Richard is one of the first i got to know on flickr. Surely i can vouch for the fact that he will be one of the people who will make you think "What will Richard think? Will he like this? What would his comments be?" when you look at a nice piece of art work or think you have a nice image posted on flickr. The reason is very simple. Apart from the already established fact that Richard is extremely kind and helpful with sharing his high level understanding of photography its the kind of personalized response and attention to detail one will notice when you have a conversation with him. Over the period of years, i'm delighted to say not only have i found a flickr buddy but a wonderful friend in him. No matter who cares or remembers you will find Richard's wonderful posters & greeting cards in the mail that will put a big smile across your face and make you feel wanted and loved, most importantly special. As i continue to be the astonished audience that i always am every-time i look at a new picture he uploads on flickr or the things he shares via email & blog i will say my admiration, respect and love is completely on another level. If you want to know good what photography is, in plain simple terms and learn from a splendid example, you've gotta have Richard on your RSS feeds. I think its a fantastic head start.

It's rare in public social circles and especially on the internet to meet someone who doesn't start a sentence with "I". Richard is one of these people, willing to lend a hand and/or have an intelligent conversation without expecting anything in return.

It's rare in public social circles and especially on the internet to meet someone who doesn't start a sentence with "I". Richard is one of these people, willing to lend a hand and/or have an intelligent conversation without expecting anything in return. Richard is a fantastic photographer and an even better person. If you're lucky enough to be included in his social circle, make sure you take the time to appreciate the man as well as his art.

First of all, thank you Richard, for helping me with my own photo-ing. You really seem to care & take the time to help people who admire your talents & I am one of those people.

First of all, thank you Richard, for helping me with my own photo-ing. You really seem to care & take the time to help people who admire your talents & I am one of those people. I get a little smile every time one of your photos shows up on my contacts page.....I love looking, reading the caption, going to properties to see just what you did, then looking again! Your photos are lots of times just the everyday stuff around you but it opens up a whole new world for me & gives me the nudge I need to try it myself. Several of my inside playing-around shots come from looking at your salt & pepper shakers! Someday I would love to meet you & Ann cuz I bet you are even better in person. Stay happy & focused......& thanks for being a flickr friend. -Kay

Friendship and trust are great things. When there is a distance of 3500 miles, and someone invites you to stay with them, having only video chatted and emailed, then these things have even more significance!

When there is a distance of 3500 miles, and someone invites you to stay with them, having only video chatted and emailed, then these things have even more significance! Richard is a genuine, authentic guy who I have a huge amount of respect for - his photography is superb, and the way he approaches life should be a lesson for many people. PS Those steaks were the best!

He puts great care and detail into each image he presents to us, demonstrating his patience, his respect for his own craft, and his amazing ability to paint with light.

There are people on this world that became a source of inspiration for many people around them. They became mentors and have the talent and generosity to share their powerful view of the world.

Richard and I have a common interest beyond photography. He and I are both drummers and when I saw one of his photos of a jazz musician, I had to make contact. Subsequently, Richard has proven himself to be a very knowledgeable resource about all things photographic and even more importantly, he’s proven to be a very sharing individual. He has spent his time advising me on several occasions, and for this I am grateful. Richard’s photography is first rate and as much as I enjoy looking at his pictures, I appreciate reading his captions as they communicate much of who Richard is. I find that he really likes to approach things head on, investing himself wholly into those things which intrigue him. I also see that Richard genuinely appreciates life and good friends and most importantly, loves his mother. To me Richard represents Flickr at it's best.

He won't tell you that his photographs are impeccable, but I will. Richard "Modest" Wanderman brought me into the world of dSLR with his exceptional technical knowledge. His nature photographs and macros are top-notch, and maybe even a bit understated. Richard tells the truth, in both words and his images. Thank you fo… Read more
