My training is as an oil painter, but I started taking photographs long before I knew how to paint. I've been doing it compulsively for about 2 years which is about how long I've had my DSLR. I like photography of every kind. I like shooting in natural light and try to keep the amount of post-processing on my photos to a minimum whenever possible - and if you believe that I have a bridge...;->. I am interested in design and composition and like looking for ways of bringing out the peculiar in the ordinary. I also like to stress geometry and simplicity in my images. I hope you enjoy your visit to my site. Please don't use my images without getting my ok first.

This testimonial is long overdue.... Rick is a fabulous artist and a generous friend. I love seeing the world through his eyes. His is a world of quiet, understated, simple and serene beauty. He sees elegance in places where others would not. Patterns, shadows, shapes, reflections and pastoral landscapes capture his imagination. I love the sense of playful whimsy that pervades his images. Now, I often times see, because of how Rick has opened my eyes, a play of objects or light that I wouldn't have appreciated before. His interest, generosity and thoughtful critiques are evidenced by his awesome comments on fellow artists work. I always appreciate - in a big way - seeing a lone bird flying somewhere in my stream.
