DUI ?Part of Caught on Camera Series?

 Bit embarrassed to find I haven't written about this pic at all, which is weird because I've been working on it on-and-off since before my last pic... I think it was in very early stages then, and then finished in very little time... It seems a bit unsatisfying, but I think that's ok because it's part of a series (if I make the rest of the series!).

The inception for this picture was a real trip to help someone close to me who was having a mental health crisis. The situation was related to my wife's death, so I was quite distressed myself. As I was driving a little (like a tiny bit) too fast, with tears streaming down my face, it struck me that it would be funny/weird/sad if I were going a bit faster and got caught on a speed camera, what would they make of the image! It set me thinking about how grief is hidden, and only caught on camera by accident. So I decided to make an image of me on a speed camera.

I started by taking a picture of myself the next time I was crying - I was starting to recover so I had the presence of mind to snap a pic - being an artist is WEIRD!

I then cut it out and wanted to put it into a car, but there's not many good images looking into a car from the front from a speed-camera-ish angle... So I turned to AI, but that just gave me similar car magazine type shots... So I bit the bullet and did a very simple rig in Blender - just to give the impression of being a car:

Which I fed through Stable Diffusion:

I then composited myself back in, desaturated the image, monkeyed with the contrast, added some noise, a bit of vignette, and added some fake data, to give the final image:

Which is cute, but really needs more pics to make it make sense... Which gives me the slight logistical problem of getting some more pics of me to use...
