I clicked with Rick right away. He’s work always brings joy and nothing makes me happier than when out of nowhere, I receive Rich’s visit on my stream – he literally “travels” through my shots and leaves me fantastic and genuine words, that I am not able to return. Although I have never met him and we live miles and miles away, it seems that we know each other. Rich, I truly like your work and I hope to meet you one day and spend some time talking about so many things that come up on our common hobby. Thank you for being such a great contact and a wonderful inspiration!

I don't remember how I met Richard on here,but I'm glad I did ! I can say that I don't think you will find a kinder,more generous person. As so very talented as he is,he doesn't take himself too seriously,and that's a quality I find endearing. He makes me smile with his cute self takes ! He's also a brother in the Lord… Read more

Richard... You truly inspire me as a photographer. I love how you seek out and find such beauty in the most simple and mundane things in this world. You have caused me to look twice at everything around me. You have taught me to be proud of myself and my own images (especially those times when I have been hard on… Read more

Richard... You truly inspire me as a photographer. I love how you seek out and find such beauty in the most simple and mundane things in this world. You have caused me to look twice at everything around me. You have taught me to be proud of myself and my own images (especially those times when I have been hard on myself). I love how you take just a moment to offer a hello or the kindest of comments when nobody else does. You have become a friend I look forward to hearing from because it brightens my day. You truly have become an inspiration in more ways than you will ever know. Thank you for everything... :D

Richard is one of my oldest and best friends here on flickr. . . . I have such respect for him -- not only as the fine chronicler of the life of the city that he is, but also for being the wonderful kind person that he is; and I thank him for his visits to my stream where he always leaves cogent and insightful comment… Read more

I have such respect for him -- not only as the fine chronicler of the life of the city that he is, but also for being the wonderful kind person that he is; and I thank him for his visits to my stream where he always leaves cogent and insightful comments; it is an honor to be able to call him a friend

After almost a year on Flickr (which I joined to be able to see pictures of New York) I have to write a few words about Richard, who was one of the first persons who commented my pictures, and never fails to say something nice whatever I post.

After almost a year on Flickr (which I joined to be able to see pictures of New York) I have to write a few words about Richard, who was one of the first persons who commented my pictures, and never fails to say something nice whatever I post. Not only I found pictures of New York in his photostream, but I lived a whole year of New Year York life. He took me to the iconic places but also to his home, to the soup kitchen where he works as a volonteer, (giving me finally the impulse to do the same), to the restaurant where he works, on walks through the park and to eat in nice little diners. Thanks to Richard I lived a year of New York life as if we lived next door, and one doesn't not find that in other photostreams. His thoughts and ideas on life are always intelligent and thoughtful, and his sense of humour is just refreshing. It lights up your day when you are a little depressed and find one of his pictures, like one of the last ones sitting in Pax eating a soup from a plastic bowl. I reminds me a little of Seinfield: describing every day situations, which we all experience, in a funny way that makes you laugh. Thank you Richard for a year in New York. I'm already looking forward to the next year with you!!

I want to jump on the bandwagon right here and NOW!!!!! Richard has the most amazing sense of humour, he is an amazing photographer and never, ever forgets to comment!! I came across his stream by pure chance and I am so thankfull that I did. When I first added him, I was scared that he might laugh at my excuse of p… Read more

I came across his stream by pure chance and I am so thankfull that I did. When I first added him, I was scared that he might laugh at my excuse of photography, but he not only made me a contact and a friend, he seems to find something positive to say about his contacts pics......... Live on, my friend and thank you for the laughter you have brought into my life and the life of others!!

This is so long overdue that I am ashamed! Richard is by far one of my fave flickr pals...his sense of humor, his ability to make fun of himself, his love of people, his love of NYC...he has brought it all to Flickr in abundance! I adore his stream for its diversity. As someone who doesn't live in NYC but would have i… Read more

This is so long overdue that I am ashamed! Richard is by far one of my fave flickr pals...his sense of humor, his ability to make fun of himself, his love of people, his love of NYC...he has brought it all to Flickr in abundance! I adore his stream for its diversity. As someone who doesn't live in NYC but would have if circumstances allowed I get to live vicariously through his street scenes, his generosity as he shares his wonderful city! He sees the little details that surely I would overlook in my touristy awe and he brings them to life in his stream. He randomly photographs the people of the city and brings their personality to life in such a candid way. We get to live it all through his eyes!! Thank you Richard! ♥

Richard is pretty much amazing, so kind and thoughtful. He is an extremely talented photographer. He finds beauty in the simple things, and creates amazing composition out of nothing. I wish I could see the world the way he does, thankfully he allows me to catch glimpses of his sights through his photographs. I am so g… Read more
