40 Street Photos From 4,000 Years of Time Travel

I have a pretty interesting idea for a bunch of AI creations. I was working on some of my Great Wall of China photos, and I thought, gosh, this would be an interesting place to time travel and take photos! But then I thought, hey can I also go back to ancient Japan, Moscow in the 50s, Iran in the 70s (before Sharia law required women to cover their shameful and sinful bodies), India in the 1800s- and, all the way back. to Cairo in 2000BC, etc. Anyway, that’s the origin of this idea.

I do all sorts of locations and timelines. I also use different camera parameters, different lenses, different camera settings, all of which you can set in AI. I am very pleased with the result!

Before I share these new AI creations, maybe you want to take a look at some of my latest thematic AI creations. Enjoy!

– 60 Stills from Wes Anderson Sci-Fi Movies That Didn’t Exist
– 32 People Not On Burning Man
– 20 Entities I Met And Inspired From The Reality Of The DMT
– 27 tribes from remote villages in Papua New Guinea that people have never met
– 31 Burning Man art installations in Burning Man that don’t exist

BTW, I started a new Instagram AI account @Trairatcliff so I can stick to my main Instagram more with traditional photography. Be one of the first to join! And tell your friends, but only the cool ones… not the energy vampire friends you want to get rid of. 🙂

Sample Request

I’m using Midjourney version 4 for this. This is a command line interface via Discord to communicate with AI:

“1880s street photography in London, 40mm, Highly Detailed Professional Photography –v 4 –ar 3:2”

Here are 40 “Street Photos” below – I’ve added text to each one so you can see the time period and location. I usually don’t add text because I’m a bit lazy, so enjoy! 🙂

There are also lots of little things to notice if you pay close attention. I was really impressed with the way the clothes fell and “wrinkled” around the body…among countless other details.
