I like to take old photographs and give them the history they deserved but never got. Adjust the sky, nudge the shadows, add the one inconvenient fact the textbooks misplaced. Strangely enough, that’s when the image starts to feel true.
For example: a neat 1930s shot of Hollywood, all sunshine and optimism. Except this time, there are saucers overhead, hanging like they own the place, stitching laser fire through the skyline. Explosions bloom politely between palm trees.
The prompt was simple: “UFOs in the sky firing beams. Keep it close to the original. Make it feel like it fits.”
That’s the secret. Don’t paste fantasy on top—let it behave as if it had always been scheduled.
Compare the before and after. One is the past as recorded. The other is the past with its mask off.
