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!

What a fascinating concept of something we take for granted...only you could put it in front of our faces like this, my friend. Perfect for this milestone, which I hope is only an early one of what your career will hold for us all. We're all richer for sharing your worlds!

Your stories and images have left a larger impact on me than the number "900" would indicate. Thank you for sharing your vision with us, dear one. It's truly a pleasure. I'm looking forward to hundreds more!

WONDERFUL WORK FOR YOUR 900TH CONGRATULATIONS

Firstly, congratulations on reaching this milestone. I must say, I always look forward to your postings, stories and musings. Opening up rarely considered ideas or concepts and making them a personal experience. And this one is no different. How daylight is part of half our lives we don't stop to think that it may be regarded as a threat on other worlds. Common place concepts will no doubt mean very different things elsewhere and with other beings who will likely perceive the universe differently from ourselves. And you make it so personal with this journal entry. A small piece of some individual's life that might well have been lost to time like the rest of his thoughts. How many of us hope that our words will be read a thousand years from now? Very compelling. Excellent art work too. This world does look as though it has been mercilessly scorched for eons. Perhaps an over abundance of gamma photons has bled the atmosphere of much of its water and nitrogen. Life would have to be very tough to endure there.

Congratulations on the big 900! Pretty swanky! I never know what to say about things like this, but 900 of anything is impressive. And to keep up the quality level through nearly one thousand posts is even more impressive. You have a wonderful gallery. Congratulations again!

That's a good one! Love the narrative and the ship

Dear Anonymous, You've had many great adventures here. Thanks for taking all of us along with you. Different daylights...what a concept. I've experienced daylight in Alaska at 3am but that's hardly another world...although some might not agree:) Talking about Russia,...yes, I could almost see it from there! Outstanding artwork to illustrate your short story.
