Senior citizen, High School Special Education teacher. I like abandoned buildings, local history. I also take pictures to document events in my church especially the church youth whom I work with. In general, I take pictures of what catches my eye and is interesting to me. I am a Lutheran Christian. I take my faith seriously. I also do a lot of photographs for and of my church. So I am sure you are a very nice person, I have zero interest porn and if your profile is full of porn groups or your favorites are full of adult or gross material, Please do not make me a contact or favorite my pictures. On Flickr, you are judged by the company you keep

Richard is a lovely person and one of Flickr's most respected, especially from what I see in our circle of friends. Always on the move with a camera at hand, exploration features highly whilst finding some of America's most hidden secrets. I especially enjoy his view on olde relics, abandoned buildings and the most beautiful American 'styled' churches. Every posting is unique and an inspiration to me.
