Esther's favorite photos

Spring Tableaux presents a lyrical encounter between photography, botanical memory, and the rapidly advancing language of artificial intelligence–assisted graphic art. The tulips were photographed at the Cloisters (except for the bottom left image which was taken at the New York Botanical Garden) and all the other flowers were photographed at the New York Botanical Garden during Spring 2026. Those original spring photos were transformed by AI into a series of poster works. The resulting compositions blur the boundary between photograph, editorial design, botanical illustration, and museum object. The works mark a significant moment in the evolution of AI as a graphic arts tool. Over the past year, AI’s capacity for visual composition, typographic sensitivity, image integration, and stylistic refinement has improved measurably. What once often appeared generic or technically uncertain can now achieve a level of polish, nuance, and conceptual cohesion approaching professional editorial and cultural design. Spring Tableaux uses that progress as a way of reimagining familiar natural beauty through the grammar of posters, print culture, and exhibition design. Together, the three pieces form a seasonal triptych. They also offer an example of the expanding collaboration between human vision and AI.

Man wird bei solchen Fotoshooting immer kreativ,wenn man mal damit angefangen hat,hier habe ich versucht,die Schatten auch auf die Rückwand zu bekommen :)) Pip1-2: Nahaufnahmen der Springfeder mit Schatten You always get creative with these kinds of photoshoots once you start. Here I tried to get the shadows onto the background too :)) Pip 1-2: Close-ups of the spring with shadows On laisse toujours libre cours à sa créativité lors de ce genre de séances photo. Ici, j'ai essayé d'intégrer des ombres à l'arrière-plan aussi :)) Photos 1 et 2 : Gros plans du printemps avec des ombres

Nur für kurze Zeit... erfreuen wir uns der Pfingstrose. Einige von ihnen habe ich auf dem Markt erstanden. Den Strauch in meinem Garten mußte ich heute wieder abdecken. Frost und einige Schneeflocken sind für heute Nacht angesagt. Trotz willkommenen Regen wünsche ich eine angenehme Woche Erich
