Greetings to the people of Earth.
I've always wanted to say that! Now that I did, I can now get on with other things.
I'm a science fiction writer (not famous yet) born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I've lived in the Czech Republic and Germany, and though I am currently back in Chicago, much of my heart remains in the Czech Republic. Maybe it's the beer. Or the bread. I hope to live in Moscow soon, as a big portion of my heart already resides there. I've had an interest in science fiction since an early age and will probably maintain that interest for the rest of my life. I love SF, and anything else that embraces the spirit of discovery...or anything that chafes against the arbitrary boundaries of "conformity."ÂÂ
I discovered Renderosity a couple of years back when I was browsing the internet, looking for cool images to spark my imagination during a period of writer's block. It wasn't a serious block, but I needed something to make me ask the sorts of questions that I always ask before settling down to craft a short story or novella. Since that time, I've written quite a lot and I've begun to post photographs and other visual works that I created here...partially because I love the Renderosity community in general, and partially because the images and text-snippets that I have contributed here are something of an ongoing journal. I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to journal keeping, and so posting picures of particular significance actually helps me to remember the things I want to remembe, without having to eat into my fiction writing time by writing non fiction. Well, at least that's my excuse and I am sticking with it.
I entered into the field of photography totally by accident; I'd always been interested in capturing small stories, but it wasn't until my journey to Europe that I began to consciously seek out tableaus that imply stories in progress. As a result of that, my writing is growing in unexpected directions, and I look forward to becoming more and more active here, and in other artistic/publishing fields.
For those looking at my gallery, enjoy it and feel free to leave comments and sitemail! Good day to all!

Very interesting photo. A bit disturbing. I mean it's not your typical "interesting photo". Something menacing there with all the purple reflections - at least that's how I feel it.

Very interesting work. Just enought light to show the essential and the path to the door.

Love this shot Chip- I can see it as a stand alone image, a background for some interesting Poser work (An element in The Room of Correction in the Castle maybe?) But the trouble you take to set up and capture an image is what marks you out as a good (no - excellent) photographer.

Ok Chip, now you have me wondering if I were to walk outside my apartment and see someone laying there playing with a cigarette lighter and a camera what I would do? I'd probably gasp and run back in my apartment...LOL....but what you did here paid off, I love the lighting and the colors...this is very unique and looks even better when zoomed in on...very beautiful capture Chip!

Heck, Chip, if I walked out and saw someone on the floor doing what you were doing, I'd just think "Oh yeah, there's another guy trying to get the perfect shot!!" and then I'd ask if I could hold the light for you!!! But, if I saw this hallway, I also think I'd ask you to shine that light so I could find my way in or out, kinda creepy there!! Beyond all that, this is a great foto!!!

This is outstanding. The affect you got was indeed stunning. Great stuff here. And don't worry about what the neighbors think... They are right on about us being a tad off and I'm rather proud of it because our oddities produce wonderful photos just like you did here.

I always prefer natural light, over artificial light, and the results are usually pleasing, and, as can be seen in your image, intriguing and interesting.

That's a fascinating shot, and the lighting is very ghostly and ethereal.

The effects of light and dark in this photograph are tremendous. You manage to establish a unique mood in a hallway that people overlook daily. Brilliantly, you seize the opportunity your clever eye detects. Excellent POV. Bravo.
