Corvette Nirvana
It’s no secret that I love Corvettes. I have always loved them, and I suspect I will always love them. That’s why I photograph every Corvette I can at the local car shows; lately, I see Corvettes everywhere. So, given that I’ve shot hundreds of Vettes at car shows, at the National Corvette Museum, and as reference for my paintings, I thought I’d share a few pics with you here, starting with the video above, featuring music by GC (Gate Citizens) featuring Emmillienne.

Beauty in the Abstract: A.D. Cook and Hyper-Realism Art
Long before artificial intelligence consumed all conversations related to the blurred line of assisted creativity, artists had often found themselves at the center of the question, “How is art defined?” Art, whether a sculpture, painting, photograph, theatrical production, or film, is inherently subjective and interpreted only through the eyes of the individual viewing it at that given moment.
