Midjourney ODMP Commentary

-

I intend to make representational portraits of all fallen officers posted on the ODMP.ORG website each year, and I will place the prompt and their image here.  Although I will use the seed of their IRL portrait, the Midjourney representation is just that.  A picture and a memorial.    This means that the generative stable diffusion algorithms and data from Midjourney will not produce an exact replica.  I want to capture the person's spirit and the spirit of other fallen officers (e.g., K9).
