kjer_99 Bio

kjer stands for "Kansas Jeremy." Yahoo screwed up things and added the rest. My good grrrl's name is "Julie Jane Russell Because She Ain't No Jack" but we just call her Julie and a host of nicknames (Mz. Demeanor, Land Shark, God Damn it!, etc.) BIO Born in North Dakota, learned to talk in Texas, early elementary years in southern Michigan near Lake Huron, brief time in Miami Beach (during WWII), back to Michigan. Parents divorced and we moved back to northcentral Kansas, which became my adopted home (although folks were 4th or 5th generation Kansans). At 18, joined USAF and served a year in Korea (after the cease-fire) and two in southern Japan; however, the only foreign country I served in was pre-Civil Rights movement Gulf Coast Mississippi! :) My Air Force job was control tower operator, then later worked in headquarters administration. Returned to Kansas, got married to wife number 1 and got a college degree (or two plus) and taught public school (8th Grade English) for 4 years. Adopted two mixed-race children (girl and boy). Spent a year ill and unemployed then began working for 25 years with mentally and multiply challenged folks in State institutions. Divorced after 25 years (amicably), endured 4 years of bachelorhood, then married wife Number 2. (Both fine women, by the way.) Retired for five years then got a part-time college instructor position, teaching Freshmen how to write at the college level for another five years, then retired a second time. Still with wife No. 2.
My first identity was as an artist. Later, also became a writer. Wrote about about nine multi-volumed science-fantasy novel manuscripts. Was given very encouraging rejections by editiors, but just never seemed to be what met their publishing needs. Gave up art (pastel pencils and fine-line ink drawings, mostly) for about 10 years due to operations on wrists that messed up coordination in fingers and created involuntary releases of my grasp. (It's very discouraging to spent 40 hours on a fine-line ink drawing only to drop the pen on it in the last hour or two.) Finally decided that avenue of expression was no longer viable for me and concentrated by creative efforts into writing. Then, about four years ago, I discovered the worlds of Bryce, Poser, and Vue and have been able to go back to my first love; art.
My association with Renderosity has been wonderful. In my gallery I get to combine both my creative loves: writing and art. I appreciate very much the responses and comments of viewers and thank those special few who keep comming back to my gallery. Interests in no particular order: 3D Graphic arts, writing (poetry and novels), photography, science-fiction and fantasy, science in general, astronomy (especially Mars and extra solar planets), ecology.

Description


Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody! Unfortunately, in America it seems our national day for observing thanks has just turned into "Turkey-day"--a day to eat ourselves full to the point of obscenity. Nevertheless, I still like to use some of the day to ponder all the things for which I am thankful.

I've never had everything that I wanted, but I always have had enough--and in an age when many on this good Earth are starving and homeless.

I've enjoyed mostly good health during my life; and when it failed me, I have had the miracle of excellent doctors and the skills of their minds and hands to heal me and return me to good health.

I have not always been the best parent that I should have been, but my children still honor and love me.

I have known the love of two good women; and am thankful that, each in their own time, were willing to share a big part of my life.

I have circled the sun 74 times and known the passing of an equal number of beautiful seasons.

Two small dogs and one cat have taught me much of God, myself, and what is really important in life. Some may think that is a silly thing, but I assure you those relationships have taught me many profound lessons about life.

I'm thankful for the creativity that has been such a big part of my life.

So many things to be thankful about; the list goes on and on.

And one of the things that I am especially happy and grateful about, is you, my cyber-friends. Your interest and encourgements have had a very positive impact upon my life. Thank you, my Friends!

Jeremy

Happy Thanksgiving, Jeremy! (Or, as I like to call it, Tryptophan Awareness Day) Great image. I like the field.

Happy Thanksgiving my friend...hope it's a good one! Like the POV in this one,especially looking through the foreground grass...a little DOF blurring of said grass would add to the depth,but that's minor...nicely done!

Excellent work, Jeremy! Thank you for your nice words! They moved me! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! :)

Very lovely render Jeremy, as is the sentiment shared. Your right, there's alot to be thankful for, aspect's of one's own life often forgotten or never realized by many. Happy Thanksgiving to you too :) (ours in Canada was much earlier, mid October)

RETIRED ()  posted at 7:51PM Fri, 23 November 2012

tHANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. I have been reflecting on the past a great deal lately ... awake or dreaming. little details like pets, steam engines, people and events not thought of for near 7 decades, lizards in the sun, water jacks in hand dug wells ... and much more. hugs to all.

Issemissen ()  posted at 1:37PM Mon, 21 January 2013

This is a wonderful render, with intricate detail. Where I live we do not celebrate Thanksgiving like you do. But it is such a beautiful tradition. We should all count our blessings (is that the right expression?) because we have so much to be grateful for, if we only look around us. All the best.

Well said... And a nice POV,,
