I love photography as an art and I think in the real possibility to shoot good photos also handling common cameras, in my opinion the photographer is like a painter of our own feelings filtered through camera lenses.

"A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind."
-- Quote by Albert Einstein

I know Rickydavid only through his photos. But what photos! Without fail, the words are thoughtful and his visions haunting and beautiful! "Art Photography" does little to describe the true artistry of his photography. His work should be on the cover of magazines. Someone should have done a book just of his photos by now. To shake the hand of the man who has taken such photographs would be a privilege.

It's wonderful to see a picture, having the beautiful sensation to live it, to be there, in that place, to feel the moment it was shot. Riccardo has got the rare gift to transmit similar emotions. Me and ricky grew up together, so our paths of life, however different are continuously interwoven with each other and he has always been, along with my family, a fixed point, a reference, an example. Thanks to him I have approached again to photography and thanks to him I discovered flickr in this beautiful community of passionate people. You are not only a fixed point for me, but for many people who loves your wonderful creations. Thanks Ricky!!! :) Your bro, Lorenzo

Scrivere un testimonial è una cosa impegnativa ma a volte troppe parole fanno rumore e servono a poco. In questo caso particolarmente inutili sono le parole, dato che i meravogliosi scatti di Rickydavid parlano da soli. Comlimenti davvero per il gusto, l'innato talento e la perfetta composizione, davvero un "maestro" da seguire con attenzione.
Read lessLe sue foto sono a dir poco meravigliose, le guardo spesso perchè mi suscitano emozioni piacevoli. Secondo me la bravura di un fotografo sta proprio nel far emozionare le persone con i suoi click e a quanto pare lui ci riesce benissimo :) Consiglio a tutti di ammirare ed emozionarsi con i suoi scatti!
complimenti per le foto stupende, mi lasciano senza fiato vorrei riuscire anche io a suscitare tali emozioni
