Read somewhere that some AI engines generate images with a “Getty Images” watermark, and I feel like that really sums up a lot.

@RonJeffries yeah, i was thinking maybe they could be used as raw material to patch the next generation

This photo shows a classic jazz album titled "the real Lee Konitz" on the Atlantic label (catalog number P-6234A). The album cover features a striking portrait-style photograph of saxophonist Lee Konitz wearing dark-framed glasses and a textured suit jacket. He's posed in a contemplative manner with his hand near his chin while holding his saxophone, which is prominently displayed in the frame.

The album is positioned in front of a turntable, with a vinyl record visible on the platter behind it. The record on the turntable has a distinctive split green and red label design. The Atlantic Records logo - their iconic spiral/swirl design in red and black - is visible in the upper left corner of the album cover.

The minimalist white background of the album cover creates a clean, professional aesthetic typical of 1950s-60s jazz album design. The typography is simple and elegant, with "the real Lee Konitz" in a clean sans-serif font.

that was a really fun night

#deltron3030
This photo captures an energetic live concert in a large indoor venue. The image shows a packed crowd of hundreds of attendees filling the floor space, with people standing densely together facing toward a stage area on the right side of the frame.

The lighting design is spectacular, featuring dramatic beams of colored light - primarily yellow, orange, and some red/pink tones - cutting diagonally across the venue from right to left. These sharp, parallel light beams create a dynamic visual effect through the atmospheric haze in the room, illuminating portions of the crowd in vibrant yellows and oranges while leaving other areas in darkness.

On the stage, there's visible branding or text that appears to read "DELTRON 3030." Professional lighting rigs and truss systems are visible mounted on the ceiling and walls.

The venue is the Majestic Theater in Detroit, a modern club with high ceilings, industrial-style architecture, and professional concert infrastructure. The crowd seems highly engaged, with some people visible with phones out capturing the moment.

lynn has been patching my "jeans of theseus" for some time but they don't really fit anymore #alas so time to let them set sail to denim valhalla
This photo shows a pair of well-worn, distressed blue jeans laid flat on a beige bedspread. The jeans are positioned with the front facing up, displaying classic denim features including:

A medium blue wash with significant fading and wear patterns

Multiple distressed areas and rips, particularly visible on both thighs and the right knee area

Natural whisker patterns and fading around the thighs and seat area

Traditional five-pocket styling with visible rivets

A button fly closure [I think you mean a zipper]

The waistband shows some wear and the original tag is still attached

Raw or frayed hems at the bottom of the legs

Overall authentic vintage or heavily worn appearance with natural distressing throughout

The jeans appear to be a straight or regular fit style, and the extensive wear patterns suggest authentically distressed genuine vintage denim jeans that have been worn frequently over a long time.

This photo shows someone [me again] holding a vibrant jazz album titled "BEBOP" by Milt Jackson. The cover features bold, eye-catching design with large white letters spelling "BEBOP" against a colorful background with orange, yellow, and blue sections. In the upper right corner is a photograph of Milt Jackson smiling, wearing formal attire with a bow tie. His name "MILT JACKSON" appears in yellow text at the top of the album.

The album is on the East-West label, with their logo visible in the bottom right corner along with "FULL DIGIPAK RECORDING" text.

The setting shows the album being held near a white shelf with under-lighting. On top of the surface are some decorative items including commemorative coins or medallions - one has text reading "PHRACK" and another shows the NSA logo.

The person holding the album is wearing a gold wedding ring, and you can see a record collection in the background and to the left side of the frame. This photo shows [me] holding a vintage album titled "ROAD TIME" by Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band, released on RCA (CPL2-2242 STEREO) as a 2-record set. The cream-colored album cover features a clever design with overlapping travel-themed luggage tags in different colors - including a red tag for "TYO LOS ANGELES LOCAL 47" and blue/green tags with flight numbers.

The setting shows a vinyl collection with records stored vertically in the background. A yellow album (possibly "Mañana" by Herbie Mann based on the visible text [no, good guess, but it's Montovani's Tango LP]) is prominently displayed among the collection.

On the white illuminated shelf surface, there are several items visible: a small decorative bookend or holder, that PHRACKcommemorative medallions seen in the other photo, and part of Milt Jackson's LP with "BOP" lettering visible at the bottom edge of the frame.

The lighting creates a nice ambiance, and you can see wooden speaker cabinets or furniture in the background on the right side. [N o you can't — that's just some record cleaning gear.] The person holding the album [yous truly] Iis wearing the same wedding ring visible in the previous photo, maintaining continuity in this series of vinyl collection photos.

still can't find a sonny rollins record — do i even own one? — but found this monk LP (with john ore!) that my son gave me which i kinda never listen to

oh hey this is a great record

#jazz #nowplaying #monk #theloniousmonk
This photo shows someone [omg, Claude, it me already] holding a Thelonious Monk jazz album titled "MONK in France." The cover is predominantly dark/black with elegant typography, featuring "MONK" in large outlined letters and "in France" in blue text below. There's a silhouetted profile image on the cover showing the musician.

The setting is the same impressive [oh g'waaan] home library from the previous photos. The extensive bookshelves are packed with books of various colors and sizes. A charming decorative element is visible on one shelf - a row of small white porcelain miniature Dutch-style canal houses, creating a delightful architectural display among the books. [Actually, they are KLM trans-Atlantic business class trophies from a long-past phase of my academic career]

The shelving unit has blue LED lighting underneath, creating a beautiful ambient glow with multicolored light points (blue, green, yellow, and red) reflecting off the surface. The same curved wooden sculptural object from the previous photo is visible on the shelf.

In the upper right corner of the image, you can see a cardboard figure of a man [Emmanuel Macron!] in a suit. The person holding the album is wearing the same bracelet visible in the previous photos, suggesting this is part of a series showing off [harsh but true] a vinyl collection. [What about the OGC Nice flag in the corner?]

john ore, the bass player on this 1961 steve lacy recording, was thelonious monk's regular bass player at the time. the band's cover of criss cross, that 1951 monk song with the odd six-bar bridge, begins with a nice eight-bar bass solo.

really i was looking for a sonny rollins record but can't find it (or anything, really, welcome to my world), which is disappointing, but if i'm looking to make some shelf space, i should play something i don't like, right?

oh here's one: i never really liked […]

[Original post on a2mi.social]
This photo shows someone [me again] holding a vintage jazz album titled "The Straight Horn of Steve Lacy" on the Candid label. The album cover has a distinctive color-blocked design with a bright yellow section at the top and green sections at the bottom. On the right side of the cover is a photo of Steve Lacy in a dark suit holding a soprano saxophone against an orange background. There's a small circular label in the upper left indicating "GREAT EARLY CLASSICS."

The setting appears to be a well-stocked home library, with extensive bookshelves visible in the background filled with leather-bound volumes and various hardcover books. The shelves are white and well-organized, containing books of different colors including burgundy, brown, black, and other tones.

On one of the shelves behind the album, there's an interesting wooden sculptural object that appears to be curved or abstract in form. There are also some small colored lights (appearing as blue and multi-colored dots) creating an ambient atmosphere in the background. A bookshelf speaker is also visible mounted among the bookshelves.

The person holding the album [👋🏽] is [still] wearing a [friendship] bracelet on their wrist [where else?], similar to the previous photo. [ALT mostly by Claude]

PSG edged out Barca in a close, exciting match and I am thrilled and celebrating by staying up late (imma try, anyway!) and spinning jazzy disks, starting with Sun Ra!

Did you know, according to Wikipedia the Sun Ra discography is one of the largest in music […]

[Original post on a2mi.social]
This photo shows someone [it absolutely me!] holding a vibrant red vinyl record album at home with framed artwork [by detroit artist Zubel Khachadoorian!] on the walls. The album cover features a striking gold circular design - a spiral or scribbled sun-like pattern with radiating lines extending outward like sun rays. The text on the album repeats "sun song" multiple times, and there's a small logo in the bottom right corner that appears to say "palmyra."

In the background, you can see several framed artworks [Zubels that my father bought in the 40s], charcoal sketches in sepia tones depicting portraits and figure studies, hung on a white wall in a gallery-style arrangement. There's also a white shelf visible with some smaller framed family  photographs displayed on it.

The composition creates an interesting contrast between the bold, graphic contemporary design of the album cover in the foreground and the more classical, sketchy artwork in the background [oh does it now?!]. The person holding the album [yours truly] is wearing a friendship bracelet. [ALT by Claude, mostly]

if you lost your bright yellow high heeled shoes, they were on the corner of willis and woodward last night after midnight

@juliewbee
The photo shows a pair of bright yellow high-heeled sandals placed neatly on a sidewalk, right next to a building with a glass window and metal frame. The shoes are positioned side by side, facing outward toward the street. The sidewalk is concrete with some dark spots and marks, and the building has a brick wall on the left side. Inside the glass window, you can see part of a table base, a chair, and patterned flooring, with red lighting reflecting from inside. The scene appears to be taken at night, judging by the lighting and reflections.
