Photography, Communications & Me
Twas a beautiful morning along the Fox River Valley today, and I couldn’t resist a few photos of my favorite tree. Here’s an in-the-field version from the camera to my phone. 1/200 F14 ISO100 at 105mm on Oct. 23, 2021 in Carpentersville, Ill.
Digging through the archives, I came across a scan from 1998. Taken while on a spring break trip as part of the Illinois State University band, this photo shows Adare Trinitarian Abbey in County Limerick, Ireland. A photo of this image has been sitting above […]
This “abandoned” farmstead still shelters a harvest wagon and is flanked by well-maintained fields. The mist and sleet provide stark contrast for the structure against the sky. Eaves, Chris (March 16, 2020). Abandoned Americana No. 7 [Photograph]. Odell, Ill. Shot on a Canon 6D at […]
Last “new” photo from a 2007 trip to Puerto Rico, this one taken with a bulb shutter at night.
A slightly different take from “Southern Falls“, which I published in 2018. This one has a bit of foliage framing. As you can see, I’ve now made it into 2010 on this journey through my digital archives.
As I continued to dig through the archives, I found this one from a trip to Puerto Rico back in 2009. We’re looking at the loading pier/dock for the abandoned and since redeveloped Guanica Sugar Mill. Once one of the largest sugar mills in the world, it closed operations in 1982 and loomed large for decades thereafter. Redevelopment plans from 1999 can still be found online. Drop a note in the form below if you know more about current efforts.
Back when I was running the internal communications. team at Tyson Foods, we upgraded our digital signage network (DSN) with all the bells and whistles. We then leveraged a peer network of “field communications champions” to deploy local content, and we mined that content for […]
The beautiful Mendenhall Valley and the Mendenhall Glacier are rapidly changing. Looking at my photos from 2007 and those on Google Maps today reveal a very different front of the glacier as it recedes up the valley.
Back in 2006 I visited Toronto while I considered a Ph.D. program in Marketing. While there, I saw this new housing development and couldn’t resist taking a photo of the low winter sun illuminating the townhomes.
Digging through the archives, I came across a scan from 1998. Taken while on a spring break trip as part of the Illinois State University band, this photo shows Adare Trinitarian Abbey in County Limerick, Ireland. A photo of this image has been sitting above the TV for the last decade.
The weather played tricks all day, with fits of snow blowing through in waves. In between, it was quite nice, albeit cold. Still, I had a chance to snap a few pics on my Fuji X-T3.
Coming around the bend, I found this tree overhanging the bank and nicely framing the view.

This post may seem like it’s nothing more than an insanely long tangent, and I understand the confusion. Truth is, what follows is core to the question of why I capture photons onto a sensor and create art. For twenty-some years, I’ve been a corporate […]
One happy side effect of practicing still-life shots is that you then get to enjoy the subject matter afterward. This mum, for example, has lasted all week. I called this “You CAN Do Something with a Flower” as that was my youngest’s reaction when she […]
A tree and its shadow along the banks of the Fox River.
