  "Tired of the usual on flickr? The apocalytptic goth vampire gasmask look alike demo destruction over processed crap? Want fresh? Want uninhibited? New? Not following the beat of any drummer at all?
  
  That's Ricko.
  
  This is the right place. This is the future. Fear for the children."

  Alexis Gerard - Off for a month says:

  "Ricko's work, from his hilarious assemblages and ego-free self-portraits to his wonderful landscapes and urban-scapes, is a breath of fresh air. But not just any air, it's the caviar of air. You're not going to find a more wonderful combination of excellent and unpretentious anywhere. If you're having a bad day, looking at Ricko's work will turn it around. If you're having a good day, it'll get better. I'm just saying: don't miss out on it."

  "ricko offers me every day a big smile and a very important lesson: Not to be afraid to pass the limit. I hope that some day I will learn my lesson. In any case, I thank him deeply for supporting me while trying :-)"

  "Ricko is the perfect antidote for visual overload brought on by too much of: "eye candy," narcissistic self portraits, cute animal shots, flower closeups, darling kiddie pics, etc. etc.
  What a guy!"

  "ricko is completely out of his mind. that's what makes him and his work so good. let's hope he never cuts off his ear for his art, but if he does I'm sure it will make for a smashing photo :)"

  "It's said that he who dies with the most toys, wins. Well then, I have NO shot at winning. Ricko has a wonderful ability to find the fun and joy in everything. That kind of expression of happiness can only come from a deep happiness inside. That means he's already won."

  "Quirky, punny, and sensitive shots compete for attention in a lively, intelligent and entertaining photostream. There's a lot to enjoy, observational shots, farcical setups, great family shots, and plenty of art for the serious-minded.
  Courteous, cheerful and carnivorous, I can seriously say
  "Congrats, Ricko.""

  "Rick is a brilliant photographer disguised as a mad man. He will photograph the most gorgeous landscape you will see, and then turn around and grab a shot of a toy Elvis dancing with the lunch lady. And trust me, you'll appreciate each of them for the brilliance that created them. Wild, diverse, amazing... I look forward to checking in on him every day.
  
  Rick is the man!"

  Robin Thom says:

  "Rick is Flickr friend and a better photographer than me.
  
  Unfortunately he is a desperate and deeply disturbed man
  trying to balance the onslaught of love
  from a devoted family
  with a long suppressed Juvenile Toy Trauma.
  
  JTT have allowed him to dominate me in The Unsafe.
  
  Please send him money,
  or if you must,
  toy parts."

  "Rick
  
  I have never have a chance to meet him without the internet & www.flickr.com
  
  He is a very kind & loving personality online. There is alots of bad experiences people have. But Rick is a great example of wanting to make Internet community trusted & honest place to network.
  
  His images are great & he is great to help me in a few of my groups as the co-admin.
  
  I appreciate your everything my friend...."
