Growing up in the suburbs of Washington D.C., Rick first became interested in photography as an early teenager experimenting with the family Polaroid camera. He very quickly discovered that he naturally viewed the world on a much smaller scale, taking pictures of, and interacting with the details in life. Soon after, he studied black and white photography for several years during high school. He then went on to study photography at the university level, ultimately obtaining a bachelor degree in English Literature.

Specializing in fractions, abstractions, slices of experiences, Rick views the minute pieces as opposed to “the whole”. His images are evocative typically possessing a strong sense of contrast, texture, and reflection. He encourages and urges the viewer to slow down, re-examine the composition, reconsider what has been seen and emotionally connect. His images usher the viewer into a place that is abstract yet strangely familiar. He uses the camera, not as a mere mirror to reflect or document, but more as an extension of himself through which he can channel feelings, ideas, and experiences.

SEMA 2009











SEMA started in 1963 with a handful of manufacturers of performance equipment for hot rods providing a way to network, organize, and exchange ideas. SEMA, now the Specialty Equipment Market Association, is held each fall in Las Vegas, Nevada and has become the exclusive insiders automotive specialty products trade show. It showcases custom builders/fabricators, specialty tools, equipment, services, and products for the automotive market. Since Meguiar's is one of the exhibitors, and since I work for Meguiar's, I was once again given the opportunity to attend and work this industry show the first week of November. There are always plenty of gorgeous cars built by extremely talented people. In the Meguiar's booth we had a beautiful 1957 Chevy Pickup built by Rodger Lee out of Bakersfield, CA, and an amazing 1966 Chevy Chevelle built by Josh Nilson out of Layton, UT.
