Michael Rickard's photostream  

Well, I just really enjoy taking photos. I enjoy sharing them and explaining my techniques with everyone... Other than that I am just a pretty easy going guy looking for the next great adventure.

Also, do not be surprised if I make you a contact after you make me one... I think if you are that interested in my photography than I should be in yours, too. And I really enjoy looking at other's photos to learn new techniques and/or perspectives on how to view something. So thank you to my contacts!!

Some of my favorite photography quotes:

People will never understand the patience a photographer requires to make a great photograph, all they see is the end result. I can stand in front of a leaf with a dew drop, or a rain drop, and stay there for ages just waiting for the right moment. Sure, people think I'm crazy, but who cares? I see more than they do! - Alfred Eisenstaedt

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say. - Author Unknown

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. - Ansel Adams

Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius. - Benjamin Disraeli
