It all started with a little 2x3 inch black and white photo from over 70 years ago.

Original photograph, 1953 — Ambassador Bridge (Detroit to Windsor)

I was thinking it’s a shame it wasn’t from our “migration” trip on Route 66, for which I have exactly no photos. Until right then, for some reason, I hadn’t thought about image generation as a resource for the memoir project. In fact, even then I was only thinking in terms of AI “Photoshopping” the car and me onto a background photo of the corner in Chicago where US 66 starts from its eastern end.

This post is too full of images to get through all email servers, so please click on this
