Christopher Tycho Brown is a Central California–based photographer, digital artist, and storyteller whose work bridges the timeless and the experimental. His images—most notably the Oak Trees of the Santa Ynez Valley—reflect three decades of immersion in nature and the craft of image-making. In the darkroom, he continues to shape digital negatives into platinum and gum emulsion prints, honoring historic processes while creating scenes that feel at once real and dreamlike.
This channel extends that vision into moving form. Here you’ll find original short films, ambient journeys, experimental animations, and documentaries that flow between nature, music, science fiction, and noir. Each piece is designed as an experience—sometimes contemplative, sometimes unsettling, always rooted in the idea that art connects us to something larger.

I made a few changes to the slow blues video and am currently uploading again. I had thought that each scene didn't need a cross dissolve, but after watching it a few times, I changed my mind. The new one will be up for members tonight and a bit latter for everyone else. The changes really did improve the video.

Super Thanks
Hey folks. As you seen in the bottom of many of my post I offer a couple of ways to leave a tip. Since I don’t currently have YouTube ad revenue sharing, it’s just a way for you to help me pay for the tools and licensing to make my videos. Even though I only do these videos for enjoyment (mine and others) many of you know these tools and licensing can be quite expensive. I am super appreciative to any help in this endeavor.

Since I was accepted to the YouTube Partner Program, I am now able to offer YouTube’s SuperThanks which is a more tightly integrated way for you to leave a tip and be recognized for it. At the Bottom of all my videos you’ll find a “Thanks” button now that allows you to send a thanks in whatever amount you like to help support my channel.
