Description
On that famous sunny Saturday in Chicago when the ninja photographers got together and had such a fun time, I took a LOT of pictures of Chip! It seemed like he was always in motion, always doing something, always engaged. Besides that, he's one of my favorite people on THIS planet (and absolutely my number one favorite on three others) and it's hard to NOT take pictures of him!
You know him as author and artist, as the creator of worlds and characters and moods, as a lover of woodlice and a certain handsome Russian, as a chronicler of Chicago's quirks and charms.
I hope you'll enjoy seeing him through these snapshots as friend and companion, as well. Chip is funny, thoughtful, silly, spontaneous, brilliant, charming, and cute as all get-out. His mind really is as encyclopedic as you might imagine, and he's a total hoot to hang out with.
If the title of this post doesn't make sense to you, go check out Chip's gallery. It will all become clear in due time ...
... I just hope he doesn't kill me for this! LOL!

I actually started a folder, of photos, of the RR artists who's work I enjoy. This collage is a great addition to the collection. These shots are fantastic. Love his photos and narratives. Seems like a great guy. And yes, you are in there. Not a creepy thing - when I show my wife a posting that is extra special - she asks if I know what she or he looks like. A hall of fame sort of thing. Dana

Oh WOW! I love this collage! Kafka is in there too! WOW! I remember that day perfectly, but I had no idea you got the picture of me lighting a cigarette while holding my half-finished Pepsi on my head...everybody else had their hands full with stuff, so I just put it where it was most convenient. These are great and I love the way Fantisek is squeezed in there. He had fun that day too! I love all of these and I have to wonder where the smaller pic of me was taken, the slightly yellowish one...was I indoors or behind something? Funny how my mind latches on to that. All of these work so well together. As for that low to the ground shot, that was the day I was learning just how uncooperative very small ants can be! I look so intensely focused! I love these! They bring back that day and I'd gladly relive it over and over and over again, then go off and enjoy new ones with the same crowd plus a few more people.

WOW, Tara, I like this a lot! That guy looks vaguely familiar, I think I might have met him at the Feinman Bar Mitzva back in 1964, or was that the cinematographer's party? Oh wait, he's that Ninja photographer guy that I used to live with! I didn't recognize him without that terrarium full of woodlice hanging around his neck. No, but seriously, this rocks. I really like the way you caught him in all his glory, and complexity. You even got him in "combat stance." I particularly like the "I Dream of Kafka" bit, and lets not forget the soda cup on the head. Just how straight is his spine!? Great collage and every time I look at one image and think I like it the most, another one grabs my attention in just the same way. Very nice!
