Artificial Intelligence can be useful as an aid to marketing photographs in a gallery.
I have appreciated the AI generated keywords and descriptions that have been added to FineArtAmerica.com‘s upload process. It does a, surprisingly, decent job of identifying what is in the image. I use that AI-generated content as a starting place, but I almost always add a location (which the AI cannot determine) and a couple of other details, I do that because it is the description (content) that is indexed by the largest search engines, Google and Bing.
An example… I recently uploaded an image of a Margarita that I had ordered at a restaurant. It was one of my “52 Week Challenge” (indoor) images. Here is the way I expanded the auto-generated content.
FAA’s AI content: A refreshing cocktail is elegantly presented in a curvy glass, garnished with a lime wedge and a black straw. Soft, warm lighting highlights the drink’s vibrant yellow hue, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
With my basic addition: A refreshing Margarita cocktail at the Sea Captain’s House in Myrtle Beach, SC is elegantly presented in a curvy glass, garnished with a lime wedge and a black straw. Soft, warm lighting highlights the drink’s vibrant yellow hue, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
The Margarita at Sea Captain’s House was pretty good.
Then I used the “Content Expander” at WordHero.co, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) service to which I subscribe. I fed in the description with my addition, and this is resulting description that I used with the photograph in my gallery:
“At the Sea Captain’s House in Myrtle Beach, SC, the Margarita cocktail is a delightful treat that promises to refresh your senses. This classic drink is served in an elegantly curvy glass, perfectly designed to enhance the enjoyment of every sip.
A fresh lime wedge perches on the rim, ready to add an extra zing to your cocktail experience. A sleek black straw completes the presentation, inviting you to dive into the vibrant flavors that await.
The drink’s brilliant yellow hue glows warmly under the restaurant’s soft lighting, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. The atmosphere is perfect for unwinding and enjoying the moment.
Every detail of this Margarita is crafted to bring joy, from its presentation to its refreshing taste. It’s not just a drink; it’s a little piece of happiness in a glass.”

We finally found a great place to dine while we are on winter hiatus (being snowbirds) here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Sea Captain’s House Restaurant at 3002 N Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC. Nestled along the shimmering coastline, the Sea Captain’s House offers more than just a meal, it’s a delightful voyage into a world of culinary wonders and maritime charm. Picture yourself savoring fresh, succulent seafood while the Atlantic waves provide a soothing seascape view. The restaurant’s rich history, once a beloved oceanfront cottage, adds a layer of nostalgia, making every visit feel like stepping into a cherished family tradition.

SEA CAPTAIN’S HOUSE LEGACY …as printed inside their menu…
The Legacy of the Sea Captain’s House from inside the main menu
Sea Captain’s House, a Myrtle Beach restaurant, was originally built as a vacation home in 1930 by Henry Taylor of High Point, NC. For more than 10 years, the Taylor family vacationed at their oceanfront beach cottage. During the 1940s, Charles W. Angle purchased the cottage, enjoying the sound of the ocean’s tide until 1954, when Mrs. Nellie G. Howard purchased the cottage and began operating Howard’s Manor. With nine guestrooms and three home-cooked meals daily, the guesthouse was a forerunner in providing the warm southern hospitality Myrtle Beach is known for today. Howard’s Manor was advertised as a place where friends meet each year with the beach at their front door.
In 1954, Hurricane Hazel came to visit. When she left, she took the supports from under the screened front porch. Knowing the tranquility the ocean brings to the soul, Mrs. Howard replaced the porch with a “Florida Room” to give her guests a more comfortable place to sit, look and listen to the beautiful Atlantic.
By the early 1960’s the likes of the traveling public were beginning to change. Rather than the traditional guest house atmosphere, vacationers preferred a more modern type of accommodation. In 1962 the property was sold and was to be torn down and replaced with a high-rise motel. At the time, however, financing was in short supply forcing a postponement of these plans. While waiting for the financial picture to brighten, the owners decided to operate the building as a restaurant. This planned year or two of waiting has turned into over 50 years.
Over the years, many have crossed the portals of the Sea Captain’s House, and enjoyed the superb dining, ocean view, and warm southern hospitality that the Sea Captain’s House offers. To this day, it is still known as the place where friends meet year after year.
(The above is the story as printed inside their menu.)
Sea Captain’s House is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner – with hours from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day. We have been there several times for lunch and dinner but have not yet tried breakfast. (For Breakfast, we opt for Harry’s Breakfast Pancakes – which will soon be the topic of another article.)
The menu is not huge but has a wonderful assortment of items and they have an adequate bar. We usually choose something dealing with seafood. Heh, we are at the ocean, right? So far, we have not had anything we didn’t like. Our most recent foray for lunch had us try the fried shrimp, which was truly excellent. I had my “usual” lunch of the Wedge Salad and Baked Potato. I love a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and sweet iceberg lettuce. The one at SCH is unique in that it comes in parts. There is a naked chunk of chilled iceberg that is surrounded by piles of each of the usual toppings and a container of blue cheese dressing. If I am not hungry for a full meal, this is my go-to choice. Delicious because I can custom tailor each fork full to whatever I taste sensation I desire. Oh, I also get the baked potato rather than the (other) choice of soup. The baked potato is consistently excellent. I don’t know how they do it – but they do. It is the “perfect” baked spud.
Even on a cloudy day the view is spectacular at the Sea Captain’s House. CLICK the picture for a better view.
The wedge salad & baked potato is my favorite.
