Things I do not want to forget #

I use too much punctuation, probably wrong — across a photo journal, collection of links, (& other random stuff).

About me

A quick intro.

Cincinnati Favorites

I love my home town. When folks come to visit I share this ever-evolving list of favorite places to eat, see and experience.

Things I do not need

To stop myself from buying stuff online, I made this page to scratch the itch and intentionally left out the links.

The Kitchen Drawer

A bunch of lists, tidbits and miscellany strewn about this site — a sitemap for things that get lost.

The Chapters of Your Life

This started as a presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic. It’s heavy, but I like to think in a good way.

Creative Mornings Talk

This video from 2013 is long, but lays out who I am and why I think design is awesome. I was nervous as heck through the whole thing.

My old website

I refuse to throw anything away (digitally at least). Here’s my old site cobbled together with spacer gifs and tables.

The Spice Drawer

Jason Kottke, author of a wonderful website, recently made the leap to explore the world untethered. This involved sorting through all the things that keep one anchored, and the spice drawer gave him pause. His reflection stirred emotions.

I routinely consider the lineage of things around the kitchen — gifts from my mom, partner's mom, sister, brother, and friends — so many items I can trace to them, and every time I pause in gratitude.

In the world

Mandy Brown's thoughts honoring the life of Nevan Scott has stopped me in my tracks more than once. Particularly the passage about the etymology of mundane, but also everything else. A powerful reflection on connection, an evolving world, and remarkable human.

Wahclella Falls

My few trips to Oregon have never included this hike to Wahclella Falls. After reading Kevin's experience and seeing photos, I'm making note for the potential.

Layers of automotive paint collect at factories and form these colorful artifacts, showing the changing spectrum of car palettes. As seen in this fabulous up-cycled necklace in a Threads comment.

My name’s Chris, that’s Edie, and this is a place where I store things on the internet.

My goal with all this is to remember things, but also try and understand the patterns of life (That’s the grand idea — it’s usually just kind of ordinary, and that’s okay too.)

In my spare time, I devise schemes to create more spare time.
