Intriguing Vistasâ„¢ who? đŸ™ƒ
We are travelers that just can't get enough of the beauty that Mother Nature creates!Â
An online store named Intriguing Vistas™ was never in my wildest dreams something that was going to be in my future. Ever, I'm not kidding. Anyone that knows me and reads this will be laughing at how true this is! Funny how things happen and I'm now doing something that makes me smile everyday. And I think I'm pretty good at! Please tell me how wrong I am about that!
My retirement plan was completely different than where it is headed currently and I'm quite alright with that. Life had other plans and you can choose to jump on board, hang on and see where you go, or stay at the station wondering what happened to your life........I've always thought standing at the station was a waste of time.... way too much to do and see.
Oh, the name.... hmmm, well it's kind of simple and I think, kind of cool.
Beside the fact that it fits perfectly with how we try to live life, It is a play on words as well. If you look at our profile picture (I'll wait while you look) back? ok... what you are looking at is a 1996 (yup 1996) Country Coach Intrigue, Vista edition diesel pusher coach. Which has taken us across the U.S. twice so far with excursions up and down both coasts as well. We are not even close to being done with travelling and capturing as much of the beauty that North America has to offer as is possible. The artwork I have to work with so far, is mind boggling!!! That library is growing daily too!
I think this could be a really cool ride...and if you see some old guy driving an antique RV with his head hanging out the window like a dog, smiling and waving......yeah that's probably me.Â
Art Theft is a CRIME!! It has no place here and never will!
In my mind, using AI to create images from nothing but commands on a keyboard is Art Theft. Not a point of discussion, it is.
AI gets those images from what it has been exposed to and learned from, which has been the work of a millennia of artists....human artists. Stop supporting this practice.
Nothing and I mean nothing, is used in the images that you see on our products that wasn't in the original picture that I started with. I use a few different programs to achieve the look I want from each image. The one addition I do make, is to add our trademark to our images.
That's it.
