I live in Canton, Ohio with my wife, Edyta. Three children: Anna, Sarah and Tomek. We love to vacation, and we escape as often as possible and are constantly in some vacation planning / scheming stage, whether finances are sufficient or not and whether we have vacation time or not. My favorite destination is Poland due to family connections, friends, and many good memories (10 trips there since 1990; 90, 96, 98, 99, 00, 02, 03, 05, 07, 09). Next trip June 2011, probably to Ukraine and Slovakia, too. Other destinations below. Photos are taken with a Canon SX10IS since late December '08, before this a Canon S3IS. Before that I was using an HP Photosmart 945 purchased late in 2004 after years with a Canon Rebel 35mm. I don't have Photoshop, but use simple programs to crop and make some minor adjustments when necessary. Hope you enjoy looking at my pictures as much as I enjoy taking them...RM

    "All I know about Rick is that he is very special, tender and intelligent man. His photos are full of beauty - they reflect both diversity of Rick's interior and surrounding world in splendid symbiosis. You can find the excellent colour schemes, perfect arrangements and general truth, wisdom and beauty synthesis in Rick's pictures. I do admire them and Rick as well. Very good job, Rick!"
