By profession I am a CPA and that pays the bills. I will always be a Marine since earning the Eagle Globe and Anchor had such an impact on my life. I love photography and I wish I had formal training but practice and experience will have to do for now.

 

Please keep your political feelings to yourself. Like most people I'm tired of all the silly progressive/leftist nonsense spewed by people who seem to have a high opinion of themselves. Flickr is a place to enjoy photography not to preach your foolishness. I always appreciate a face with a name like most of us on Flickr, so lose the creepy blanked out buddy icon so we can be friends. If you are hiding behind the anonymity of the internet and a nom de guerre we can't be friends anyway so don't add me as a contact. Many of my contacts I consider personal friends even though we haven't met and hope you have the same experience on Flickr.

 

Comments and suggestions to improve my work are welcomed with open arms. I was stuck in tax and accounting classes in college and missed out on the artsy creative stuff so feel free to guide me :)

I don't know what to say that everyone else hasn't said about Rick's work. Action, comedy, quality are the first words that come to mind when I think of Rick's work! One day I'll ace atleast ONE jump shot similar to what he captures consistently. I hope you publish some of these shots and when you do, I want an auto… Read more

I don't know what to say that everyone else hasn't said about Rick's work. Action, comedy, quality are the first words that come to mind when I think of Rick's work! One day I'll ace atleast ONE jump shot similar to what he captures consistently. I hope you publish some of these shots and when you do, I want an autographed copy. SHOOT ON RICK!!!

There are no real words to describe the affection the world of Flickr has for Rick. His photos bring a smile to your face - instantly. His warmth of character and infectious love of life are revealed in every jump shot he takes whether he is the subject or not. He is funny, supportive and encourages his friends creativity with a good dose of teasing. His humble opinion of his own talent is endearing but off the mark. He is a technically strong photographer and has a creative soul that is in every one of his images. Flickr is a better place with Rick in it. My world is a better place because of Rick - he's one of a kind and a great friend.

His jump shot's scream happiness and fun... he inspired me to do a few self portraits jumping and who would have known how fun it would be and now I'm a bit addicted :). Thank you Rick for making Flickr alive with your amazing and creative photo's. Don't forget we still need to do our jump shot together!

As far as HIS photostream goes, well, you've seen it. He has magnificent work with models (including himself... yeah, Rick, I just called you a model! lol) willing to put up with his weirdly unique ideas revolving around the jump. Rick rules.
