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!

My father used to walk with pipes. And then he gave up smoking (rim shot). {;-D Brilliant writing and very poetic. Your collages are so often surreal. Like an hallucination, the mind struggles to identify what is real. Then you realize it doesn't really matter and you sit back and enjoy the view.

Even though I know what you did, it still looks seamless and totally real ... in a sort of odd way. Excellent work! You make me think I should get busy. (Like I'm not spending my days doing anything time consuming! LOL!) :)

I looked...I marveled. I read...I imagined. A thought provoking piece Chip. But then that's what I always get when I visit your gallery:) Well done!

Brilliant! I agree entirely with Mark. Inspiring.

I like collages too & this is a creative & skillfully assembled one. I like the way you've blended the images together in a very organic way - in particular the way the curve of the pipes blend perfectly with the curve of the arch...

You take collage to a new level--WAY beyond putting a few fotos together and calling it good. I see parts of pieces of other fotos of yours here and yet it all seems like one. This rocks and yeah, it's awesome!! ps, I WAS wearing flip flops when I took that foto and you should see my new ones!!!

The pipes seem to be the runes of this visual story, Chip; you'd go mad at Gasworks Park, and have to be pulled away screaming to be left alone there! When you come to Seattle I want to be with you when you visit there. Wonderful work!

What a perfect collage this is. You made the pipes fit totally in this image, like they have been there all the time. You are really good at creating collages.
