Description
For those who know of recent events, I’m happy to say that Corey (CoreyBlack) has returned home and is inordinately busy watching episodes of the Rockford Files, Alfred Hitchcock movies, and countless episodes of The X-Files while doing daily muscular and respiratory exercises. This is normal and his recovery is going quite well; he’s a bit bored, but that’s quite good. His energy levels aren’t up yet, but he’s improving on a daily basis. I’m quite happy with that. I’m also happy to say that I’ve bonded with Corey’s father quite a bit as well, and if all goes right, maybe he will be posting on Renderosity in the future as well. He’s a great photographer, he has an artist’s thing for macros and abstracts, and has a swanky, new camera. That’s never a bad thing.
I took this picture on the way to Corey’s apartment from work; it was an exhausting day—filled with heavy dental equipment in need of transport. The day began as it always does—with me complaining about getting up so early. The day ended with Corey and me, watching vintage television on DVD. There’s something to be said of television shows one remembers from childhood. As I’ll be spending a large chunk of Corey’s recovery time in the apartment with him, I’m going to become quite familiar with a television show that was always on in the background of my childhood—even now, as I post this image, Rockford is on the screen behind me and so in a strange way, it feels as if I’m a child on a Friday night, entertaining myself, while the grown-up people watch a private investigator played by James Garner.
I’m off, now, to see the exciting end of an episode: and then I’m off to do some cooking. Corey’s appetite is returning to normal, and so there’s pasta in the works for tonight.
As always, thank you for viewing, reading, and commenting, and thank you—especially—for the well wishes you’ve been sending to Corey and to myself.

Old, favorite shows from childhood (or even just when you were younger), are like comfort food. They always bring back pleasant memories and leave you satisfied. Best wishes to Corey.

Pasta, sounds good, I think I'll make some up myself tonight. With meatballs, all pasta needs meatballs. I'm really glad to hear Corey is doing better, reading some of your postings you seemed uneasy of his status at times. This is a beautiful shot, clear crisp and I certainly love the colour. Jewel tones make for classy structures. That's why I always wanted to live in the emerald city - just kidding. An excellent example of what modern architecture (50's-60's vintage anyways though this building could have risen more recently as well) promised to give to the urban landscape as it sacrificed the elegant curves and ornateness of previous eras. Alas, the last half century is marked more by the need to save money that the need to create a beautiful city. Don't get me started on the demise of streetcars.

First of all, FAB image!! I love the color, and those pillars are too cool. I love the way they're inside then outside then inside, like they have a story and a life of their own. The reflections are amazing! Excellent capture. I'm so glad to hear Corey is home and bored! Of course I don't wish boredom on him, but that's a very good sign. It means he's feeling better and WANTS to do more! Excellent news. Congrats on the bonding thing! Always good news. Let me know if Corey's dad opens a gallery here. I'll go check it out!

Great shot :) Glad to hear Corey is home and still on the road to recovery~ Home is so much better than the hospital... they are mean there... lol. You know, my husband and I just had a conversation tonight about TV shows and Rockford was one mentioned. They just don't make them like they used to.

I am glad to hear Corey is doing so well. I will be glad if Corey's father would join Renderosity to upload macro captures. When he joins Renderosity could you please lead us to his homepage so that we could enjoy his portfolio of pictures. Stunning capture my friend. Regards to Corey and his father. Is the pasta ready? I can smell it.

THat is a strange build but beautifully captured. Reading Corey is back home and recovering, getting his appetite back and boring and you cooking for him all sounds so great and makes me glad. Wonderful news. :-)

Oh wow Chip - what a glorious image! Well seen! I love the continuation of the pillars inside the building - quite neat! Welcome home to Corey!!! I'm so glad the recovery is going to plan! Corey - hopefully you will be up and "running" in no time! Look after yourself! Hugs to you both! xx

Fantastic POV and detail on this shot, Chip! I hate living in things like this, but as photographic subjects there's nothing like a big glassy block. Give Corey my best, I'm glad he's home where you can nurse him back to health!

Excellent POV and image. Sorry to hear Corey has been ill, and it seems he is on the road to recovery. Care-giving is a spiritual life changer, I believe. We are doing that now for my father-in-law, who is doing fine, but that is about all for now. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too.

Fantastic photo and great news about Corey. Hope he recovers quickly, and hope his dad can join us here on Rendo!

OUTSTANDING IMAGE! PERFECT SHOT!

Great capture, Chip. I really like the colours, and the way the architecture is framed. I too am revisiting childhood TV shows at the moment - "Sapphire & Steel" is my current addiction, a British low budget sci-fi outing from 1979, when story still had preference over special effects.... Good to hear that corey is still on the mend, please pass on my best wishes. Dzanetos

This just rocks--so much repetition and then those pillars walk in and get everyone's attention!! I remember James Garner from Maverick (omg, does ANYONE besides me remember Maverick??)--I'd watch it again if I could. Hi to Corey----- SO glad he's home and doing well!!

And the pillars go all the way up. Super shot. Dana
