Change Log
The past week has been dedicated to acknowledge the previous 25 years worth of writing here and then quickly archiving it. The slate has been cleaned and the website underwent a massive transformation as a result. New database, new HTML…
THE WRITTEN RECORD
Author: Chris
Multicursal
Previously I wrote about uncertain paths but felt compelled to explore it again. There are some paths we can decide to walk on, and there are some that show up along the way we weren’t expecting. Understanding which paths to…
The Path Less Understood
There are some paths we can decide to walk on, and there are some that show up along the way we weren't expecting. Understanding which paths to take and seeing where they could go is what keeps me going forward.
The Next Twenty-Five
Twenty-six years online. Everything before today has been archived where it belongs. This is a new page and a new era. The past is preserved. The future starts here. I’m rebuilding with intent and curiosity.
The Future
I’ve mentioned previously that something about writing online has to change soon. I’ve looked into the options to host my decades of digital journals with various low/no cost alternatives and they suck. Speaking of The Future, I just finished this…
Ukulele For Dummies
Way back in 2007, I was invited to photograph the Birmingham Jazz Festival weekend and even attended a few workshops. One workshop was hosted by a group of brilliant high school jazz students from the jazz school. The special guest…
Starship 4.0
This morning I stood on the Cape Coral beach looking southwest waiting to see a rocket ship fly over us. I was there at Starbase observing the tallest, most powerful rocket ever to be launched up close. 100 yards away…
The Old Man Was Right
Huh. Way back in the early to mid 1980’s, I had purchased a generic, portable cassette player that I thought was the cat’s ass. I had control over what I listened to and could take it everywhere. I could copy…
Why
Why write publicly? I’ve asked myself this question at least once a year, and my answer gets easier every year—no one cares. Writing, for me, is a tool to organize my thoughts and process them. It’s also a log for…
Rock & Roll
As a follow-up to the previous post, I am looking for good cardio activities with low impact on my knees, so next up is cycling. I recently acquired a road cycle and am slowly getting myself up to speed so…
Play More
Time to pluck the strings and finally learn how to play this ukulele. Pretty soon it’ll be music to my ears. Not anyone else’s, mind you.
Just Add Water
For the past ten years, I’ve been limited on active cardio activities for various reasons. I used to enjoy trail and/or bayou running but, because I run like the wind(ed,) nowadays, it isn’t an option. Not to mention the high-impact…
Why Photography?
I love looking through the photo archives. Photographs, to me, are a record. They show me how things were “way back then”. Lately I have been wondering what are the new photographs I have, as well as future images for?…
Interesting
With all of the recent life changes and the move to Florida, there are lost friends and now- found friends. Sure, I’ll miss those guys and girls in Tulsa, Houston, Birmingham, and Joplin, but for the past few weeks here…
Palm Sunday Project
Welcome to the first newsletter sent from Cape Coral, Florida where a new latitude calls for a new and different photo project. In the past I would capture unique faces, diverse neon signs, wall art, etc. Anything that is in…
