The Spooky World of Chris Ringler
Welcome to my strange world of Blogs, Books, Movie Reviews, Podcasts, Stories, and Art!
These are just some random images I took that show dead or lost places. These were once homes and farms and were once thriving with life. Now these places are ghosts, markers to another time, another period, and to people who are long gone.
I already gave a brief idea in a previous post about what Tyrone Sunken Gardens is like so I'll spare you other than to say - imagine a wheel, with a white stone as its center, then with spokes of paving stones going out to four points. At the north and south are gates, if… Continue reading Garden of Stone 2 – My Return To Tyrone Sunken Gardens
This is a totally random amalgamation of images of the places around where I live and of a painting I did last week. There's no real meaning other than I was out and about and taking pictures of things that intrigued me. That's the fun of being a hobby photographer - I don't have to… Continue reading The places that I go…
Flint's a funny city for a lot of reasons but the reason the always perplexes me is the indifference to areas that are not right, square downtown. Sure, there are people that live and care about the other areas of Flint but for some reason no one seems willing or able to set their goals… Continue reading North Saginaw Street
More pictures with me as the model. Hey, I like working with myself, what can I say? This didn't turn out like I had hoped, but the idea is there. I think the painting might work out better. Sometimes we have to smile though, whether we want to or not. "And where do you live… Continue reading Frown and you’re alone, smile, and the world smiles with you.
For the uninitiated, Flint is known as the Vehicle City. Not the Motor City, as that's Detroit, but the Vehicle City. This takes into consideration that 1. GM used to be a major force here and this was where many classic machines were made but 2. it really speaks to the fact that Flint is… Continue reading Wheels Keep Turning…
Flint, like every other city, is home to more dead than living. So there are, along many roads, behind many gates, the remains of those that came before us, those that made this city what it was, laid the foundation for what it is, and whose whispers will tell the future what this place was.… Continue reading Avondale – pictures
Near where I grew up and lived for some twenty seven years is a cemetery that is pretty much like a thousand other cemeteries around the United States. There are manicured lawns, headstones for the lost beloved, and the sense of absence or loss that always hangs about these places. If you find it though,… Continue reading The Garden of Stone – My Trip To Tyrone Sunken Gardens
So, here in Flint I live in a pretty funky building in the middle of downtown. The landlord/owner is an old school guy in town and owns one of the nation's oldest all ages punk venues. Cool guy, funky space. He let us do a few art shows in the empty first floor space, which… Continue reading The Six-Two-Five
Couple other random blood pics. Whoooo! And yeah, the blood is very fake. This guy has a weak stomach when it comes to the real stuff, which is funny, seeing as how I love horror stuff and all but, really, I can MAKE fake blook, I gotta poke, prod, or stab something to make, you… Continue reading More (fake) blood, less peas
This is just me playing with some fake blood I made up. I needed a model and well, I was available. HAHA.
