In 2016 I decided YouTube needed my portfolio slideshows. Sand dunes, portraits, one of them literally titled Wrong Way to Hollywood. Slow zooms, background music, the full 2016 experience. They collected somewhere between 13 and 187 views each. Hollywood never called. The title saw it coming.

Then I did what every YouTube guru recommends: I uploaded nothing for ten years. Now the channel is awake again. The first new uploads are my Stills Alive experiments, single photos from my archive turned into short AI camera flights. What comes after that, I honestly don't know yet. More AI toys, probably. Talking about photography, maybe. Whatever eats my next weekend, definitely.

I started a photo quiz on WhatsApp.

https://mlenny.com/quiz

Every day at 17:03 I post one of my photos and four options. One is right. You tap, and the answer drops the next day. At 17:03, obviously.

Why 17:03? Because 17:00 felt too eager.

There is nothing to win. Yet. Just glory, bragging rights, and the slow realisation that you don't know where Vanuatu is.

Many years on the road, more airports than I care to admit, and a ton of different cameras that have seen things. Someone now has to guess where all of that was. That someone is you!

Follow The 17.03 Quiz by Mlenny's WhatsApp Channel. Welcome to The 17:03.

Every day at 17:03: one of my photos, four options, one right answer. The other three are carefully chosen lies.

Tap your guess. Next day I post the answer, the vote split, and maybe a quiet word for everyone who was loudly, confidently wrong :-D

No prizes yet. Just bragging rights and the slow realisation that you don't know where Tanna Island is.

The photos are all mine, taken the hard way. If you prefer them without a pop quiz, they all live on mlenny.com.. Join 13 followers for the latest updates.

This flight is illegal.
Good thing it never happened.

One real photo I took of Lower Manhattan, one AI, twenty invented seconds over One World Trade Center.
Watch to the end to see the photo it all came from.
Episode New York City II of Stills Alive.

Which city next? 🤔

No drone, no permit, no wind.

Just one still from New York City and my AI ignoring gravity.

The photo it took is as always real. The flight is pure invention.

Episode NYC of Stills Alive. Beauty of our Small World.
Batteries still sold separately.
