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!

Cute little bugger.... I've got a couple of these living in my backyard. I think they've burrowed under my storage patio out back - which is ok for now, but I'll be a tad annoyed at the crtitters if a tree starts growing up through the floor! :-D My wife thinks they're cute - they're like her little pets LOL! Great shot, of this 'munk' Chip... ;-P

I, for one, will be interested in any such story you might come up with. Fascinating!
Feliciti

What can I say other then he's so d*#% cute. That's why these little guys can go where they want unmolested by humankind...however, terriers don't hold that view. Bottom line, I won't be introducing Mandy to him/her anytime soon:)
auntietk
What a cutie! He looks like he's dressed for a night on the town. VERY snappy! He stands out nicely from his surroundings, which helps make this an excellent image. Nicely done! (Of course he could be a she just as easily ... I have no idea!)

Superb capture my friend. God Bless.
durleybeachbum
What a delight! And I never knew that about truffles!
RAGraphicDesign
Beautiful shot! The environment around - mosses, lichens, grass, etc..- is a very nice emerald. My dream: being able to do something like this in Vue (including the small animal:)

I don't care where you travel in the US, you will find these guys in someone yard. Great shot and a remarkable story. Thanks

A friend of mine says that cuteness is their primary defense mechanism, and I have to admit the idea works for me pretty well. This is an amazing shot, you must have been able to get pretty close. The lush green plant life around gives this scene a very warm cheerful mood that goes very well with the cute little bugger.

Don't remember this critter. I must have been off making pictures of cars in the parking lot or something... Anyway, this is one cute critter. Kind of makes me want to take him home and feed him truffles.

OHHH WOW!!! What a cute little fellow. You really captured it beautiully. Wonderful capture :-)

Very cute critter. I love their white markings and bright eyes. You captured him in a perfect location, secluded with wonderful colors, textures, and lines. This would be an wonderful illustration for a children's book. Excellent capture!

A secretive, sub-terranean technological society evolved from chipmunks. That's a cool idea. Indeed, there is a great potential for some clever social satire there. I didn't know that chipmunks were omnivores but I suppose that makes sense. Especially with respect to insects and worms. It surprises me that they would go after birds eggs. Risking the wrath of a full sized adult bird is not something I would have expected even the most ambitious of chipmunks to try. I love the colours in this shot with the earthy shades and your model untroubled by the presence of the big but silly creature that seems to be too curious for its own good. What is the silver ting its holding? It doesn't look eatable.

He's picture-perfect here, and they are feisty, curious little rodents--too curious for their own good, my cat often catches them when they venture too far from their safe holes. I had no idea they ate fungi, but it makes sense!

S/he is a cute little Chipmunk and I like the green surroundings. Did not know that they were omnivores and very interesting narrative from the early naming to their sleep habits.
