My latest video, "desiderium"

So just thought I’d share my newest video.


The title is “desiderium,” and it is a meditation on, well, the positive aspects of remembering your loved ones, even when they are no longer among us. It deals particularly with my late mom and dad.


The other interesting thing about it is that I used a lot of AI technology in the piece. For instance, you’ll see that in a couple of places my parents seem to move. That’s all AI.


What was most difficult for me, oddly, was actually the credits at the very end. I used an old picture of my mother as a very young person (this would have been late 1940s, maybe), colorized and cleaned it up with Photoshop (not easy), and then animated it with AI.


Anyway, give it a glance if you’ve got a moment.


Oh, and btw, somehow along the way I also got the late great Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora in for a cameo.


Cheers

Walking To Wimberley

Welcome to Wimberley, Texas—where the cypress trees lean over lazy rivers, the cowboy boots are ten feet tall (and painted like rainbows), and the coffee shops echo with guitars and gossip.

In Walking to Wimberley, Michael Jay Tucker invites you to join him on a meandering, thoughtful, and often hilarious journey through one of Texas’s most charming Hill Country towns. Based on his popular blog entries, this collection of travel essays explores Wimberley’s art, history, music, and mystery—with the dry wit of a seasoned traveler and the wide-eyed wonder of a first-time visitor.

 

Whether he’s hunting for the perfect taco, pondering the existential meaning of oversized footwear, or just trying to find parking on market day, Tucker brings Wimberley to life with style, warmth, and just a hint of mischief.

Come for the scenery. Stay for the stories. Bring your boots.
