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."Â
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!

Breathtaking, Chip! Really, it stoned me there for a while! Wow! The pose is so dramatic! In case you haven't figured it out by now, I'm also an X-Files fan. :-D The picture on the wall and the door to the right (closet)? give a sense of familiarity while the color of the light enhances the spooky mood. One of the best shots I've seen here. Can I rate it 10? :-D

FABULOUS CAPTURE & COMPOSITION BRAVO !!!!!
tofi
Excellent capture. The hazy silhouette is wonderfully dramatic, perhaps welcoming the looker, perhaps waving a pleasant farewell, or perhaps suggesting the horror that lies behind the screen. There is so much to see in this capture. I admire your ability to ‘see’ these wonderful creations wherever you look.

This is a truley imaginative work, Chip! I agree with dear Tofi here :-) Hugs. Diane. xx

This is a COOL shot! I was actually a little bit spooked when I first saw it, but then I am a sissy, and alone here at home right now as well.. The simplicity of this shot adds to the effect. Perfect! And spooky..

NefariousDrO
That's too cool, chip! You can just hear that '50's spooky music (probably on a Theramin, no doubt) just before the damsel in distress starts screaming... Very well done!
kimariehere

Let the autopsy begin ;-D. Very cool image and totally remiscent of so many of the contactees' visions. It takes a special mind to put this together and end up grabbing this image (that's a compliment, Chip).

You do some cool work yourself. Love the glass texture in front of him.
