"Every photograph captures some kind of beauty, mood or emotion. A lot of photographers do this much better than me, but I keep trying," - I said that.
A few times I actually post a photo that others like.
And a few times I post photos that nobody likes.
Most of the time I post photos I like.
My work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and daytime TV.
I love to jack around.

You should Follow Ricko. You will start every day with a laugh if you do.
Very clever photos. Enjoy them and will be back.
Rick's images always make me smile, sometimes laugh out loud. He has the most unusual sense of humour and conveys it simply and clearly. His photos stream is the most enjoyable fun and eclectic photo collection on Flickr.
Well, if you've got this far through Ricko's list of testimonials, you've probably already got the idea. Ricko without a doubt has one of the most original photostreams on Flickr. At first you won't get it. Then you'll think WTF? Then, inexorably, you'll fall down the rabbit hole of his vision. The man is a maestr… Read more
Well, if you've got this far through Ricko's list of testimonials, you've probably already got the idea. Ricko without a doubt has one of the most original photostreams on Flickr. At first you won't get it. Then you'll think WTF? Then, inexorably, you'll fall down the rabbit hole of his vision. The man is a maestro with gherkins. Did you know gherkins are addictive? Seriously!
Read lessRicko is a very rare case of photographer, one that combines sensitivity with an anarchic sense of humor.
Quirky, sometimes disturbing, always interesting. I've learned more about how to photograph a pickle from Ricko than any other photographer, living or dead. Thank you for making my day every time I browse your stream.
Undeniable, unsurpassable... Unstoppable! ricko is my Guru.
Tired of the usual on flickr? The apocalytptic goth vampire gasmask look alike demo destruction over processed crap? Want fresh? Want uninhibited? New? Not following the beat of any drummer at all? That's Ricko. This is the right place. This is the future. Fear for the children.
ricko is a new found fabulous Flickr friend! *Now say that three times fast! GO!........... Seriously, I'm enjoying browsing through his stream and realizing how his creativity and sense of humor are perfectly blended to elicit a smile.

Ricko's work, from his hilarious assemblages and ego-free self-portraits to his wonderful landscapes and urban-scapes, is a breath of fresh air. But not just any air, it's the caviar of air. You're not going to find a more wonderful combination of excellent and unpretentious anywhere. If you're having a bad day, lookin… Read more
Ricko's work, from his hilarious assemblages and ego-free self-portraits to his wonderful landscapes and urban-scapes, is a breath of fresh air. But not just any air, it's the caviar of air. You're not going to find a more wonderful combination of excellent and unpretentious anywhere. If you're having a bad day, looking at Ricko's work will turn it around. If you're having a good day, it'll get better. I'm just saying: don't miss out on it.
Read lessOne of the most inventive people behind a camera that I know. I have learned some things about perspective from visiting his pictures. It is good to know you Rick.
Ricko is like the chicken to my egg. Yes, that makes no sense but neither does he. Which is why I adore him. his photoes are awesome, and at times humorous and he has been a great pal in many groups. Renaissance man, for real!
ricko offers me every day a big smile and a very important lesson: Not to be afraid to pass the limit. I hope that some day I will learn my lesson. In any case, I thank him deeply for supporting me while trying :-)
Ricko is the perfect antidote for visual overload brought on by too much of: "eye candy," narcissistic self portraits, cute animal shots, flower closeups, darling kiddie pics, etc. etc. What a guy!
Lots of people are clever, witty, subtle good photographers. Ricko is just out and out funny. And clever and a brilliant photographer. And a nice guy. You have to love him.
then i first time find Ricko photos on the Flickr...i laughing 2 days....its craziest photographer I've seen...keep going and make our life little bit cheerful:)
ricko's photostream is awesome....he takes things...smushes them up...twists them around...and spits'em out into something that makes you smile..laugh...and think!....photography is supposed to be fun...and ricko's pictures help me do exactly that!!
Ricko is the coolest Kansan I've ever not met through the Internet. His photos are some of the quirkiest, most imaginative and downright funny I've seen.
ricko is completely out of his mind. that's what makes him and his work so good. let's hope he never cuts off his ear for his art, but if he does I'm sure it will make for a smashing photo :)
It's said that he who dies with the most toys, wins. Well then, I have NO shot at winning. Ricko has a wonderful ability to find the fun and joy in everything. That kind of expression of happiness can only come from a deep happiness inside. That means he's already won.
Ricko's creativity lay in his ability to present the ordinary in extraordinary ways with an intentionality that is provocative and inspiring.
mostly crazy :)
Quirky, punny, and sensitive shots compete for attention in a lively, intelligent and entertaining photostream. There's a lot to enjoy, observational shots, farcical setups, great family shots, and plenty of art for the serious-minded. Courteous, cheerful and carnivorous, I can seriously say "Congrats, Ricko."
Rick is a brilliant photographer disguised as a mad man. He will photograph the most gorgeous landscape you will see, and then turn around and grab a shot of a toy Elvis dancing with the lunch lady. And trust me, you'll appreciate each of them for the brilliance that created them. Wild, diverse, amazing... I look f… Read more

Rick is Flickr friend and a better photographer than me. Unfortunately he is a desperate and deeply disturbed man trying to balance the onslaught of love from a devoted family with a long suppressed Juvenile Toy Trauma. JTT have allowed him to dominate me in The Unsafe. Please send him money, or if you must, toy parts.

Flickr's funnest photog! The man is brilliant.
I often find myself drawn to Ricko's stream when I am in need of a bit of cheering up. He has some of the funnest (yes I mean funnest) shots on Flickr. Along with his amazing ability to amuse, is some shots that are absolutely breathtaking!
A very talented photographer with a good eye for light & detail Talking about the lighter side, his shots are second to none, show off his humorous approach to life & his unique perspectives
