are you my rik?'s flickr score: 3418

I'm a dad with a camera (a dangerous combination at times...as you can see). I'm a son, I'm a father, I'm a husband. I'm a teacher. I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I'm fine with being called a Mormon, as long as you know what that means. I served in the Barcelona, Spain mission from 1996 to 1998. I'm fairly easy going. I've lived out of the country and I loved it. I moved to Kansas, I started a new job, I'm nervous and excited, tired and sad. I'm open to meeting new people and making new friends. I'm an amateur photographer, I'm not that good, I crave constructive feedback on my work.

i use sets to an extreme degree.

and i'm very grateful to flickrite, photographer, and generally wonderful person Kat~J1M for my pro account. i recommend that you check out her stream if you haven't yet. i've included just one wonderful sample out of so many that could be here.

thanks, kat!
