kjer stands for "Kansas Jeremy." Yahoo screwed up things and added the rest. My good grrrl's name is "Julie Jane Russell Because She Ain't No Jack" but we just call her Julie and a host of nicknames (Mz. Demeanor, Land Shark, God Damn it!, etc.) BIO Born in North Dakota, learned to talk in Texas, early elementary years in southern Michigan near Lake Huron, brief time in Miami Beach (during WWII), back to Michigan. Parents divorced and we moved back to northcentral Kansas, which became my adopted home (although folks were 4th or 5th generation Kansans). At 18, joined USAF and served a year in Korea (after the cease-fire) and two in southern Japan; however, the only foreign country I served in was pre-Civil Rights movement Gulf Coast Mississippi! :) My Air Force job was control tower operator, then later worked in headquarters administration. Returned to Kansas, got married to wife number 1 and got a college degree (or two plus) and taught public school (8th Grade English) for 4 years. Adopted two mixed-race children (girl and boy). Spent a year ill and unemployed then began working for 25 years with mentally and multiply challenged folks in State institutions. Divorced after 25 years (amicably), endured 4 years of bachelorhood, then married wife Number 2. (Both fine women, by the way.) Retired for five years then got a part-time college instructor position, teaching Freshmen how to write at the college level for another five years, then retired a second time. Still with wife No. 2.
My first identity was as an artist. Later, also became a writer. Wrote about about nine multi-volumed science-fantasy novel manuscripts. Was given very encouraging rejections by editiors, but just never seemed to be what met their publishing needs. Gave up art (pastel pencils and fine-line ink drawings, mostly) for about 10 years due to operations on wrists that messed up coordination in fingers and created involuntary releases of my grasp. (It's very discouraging to spent 40 hours on a fine-line ink drawing only to drop the pen on it in the last hour or two.) Finally decided that avenue of expression was no longer viable for me and concentrated by creative efforts into writing. Then, about four years ago, I discovered the worlds of Bryce, Poser, and Vue and have been able to go back to my first love; art.
My association with Renderosity has been wonderful. In my gallery I get to combine both my creative loves: writing and art. I appreciate very much the responses and comments of viewers and thank those special few who keep comming back to my gallery. Interests in no particular order: 3D Graphic arts, writing (poetry and novels), photography, science-fiction and fantasy, science in general, astronomy (especially Mars and extra solar planets), ecology.

Jeremy this does look really fine especially the water and being out in nasty and cold weather on a boat definitly wouldn't be my way of life, so cudos to those who take it on no matter how :)

Nicely done...great lighting and depth to this render.

Nice work on the image. As for "The Most Dangerous" status, it's because of the number of people killed each year in that profession. My brother worked on one of those boats in the Bering Straights, and it truly is more dangerous than anything in North America (Note: North America, that doesn't include combat jobs abroad) and entire boats with upwards of half a dozen are lost every year. One storm alone when my brother was there caused the loss (nothing was ever found at all) of 2 boats in one day! He has truly scary stories of the life, water that can kill you after only 3 minutes exposure, using a gaff to save a fellow crewman who was almost washed overboard, ship dumping their fresh water storage to make it lighter in a desperate effort to avoid foundering in a storm... It's definitely NOT the life for me!

I think you depicted the situation incredibly well. If those are whitecaps on the water, then the water's definitely choppy. This render reminds me alot of the movie "The Perfect Storm" . Well done.!

Super atmosphere and details!!! And we should also consider missionaries who risk their lives to share the Gospel around the world! Grace and Peace!

Beautiful scene.

Wonderful work! Excellent spray effect along with a nicely balanced composition. "Deadliest Catch" was always one of my favorites. Heck, anything on the storm-tossed Bering Sea is an attention-getter in my book!

magnifique! the atmo and water is superb.

Yes, they say it is! Having seen the series (well one or two of the programmes) I'm not going to disagree.. Super work.. Rob

We get that series over here too....oh Robs already mentioned that...This is a great image, we get rough seas round here but nothing like what those guys go through.I'd be permanently over the side calling Poseidon, did you know his first name is 'Hughie!!' Great render, excellent seascape and a fine tribute....

Excellent work, Jeremy!

Great rendition Jeremy! I don't know what profession is statically the most risky, but I'll stick with my cubicle for now...
