Hello to my visitors. My Flickr photoblog is part gallery and part archive. Take the time to visit some of my sets and get to know my eye better. For a broad overview of my images go to fiveprime.org/hivemind/User/ricksoloway. I was the President of the Western Photographic Historical Society in 2008, and a co-presenter at the Photohistory XIII meeting in 2006 at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY. I collect cameras, photographica and images. I contribute most of my camera images to Camera-wiki. I write and enjoy researching articles on photohistory. I'm the Admin for a flickr group I've started called "Photo Trouvée" dedicated to found and vintage photos. I'm also the Admin for a new flickr group devoted to American Modernist Walter Dorwin Teague (1883-1960) at: www.flickr.com/groups/walterdorwinteague/. I go to dim sum every weekend. I like my coffee with cream and sugar. Smoker. Photographer. Graphic artist. MC rider. Brother. Son. Husband. Father. Please DO NOT POST flashing awards, glittery icons, parasitic links etc.. If you are a blank faced avatar, have no original photos to share, or are too creepy I will NOT add you as a friend or contact. If you are interested in hiring me, or buying a print contact me through my website www.ricksoloway.com or write to my flickr mail..

AtypicalArt says:
"Rick is a true talent when it comes to taking pictures and a bountiful source of knowledge when it comes to talking about them or the equipment that made them. His photostream is always packed full of the "good stuff" and is a real treat to follow. I especially appreciate Rick's eye for vintage images as he seems to have a unique gift for separating the wheat from the chaff."

"I have joined Flickr and several ''Photographica'' Groups just a few months ago but in such a short period of time I had the chance to ''meet'' in this wide, wide community very nice people, fantastic photographers, classic cameras lovers and collectors. Rick is in this group of ''friends'' one of my favourites. He has a great knowledge of classic cameras, being collector himself, he is a very very good photographer (not only in his Classic Cameras sections) and in more than one occasion I have been influenced in my choices, as far as cameras collection is concerned, just admiring some of Rick's shots in his super antique cameras galleries. So I have thought to write this short 'testimonial' for Rick, who has already a lot of friends and fans here, to thank him because through his galleries, his articles and nice suggestions I have improved for sure my knowledges, my collection and increased my passion for these fantastic, lovely ''old cameras''.
Thanks Rick!!!!!"6th March, 2010

"Rick is the dynamic Professor of Flickr Photograghy. He has collections ranging from antique photos and cameras, everyday life around Phoenix, studio subjects,and even atomic bombs. His personal art creations include a twist of sublime. If you take the time to post a comment on any of his items, he responds. Very cool!"

"I'm not an artist, nor am I any great judge of what is or what isn't a great photo. What I do know is I find Rick's images inimitable and captivating. In addition to this - I've found Rick to be an invaluable source of knowledge on all aspects of photography and a generous person with his time and a preparedness to counsel the technically challenged.
Cheers Rick!"27th February, 2009

"This is a place I come to get raw energy to be inspired and creative. I like the bold colors and subjects of his illustrations and the way he combines symbols, makes use of contrast and effective imagery to create a photograph that will stop you in your tracks to analize it. That is a great skill!"

"During one of my many flickr surfing expeditions I felt like Columbus when I discovered Rick's work!
I am a fond lover of Rick's Frankenfoto set and first thought...It would make a wonderful card collector set!
My second thought....How I would love to work with Rick and create
a Frankepuddin set!
Your work is original Rick...your words articulate...and your true passion for people shines through the way you capture the general public in your travels!

"Rick sees things, that others don't see and wouldn't notice.
His eyes and camera capture images that I take for granted.
His inventiveness in creating new images are super!
His Black and Whites are fantastic!
His color photo's look great!
His women photos are hot!
He's got what it takes.
I envy his talent.

"What I like most about Ricks work is the way my eye feels travelling around his images. One moment I am looking at concrete, the next moment, a beautiful woman. He has a diverse and broad scope-His balck and white work is lovely-Rick is a real gem to the flickr community-
