August 24th, 2026

This is an Ad that I have recently been working on.

The main image was created using AI.

‘Back in the day’ when everything was analogue, this image would have cost a lot of money and taken days, if not weeks, to produce.

This one took me about an hour.

The positive is, that we can produce an image like this, for a Business to Business client and it doesn’t cost them the earth.

To photograph this image in the 1980s’ would have required the following:

A photographer, with an assistant, a location scout, vehicle hire and transport. Then at least two days on location, with accommodation and meals for all concerned.

The negative is, that none of those people are needed any more.

It’s people and the jobs they once had, who are the losers with AI.

Don’t believe a word she says.

She won’t do anything positive for Australia. Just look what her mate, Donald Duckwit, has done to America. 

Donald, you’ve ducked it again.

After three months of worldwide upheaval, you still don’t have a deal with Iran. 

Failed again Duckwit. 

This Dumb Blonde is everybody’s fool.

Sorry Dolly.

“Where are you from?”

April 24th, 2026

This is a question that we are continually being asked, by restaurant staff, as well as taxi and Uber drivers. 

Once we say “Australia” they are not only relieved but happy to chat. 

I would hate to be a travelling Yank at the moment. 

Their best answer might be “Canada”.

Australians, if you’re travelling overseas,
wear one of these.

As we are travelling this year, we have found that because we speak English, many people assume we are Americans. 

So due to ‘Donald Fuckwit’s’ erratic behaviour we need to very clearly and quickly point out that we aren’t Yanks and don’t support him. 

Equally, you could be an American, who doesn’t agree with the idiot, so you also need to flag your preference. 

The answer is simple, wear a badge, or anything that shows how you feel.  

If you want to live in a circus, elect a clown.

It’s a sad indictment of Americans, that they have elected a clown, to turn their country into a circus.  

The Iranians disliked the Yanks in 2014,
they won’t think any better of them now.

These posters were part of an anti US and Israeli exhibition that we visited in Yazd, Iran in 2014. 

I only captured the anti US ones as they were better. 

Tunisian posters that will wet your appetite.

As we were driving around Tunisia, on our two week adventure, I came across these ads for pasta.  

They are simple, bold and very eye catching. Plus the talent look like real people who are thoroughly enjoying their meal. 

The translation of the headline is “Wow”

They certainly made me want to have pasta for dinner.  

You’re fired.

It can’t happen soon enough.
