Out of focus, out of touch
Much ado 'bout nothing much.

Lights up your life like a cold salami.
--Gary Dildero

Low-brow, degenerate pap.
--Daniel Fresnik, agent provocateur
Big Chuck's blog is a window into his soul, only the glass is really dirty.
--Edwina "Mom" Schmutz

Chuck’s groundbreaking achievement is the integration of deep philosophical ignorance with an astonishing lack of photographic skill.

Big Chuck is big, but he's no Mencken.

What’s all the fuss?

Chuck puts the blog back in blogging. A photo-literary tour de France, rich in pretension.

A friend of mine just emailed to let me know Ms. Ryder had passed away. I've been searching google all morning trying to get some information, so I truly appreciate your post.
I'm now a graduate student far away in Hawai'i, but I've kept in touch with Marcia all these years. She was so wonderful to me when I was in high school, and truly believed that I would be successful in anything I wanted to do. She's always lived in my mind as a symbol of pursuing your passion in such a way that it benefits the world.
A beautiful soul.
She will be missed.
Nicely said, Charlie. I never knew her, but it sound to me like a life well-lived.
Thank you for putting this up. I have known and loved Marcia since we went to high school together. We had the same inspiring art teacher, Mrs. Sewell, who sent us on to life-long careers in the arts. Marcia has always been and continues to be an inspiration to me and I will miss her. We have been out of touch these last years and I happened across the notice of her passing. It was like getting hit with... I don't know, something big and hard. Some will go before we have a chance to say goodbye. Our sight into the future is faulty. Marcia wouldn't blame you for choosing something else that day. But I understand. I wish I had the chance to say goodbye, and I love you, too.
