- [chriskeeney\-fave\-icon](https://chriskeeney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/cropped-chriskeeney-fave-icon2-1.jpg): CK faveicon created in 2011 for my old website\. I wanted it to be bold and simple so when seen small it's still legible\.

- [Human Algorithms: The Creative Edge](https://chriskeeney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Human-Algorithms-The-Creative-Edge.jpg): A Zen\-inspired abstract illustration depicting human consciousness evolving through stillness, attention, and accumulated choice\. Rendered in sumi\-e ink, watercolor, and subtle digital light, the circular composition suggests an inner algorithm shaped by lived experience rather than instruction\. An implied human presence dissolves into mist, light, and flowing energy, reflecting how perception, empathy, and restraint quietly deepen creative work over time\.
Faint, non\-dominant luminous threads indicate AI as a supportive participant in the creative process—expanding possibility without determining meaning\. Soft pathways, layered depth, and open negative space symbolize moments of pause, reflection, and deliberate decision\-making\. The fluid edges dissolve into clouds and ink diffusion, emphasizing gradual evolution rather than immediate outcomes\.
The image serves as a visual meditation on the Four Pillars in practice: pausing before action, choosing with care, perceiving more deeply, and responding with empathy\. It reflects how creative resonance emerges through selection, patience, and presence, revealing not only how a work was made, but why it was worth making\.

- [Can a Computer Use Human Algorithms?](https://chriskeeney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Human-Algorithms-Can-a-Computer-Use-Human-Algorithms.jpg): A circular, Zen\-inspired abstract illustration\. The left half symbolizes AI and computers using binary code, equations, and circuit\-like patterns in cool blue\-silver tones\. The right half symbolizes human consciousness using organic symbols like hearts, hands, birds, and roots in warm gold tones\. A central luminous spiral bridge connects both sides, suggesting collaboration and shared meaning\. Painted in sumi\-e ink with watercolor texture and subtle digital light\.

- [Travel](https://chriskeeney.com/portfolio_page/travel/): One of my favorite things to do in life is travelings and when I travel I like to take photos\. Either with one of my DSLR, mirrorless, point and shoot, or  pinhole cameras\. This is a gallery of a few of the images I've taken over the years\.
- [Street](https://chriskeeney.com/portfolio_page/street/): Whenever I travel to a different city I like to take photos while I walk around with a small point and shoot\. Cameras such as the Canon G series and the Sony RX100\. Often times I'm not holding up the camera to my eye but holding low to my hip as to not call attention to myself\. Not know what I'm shooting often makes it all that more exciting in the end\.
