Wufeng Summers, Then & Now

#2026-0826B

Looking through photos from a few summers ago, I can’t help but smile at how much—and how little—has changed.

Back then, the two brothers were noticeably smaller, and their games on the Wufeng court were filled with boundless, childlike enthusiasm. Today, both have grown taller, stronger, and more confident in their movements. Those casual backyard shootarounds have naturally evolved into faster, more competitive games.

Yet, despite the extra inches and the passing years, the heart of these summer days remains exactly the same. The pure joy of playing together under the open sky hasn't faded. The younger brother still brings an electric excitement to every drive and shot, while the older one continues to play with a familiar mix of quiet focus and steady determination—just a bit more mature now.

Whether they are starting the afternoon with a sprawling game of Rummikub indoors or shooting hoops until twilight settles over the neighborhood, Wufeng remains their summer sanctuary. Time keeps moving forward, but the bond these brothers share on the court is truly timeless.

Gemini 合成圖 (另一項實驗)

#2026-0825

昨天針對 Gemini 繪製 "合成圖" 的能力，做了三次 (即三組) 操作 / 實驗；詳情可參見 #2026-0824。

Yesterday, I conducted three experiments (or three rounds of testing) to explore Gemini’s ability to create “composite images.” For details, please see #2026-0824.

Today, I selected another eight photos taken at different times and in different places and asked Gemini to combine them into more than ten “composite images” (合成圖). These images were not generated all at once. Gemini first created one image; after I gave it feedback and made some requests, it generated a second one. I then gave it new instructions or suggestions, and it created a third. The process continued in this way: whenever I made a request, Gemini responded by creating another image—the fourth, fifth, sixth, and so on—until all the composite images had been completed.

Yesterday, each experiment involved providing Gemini with eight photos and asking it to create one "composite image." Since I provided photos three times, I effectively conducted three separate experiments. Today was different. I provided only eight photos, but asked Gemini to combine them in a variety of ways, eventually producing more than ten composite images that differed greatly from one another in both form and content.

昨天，我每次提供八張照片，要求產出一張 "合成圖"；前後提供了三次照片，等於做了三回的實驗。今天有所不同，我僅僅提供八張照片，卻要求 Gemini 做不同的組合，總計產出十多張「形式」與「內容」都大異其趣的合成圖。

本實驗包括三組，每組由我提供 8 張照片，請 Google Gemini 選擇其中部分（或採用全部）加以組合，創作出一幅（或更多）新穎有趣的圖片。

~ ~ This experiment consisted of three groups. For each group, I provided Google Gemini with eight photos and asked it to select some or all of them to create one or more new and interesting images.
