In May 2023, I displayed my AI artwork at Waterstreet Studios, featuring images from 15 years of bike rides along the Fox River, captured on my iPhone 6. The exhibition aimed to show how AI can empower anyone to become an artist and engage with audiences.

During a congressional hearing, Robert Wilson, founder of Fermilab, argued that the lab's value lies in fostering a culture that respects dignity and creativity, a sentiment reflected in his sculpture "Broken Symmetry," made from an aircraft carrier's steel. This sculpture was captured in a striking photograph taken through the windshield of a car, emphasizing the profound and accessible nature of modern artistic expression.

Capturing dance-themed photographs of my daughter Chloe by the Fox River, I learned how a dancer uses their body as a canvas, creating a profound connection between the art of dance and the natural environment.

T. R. Ōtsuka, a Japanese garden builder who immigrated to the U.S. in 1897, is celebrated through a photograph I took—enhanced by AI to show a fresh perspective—of his notable Japanese-style garden at the Fabyan estate in Geneva, a tribute to his legacy.

The bronze sculpture "From the Water Comes My Bounty," donated by Buzz Miller in memory of his late wife Linnea, symbolizes the life-giving essence of water and their shared passion for the Fox River, embodying a profound tribute to her legacy and their connection.

During a morning walk with my daughter, I captured the entire Congregational Church of Batavia adorned with Easter wreaths by positioning my phone on the ground for a unique upward angle, showcasing a perspective often unseen in conventional photography.

Reflecting on my first meal at what is now Pal Joey's in Batavia 17 years ago, I captured a sunset photo of the restaurant from the Peace Bridge, reminiscing about the Blue Moon beer that marked the beginning of my local journey, intertwined with the vibrant life and laughter of the riverside.
