Over the last few years I have become a very strong fan of Jim Richardson and his images. For a real treat, stop in and see his gallery in Lindsborg, KS. While you are there be certain to see his wife, Kathy's, jewelry. It is awesome/spectacular in its own right! I had the great pleasure to accompany Jim on some of the flint hills shooting expeditions and have to explain that I learned an immense amount from his expertise. We had a great time and lost some serious sleep shooting the stars, lightning bugs and getting out early - staying out late then driving back home. On the downside, I discovered I was in need of some new equipment and devices. This revelation cost me some serious money but I have already benefited from the expenditures. The other downside was my abandonment of PC's for MAC's. OK, that was only a temporary downside. I had to learn a new system and how to use it. I can honestly say that Jim hammered on me for two years before I made the switch and I can't say enough about the positive aspects of the switch for both me and my photography. Thanks for pushing me, Jim. You are a real friend and great influence on those of us here in the Great Plains.
