The Daddies of the Golden City are the grown-up half of this collection. A bearded man in his late thirties leans on a carved stone balustrade in jeans and an unbuttoned silk shirt, sleeves pushed back, chest showing, the sun coming through the gothic spires behind him and catching the edge of his jaw. Some are lean and hairy, some are broad; all of them are relaxed rather than posed, usually mid-laugh or looking off at something out of frame. Big towering clouds, the first stars already out above them, and the whole gallery sitting in that last warm hour before the light goes. The ease in it is the point. Created by Jeff Dupler, AI assisted with Flux Pro or MidJourney, and Photoshop if needed.
Bearded, confident men in their late thirties and forties, shirts open on a stone balcony while the sun drops behind the spires of a golden city.
