The following is purely subjective

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

Colorful

I’ve always loved colorful things. I think it might have started with The Muppets. Here’s a bunch of colorful posts.

The Chapters of Your Life

This started as a brief presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic.

Books, movies, video games, music and random other things all mixed together in a visual, sortable grid.

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.

A sequel to my Creative Mornings talk from Layers Conference in 2016 where I share piecing myself back together.

Great Discontent Interview

An old conversation that fills in the blanks of my career and whatnot in an interview format. My tip of the hat to Ryan and Tina for the moment.

My old website

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

James Talarico

This is the first time I've tapped out the letters to this gentleman's name, but I'm doing it to commit to memory. One of my first introductions to James Talarico was this video: I’m tired of being pitted against my neighbor. He's now running for Senate in Texas. The FCC threw flak at CBS for having him appear on The Late Show, so Stephen Colbert released the interview on YouTube.

Extend the life of cut flowers

Sheffield Made Plants gives advice on how to extend the life of cut flowers. I knew a third of these methods beforehand. Hoping I can make the bouquet from Valentine's Day last a wee bit longer with new insight.

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.
