I'm doing research on my ancestors and found Major Maj. Andrew McClary Jr., Jr. is my direct ancestor (9 generations)'s. He was born September 8 1720 in Ulster, Province, Ireland died June 17 1775 in the Battle of Bunker Hill, Boston, Suffolk, MA and was the last American soldier to die during the battle.

I've taken my #AIContentCreation to the next level.
I'm now able to create text, images and video directly on my own computer with #OpenSource #AI tools.
Here's one of the first images I've created, more to come soon...
I created 4 #portraits of #DavidBowie from 4 different decades with 4 different #film types with #AI.
A portrait of David Bowie from 1960's using Kodak Tri-X B&W film created with Midjourney
A portrait of David Bowie from 1970s's using Polaroid film created with Midjourney
A portrait of David Bowie from 1990's using LomoChrome Metropolis film created with Midjourney
A portrait of David Bowie from 2000's using FujiColor Superia film created with Midjourney
Las Vegas Body Painting Documentary
I was hired to shoot some stills during the taping of a body painting documentary project here in Las Vegas. As the video crew captured footage for a Canadian Fashion TV show HOTBOX Salon owner David Bangham and an artist from Ultra Violet Extreme Performance transformed Stephanie into a fashion runway model.
I had a body painting artist from Germany call and ask me if I could photograph some girls he was painting at a trade show. He would literally paint them all day at the conference then I would show up at the end of the day and photograph them.
Contrasts & Similarities In Photos

All Photos Have A Story!
I did this #selfportrait on 12-27-2004 two days before my birthday. I was in #photography school at the #hallmarkinstituteofphotography at that time. I was testing old manual #vivitar #flashes for a #photoshoot I was getting ready to go do with some #tattoo #girls.
#photographer #photographerlife I really like the #dark mood of the lighting and how it lit up my eye. I carried that vision into my session with the girls. Here's some shots of the #suicidegirls I captured. I went to their apartment in #boston where they lived together.
We hung out for a bit getting to know each other then they got #naked and I took some #photos. They even showed me some of their favorite #sextoys. I love my job! If you'd like to pose for me and do some #sexy photos get in touch.
Art Of The Chopper - Indian Larry
Back in 2004 I helped photographer Tom Zimberoff photograph a bunch of motorcycles all over the country for his book Art Of The Chopper 2.
One of the people we photographed three months before his death was Indian Larry. He was one cool dude!
He called himself a Lone Wolf because he never joined a motorcycle club. I consider myself a Lone Wolf as well because I have my own rule book I go by and most people think I'm a little whacked!
I helped setup for this shot of Indian Larry and sat for Tom to do some test shots.
They have always been some of my favorite portraits.
Here's a snap shot of me on the Aerosmith custom chopper.
When I learned #transcendentalmeditation and received my #TM #mantra my teacher and I stood in front of an #alter similar to this so I thought I would create one at home where I #meditate two times a day. This is to honor #maharishimaheshyogi and his teacher #jaigurudev
Are We Living In A Computer Simulation?
How do you know if what you are seeing on the Internet is real?
Is it possible most of what you see is created by Artificial Intelligence?
Some people say that the internet is dead and a lot of what you see is fake content created by AI and that we are living in a simulation of some kind.
I watched a documentary the other day called A Glitch In The Matrix. The people in this movie talk about how they believe that we are living in a real computer simulation like in the movie Tron.
I've seen a lot of profiles and content online that could be fake and generated by artificial intelligence. If there's no realism or personality to the content it just doesn't feel real. Kind of like when you go to a business website and they use all stock photos. Yes, all the photos look good but they are not real, they are actors and models.
Artificial Intelligence is good enough now to create any kind of content from photos of people that don't exist to full podcasts with your voice that you didn't make. You can even put yourself into a classic movie with deep fake technology.
This Person Does Not Exist
All of the photos you see on this website are generated by AI they do not exist in real life.

How To Stand Out In The Crowd
If you want to stand out in your online marketing the best thing you can do is to not act like a robot or anything a robot can create. You need to be as real and interactive as possible.
That means you need to create real content on a regular basis. You need to find a way to reach beyond the screen and connect with people in real life (IRL).
I find it refreshing when I meet real people online and have real conversations with them and then take those conversations to the real world.
How about you?
Are you just liking posts and scrolling on your device like a mindless robot or are you really connecting with people you meet online and really getting to know them?
I'm Back!
For the past year I pretty much abandoned social media including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. I also quit using a smart phone more about that later in a future post.
Now I'm back and I have a whole new mindset and plan for how to use the internet and social media. That's the important part to take away from this post.
I feel a bit like Alice In Wonderland coming back to Social Media
But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
You need to use Social Media and NOT let it use you.
I encourage you to start following me as I lay out my thoughts and teach you what and how I'm using the internet to reach more real people and stand out in the sea of fake content and bots.
Let's Connect
In this day and age it's even more important that we create real and lasting connections with humans and that principle will only become even more valuable valuable in the days ahead.

How can I help you tell your story today?
Here’s a photo I took while visiting Sausalito, CA. This photo means so much more to me now that I’m doing transcendental meditation. Watch this video where Maharishi explains TM and you’ll understand why. https://youtu.be/xpaI5_APqek

I love Vegas Showgirls!
I love doing headshots and my clients love them too and many of them keep on using them for long long time. Here’s what Cindy had to say about her experience with me.
“Wayne is creative and fun photographer, and absolutely very trustworthy and reliable. Thanks Wayne.” -- Cindy Nguyen
Even churches realize the importance of getting new headshots. I’ve worked with Greg Sinclair, Pastoral Associate over at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Roman Catholic Church in Las Vegas for years. Check out their Staff page to see more photos.
Here’s what Greg had to say about his experience.
“Wayne is wonderful to work with. His professional approach to photography and attention to detail set him apart from others in Las Vegas. He has an innate ability to put people at ease and draw the best out of a subject. He made our parish staff look great in our photo directory online. I recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who cares about his work and your end product.”
I can setup a studio and do professional headshots anywhere. Here’s a setup I did for a law firm in Las Vegas using green screen. I also provide touch-less photography and a socially distance option for viewing your photos on big high definition monitor. I also give you a lint roller and mirror so you can look great in your photos.
