No Theme Thursday: 01.16.25 (First Anniversary Edition)

Greetings all, and welcome. Almost one year ago this week, I published my very first No Theme Thursday post.

This was never meant to be a challenge, really. It was just an excuse for me to post images I had generated.

Most other days of the week had a theme at the time, but I didn’t have one for Thursday, so I decided there wouldn’t be one. I’d just post whatever images I had and not concern myself with fitting them into any specific category.

A week or two into it, one of my readers suggested making it into a challenge, and slowly, week by week, it caught on.

And now, here we are. One year in and it’s still going.

My sincerest thanks to the WP community, as it is all because of you that it’s still going. If not for all of you, I’d likely have stopped doing this long ago.

It’s been a freaking year already?

In celebration, I am going to put up some of my favorite pics from the past year. Think of it as a poor man’s greatest hits album. 😄

Thanks for an incredible year, and here’s to more down the road. 💪😎

Showcase Update: I know I am late with the Showcase post for last week’s entries, but it will be up this week!

Please have your entries up by Thursday, 01/23/25 for round up. Thanks!

Cheers, y’all!

  1. Congratulations on one year of NTT, and here’s to many more, my friend.
    Your pictures have been great and have also inspired many people to start writing here.

    The 23rd picture is fantastic and reminds me of the Constantinople.

  8. I love all the images you create! I’m an artist and seem to shock so many when I say that I love creating imagery with AI. What many don’t realize, is that it’s really an art form of its own …that good prompt engineering is an art. 🙂

    Happy Anniversary!

    1. I have the utmost respect for people who have artistic talent. I, unfortunately, do not have any 😄
      I am actually grateful for the AI imaging because it allows me to indulge something I have always wanted to do. And yes, I think it is a bit of an art in itself. The prompts don’t write themselves LOL it still takes some work
      Thank you so much! 🙏
