There are only two types of photography.

.....The first is to record, these can be people, places and events.

.....The second records the soul of the photographer....

"ME!: rhfo2o | rick hathaway photography"

The job of an artist is to provoke a reaction to "his" art.

It does not matter if that reaction is positive or negative, "his" job is done.

“Art should comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable”

Thanking you for dropping by, I always appreciate your faves and comments.

Unfortunately fate prevents me from always replying and reciprocating, I do try.

April 2026 my account reached 1,250,000 views.

I wish to thank each and everyone who has taken their time and shown their appreciation for my work.

I take photographs for myself, but when someone gives me a favourite or comment it inspires me to continue.

Thank you so very much.

Please kindly note:

Only photographs - No AI Generation here! (Although it is impossible to process my photos without some sort of AI being present, but I keep it to a minimum)

I do not think AI generated images should be allowed to sit with Photography, they are two entirely different genres.

One requires the use of a camera, the knowledge and skill to use it, the other? throw a few commands at the software and wait for it to pilfer and ravage our art, using it to make artificial images. Its not for me.

I do not collect favourites or contacts, but I will carefully choose some for inspiration and to show my reaction to your photography

Thank you

Rick
