Plus, I've turned off my galley permissions, however if you really, really feel that you want one of my pics in your Gallery, and the subject is suitable, please just drop me an email and ask...

Remember people, I'm red/green colourblind, so what you see in these pages, is what may or may not be "adjusted" for my eyes...

If you'd like to see anything "adjusted" in a different manner, please advise, and I'll do my best to change it...

I love this quotation*, and agree with it completely...

"I consider photography to be an Art form, and happily embrace the use of Photoshop, I sometimes like to apply HDR, textures and suchlike, as well as taking very typical landscape chocolate-box type photographs !!
Digital Photography enables us to be creative, but above all, it is FUN !!
Flickr is a great place for learning new skills from others, and raises the standard of our image making, with the added bonus of making new friends"

* from PhotosEcosse (a Flickr contact and friend)

And this one:

"You don’t take a photograph, you make it."

* from Ansel Adams (a wannabe friend of mine)

I absolutely believe that there are things that nobody would ever see, unless I photographed them... (modified from something that Diane Arbus once said)...

    "As photographers, we say "We care!" Our hearts cry out, "It's time to give back!" whenever we speak of this world of ours on loan, and our children's inherit. We say that we will change. We take baby steps and we do so with great intrepidation.

    People like Rick are continually making great contributions toward this goal, through their daily employment and/or through acts of volunteerism. And also by the choices they make and the lives they lead. They 'walk the walk'. It would be in our best interest to pay attention to such humble guardians of the Earth and ask ourselves, "How can I leave this world a far better place than I found it?"

    Then do it!

    You can witness his love of nature by his wonderful work on Flickr as well. I've learned a great deal about photography just by studying his photos (and the photos of other talented souls here on Flickr). Rick's online portfolio consists of his brilliant use of colour, light, composition (and other photographic fields of study) and has earned him numerous accolades. I don't have room here for all of my personal favourites, but here are a few:

    Caution: Many scenes in Rick's photostream may leave you breathless, and they may inspire you to follow your heart and a long ago dream: To leave city life behind and embrace true beauty. To see light and life thrive and things we never knew existed from our concrete jungle and our punch-clock lives.

    And caution: You may never want to leave.
