Chris Jones...
I come from and have existed at Madison, NJ; Andover, NJ; Hobart College;
Baltimore; Geneva, NY, Ames, Iowa, and now (since 1967) Schenectady.
Welcome to my website. It's organized through the links at the top of the page.
There are a lot of pictures here, and there will bve more as soon as I get around to it, which might not be real soon, considering all things. You can find a lot of photographs by clicking on "Photographs" above. My first camera, a twin lens reflex, came from the returns room at the Montgomery Ward store in Baltimore. Many of the places we lived had dark rooms available, and I used them to deveolop and print black and white film and make black and white prints. I( didn't really learn 35 mm until I tought a course in "Scientific and Technical Photography" at Union. The digital age came rather late, after an accumulation of seventeen books full of mostly black and white negatives. Now it's all digital, and quite connected with my computer.
The basic details of my professional life are under "CV's". That's thge education and then college teaching mostly at Union
College in Schenectady. I still drop by at the college now and then, to see what they're thinking about down at the accelerator lab. So far, they haven't thrown me out!
I manage several websites, and you can find them under "My Websites".
Since I'm retired, my interests have shifted a bit from the college stuff over to photography, cooking, the grandchildren, singing, gardening, maintaining websites, and participating in the life of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Schenectady in a variety of ways.
By the way, I was diagnosed in December 2009 with lung cancer. We're doing pretty well at the moment due to lots of support, a lot of prayerse, and a good team of doctors. If you want to, you can read some of the details of my cancer treatment. My last CT scan, in April 2011, did not show any evidence of cancer. So we've won some battles. It's not a barrel of monkeys, but as my brother says, "Getting old is not for sissies!"
Please feel free to drop me a line.
Added note: When I was a young man, my summer job was working at a YMCA camp called Camp Wawayanda located near Andover, NJ. They have since moved to the Catskills in NY state, and are thriving under the Frost Valley name. It was an important thing in my life. I have some stuff, and other stuff has been sent to me. If you're interested, you can check out my Camp Wawayanda pages.
