About
After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University in 2003 with a degree in Recording Industry, Christopher entered the film and video industry. As an audio engineer for the Manhattan Producers Alliance in New York City, he worked on projects for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and cable television networks such as Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel.
Christopher’s first love is film, a passion that is demonstrated in the creativity and originality he brings to each piece. He strives to create an authentic perspective in each of his projects, and possesses a certain gift for shooting documentary-style pieces.
Starting in 2010, he created the @1614 film and art series. The show has been recognized by Art Focus Magazine for its innovative approach to highlighting artist and bringing attention to talent in Oklahoma. With each film, Christopher vividly illustrates the relationship between the artist and their work.
Here on this blog - you will find Christopher's work - but also work that serves to inspire.

This is the second installment of a new monthly webisode called “@1614” - which will feature artists in the Oklahoma City metro area.
This month’s artist is Ryan Cunningham. Ryan is focusing his art on two series of work - Modern Life and Modern West.
The Modern Life pieces grow out of Ryan’s fascination with what he perceives as the ever increasing speed of today’s world.
The Modern West work grows out of Ryan’s interest in the myth of the American West. In Oklahoma, the myth of the American West is alive, well and nearly inescapeable. Ryan is a native and nearly life long resident of Oklahoma, thus it is only natural that he wants to make his own comment on the iconic imagery of the American west.
This piece was shot on the Canon 5D mark II - along with a glidetrack. Lenses - 50mm 1.4 - 85 mm 1.8 - 70 to 200mm 2.8
Music provided by the geniuses that are WILCO. Song is titled “Impossible Germany” off the album SKY BLUE SKY.
