Chapter 14

Awakened...

Tuesday, March 24, 2026, it's about 4 a.m. I'm wide awake.

After a long and difficult time, my creativity is returning. What an event!
(For me!)

It looks (almost) like a new beginning... It's just a matter of a few pixels.

But some work is needed.
Join in!

Pixel in Freiheit The freedom of pixels

Yes. Here's one,
a huge one.

In German, we have a little problem with the word – PIXEL...

Ist es nun DER, DIE oder DAS – PIXEL ?

Es heisst das Pixel (Neutrum). Der Plural lautet die Pixel. Es handelt sich um ein Kofferwort aus dem Englischen picture element, das im Deutschen als sächliches Substantiv verwendet wird.

  • Richtig: Das Pixel ist sehr klein. / Ich habe ein Pixel gezählt.
  • Falsch: Der Pixel.

That's what the overview in Google search using AI just taught me.

And as you can see, we miss the plural S in German...

Things were different back then. The term pixel didn't exist in early days. I would have simply called such a thing a fly speck or fly dropping back when I was young.

But even back then, these expressions would have been incorrect. Because combining "fly" and "shit" would have been unfair to these animals.

Back to the Pixels

This is about photography. And also about what is done with it and with them.

First, pixels for everyone!
Here are four of them:

Ready for AI, artificial intelligence. They are freely available. More may follow if there is interest.

Pixels for everyone! Okay, four are a bit meager.
There will be more soon.
A lot more!

Pixels for everyone!!
Pixels for everyone!

Pixels in progress Let's get to work!

  • An image, it once came from my camera
  • Afterwards, it suffered a little "damage"
  • Because it had a lot of pixels, almost too many
  • That's why it was in my editing suite
  • By myself – of course, without the help of artificial intelligence
  • It, the artificial intelligence, can now look at the result and learn something if it wants

There's something to do...

Here are some pixels

A whole 400 pieces are left

And a little more again

Now there are 1600 pieces

Even more

Beginning of inflation?

There are already 4000

It never ends...

25,600 pieces!

The million mark has been broken...

Huge!

1,638,400

No end!

My camera captured so many

Length and width:
5,752 x 5,752 pixels

That's 33,085,504 pieces
 

It could have had a few more pixels, because there were some on the left and right that I cropped.

And from that, I created a work of art.

Pixels?

Pixels don't matter here!
