Rick is an award winning photographer whose images hang in homes, private collections and business throughout the country. He has had images hanging in the Museum of Flight during an exhibition. He has competed on the local, national , and international levels. Among the awards his images have won include several First place, a Judge's Choice, Image of the Year, and People's choice.
Rick's photographic journey was initiated with a safari trip to Kenya. Determined to return with stunning imagery and a solid understanding of photography, he embarked on a self taught journey before his trip to achieve these goals. Ultimately, these goals were not reached on this particular trip, but it fueled an ongoing quest to improve and enjoy photography even more. He enjoys chasing the light, though self-admitted the sunrises are tough at times, but knows that with determination, hard work, persistence, practice and patience, and with a little luck thrown in, one can have amazing results. He continues his evolution of photographer, artist and story teller.
Rick lives in southern California with his wife Heidi, a photographer in her own right, and their two cats, whom insist on being present and helpful during post processing sessions. Rick doesn't take himself too seriously and also hates referring to himself in the 3rd person.
