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!

Most enjoyable! the story and this image fit exactly. *** I am reminded of something overheard on the tannoy in my local supermarket, where all the workers are shareholders in the company. I stored it in a braincell to pass on to you: it made me laugh, but for you it could be a seed of something quite 'other'. " Will an Ambient Partner please come to the loading bay."

It's a really intriguing storylet...the beginning of a longer one, I think. I hope. Anyway, once again your wonderfully fertile mind has taken me somewhere "else" for a bit, and that's always a good thing!

I love the image! I didn't go anywhere near where you went, but nonetheless, my musings were entertaining ... to me, at least! LOL! The man is ignoring the trash can. Is the trash can ignoring the man as well, or is it trying to get his attention? Is it, perhaps, ready to pounce? I remember a bit from the original Electric Company show called Love of Chair. It was a soap opera about a boy in a room with a chair. The voiceover invariably went something like this: "The boy is standing. The chair is standing. The wall is standing. (pregnant pause with dramatic music) Tune in next week. Will the boy sit down? Will the chair sit down? Will the WALL sit down? (ultra-dramatic chords) And ... What about ... Naomi???" I liked your story a lot, but my own brain entertainment cracked me up. Wow. Are you sure you want to be friends with me??? LOl!

For a brief moment, I was there in whitewashed wonder.

Realising (UK spelling) I was overdue for a look at your gallery I fired up my browser, and this image just grabbed me immediately. I think I've always been most impressed with your urban series of Chicago. You always manage to capture something beyond definition. This image is gritty and realistic, and so much more than the sum of its parts. Perhaps it's because your subject appears unaware of your attention. I'm reminded of exhibitions I've seen of vintage photography, not just because of the sepia - it's the mood you create. You really should exhibit stuff like this - this is master photography! Now I've re-read what I've typed it doesn't seem to make much sense, but I know what I mean, and hope you do too.

I liked the starkness of both and the effects of the Sepia look. Dana
