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!

I think I see Kirk and old Spock trying to reach the Starfleet outpost with Scotty and Keenser.

your photography and your writing always blow me away .. i wish i had the time to comment on everything, but i do stop and read .. and look .. and this time had to comment on how perfect the music is for this image .. they are like a hand in a glove .. i can't believe i've never heard this music before .. gotta love youtube .. am clicking and listening (to Tabula Rasa right now) .. sigh .. all these years and i've never heard of Arvo Pärt?? that has to be a crime.

The music does capture the imagination. Nhahatl's solitude seems to be reflected in the emotion of it. Alien and apart, not our way but not tragic either. Just like your landscape, monochrome, quiet and cold, not our place but not barren either. Strange yet alive. Blossoms? Perhaps Nhahatl fancied that such striking and fragile things only belonged in the sky where the aurora dwelt. The only place where colours of intensity were frequent. Perhaps in Nhahatl's mind colours are a rare currency.

Innovative and inspiring....these words describe you both.

Wonderful writing of the highest calibre. The photograph is one of those fractal images that could scale up to the size of mountains, and down to the size of grains of sand. Superb!
