Thank you, Lannie. I'm thrilled you enjoy my algographs, and I genuinely appreciate your curiosity.

I coined the term 'Algography' about a year ago, inspired by rapid developments in generative AI. My journey with AI, however, began earlier, as I sought to augment my photography with its capabilities. These ventures proved incredibly rewarding, yet I chose to keep the outcomes private for a considerable period. The decision to share these distinct collaborations between my imagination and algorithms prompted the need for a term that could set this body of work apart from conventional photography.

Hence, the inception of "Algography"—a term devised to capture creations that move beyond mere representations of the external world, delving into expressing inner visions influenced by the nuances of physics and technology. Will "Algography" become a widely used term? Time will tell. While its adoption is beyond my control, I introduce it as an option for artists eager to explore the frontiers of technology and expand the boundaries of art.

For more insights into my thoughts on Algography, I invite you to review my response to Camille's comment (just above).

Cheers!
