Announcement
Thanks for visiting my Etsy shop. I’ve been in love with photography since I was a teenager, taking photos with an old Rollieflex camera my dad brought home from Germany. My goal is to take photos that inspire the love of nature, travel and wildlife. I love capturing a moment in time and space.
I never had confidence that my photography could be more than a passion, so I spent a lifetime in the corporate world. I took a risk and joined a photographers group who encouraged me to put my photos up for sale. Even though I was insecure, I uploaded my best images hoping someone would buy them.
I’ll never forget the first time someone I didn't know purchased one of my photos, of Yosemite in the winter. I remember driving over snowy roads to Yosemite in winter. Up an hour before dawn, I ventured out in the icy cold. My fingers were freezing. With the scent of pine, I see the waterfall across the valley, snow piling at the bottom. I sure could use a hot cup of coffee. As the sky lightened, I clicked the shutter. I got the shot. And that’s the image I sold!
Since that first sale, I’ve sold dozens more to people all over the world. It brings me such great joy to think of my artwork in other people’s spaces. I love it when someone sends me a picture of my photo hanging on their wall. And I’m totally in it for that feeling.
Please follow my shop so you can see new images as I post them. And please, tell your friends!

5 out of 5 starsRichard's photos are amazing and delivered promptly. I had to order this one twice, because I damaged it on transport to the framer. Each time, Richard got the image to me quickly and in perfect condition.

5 out of 5 starsRichard’s photos are magical. He is very skilled and has an almost poetic sensibility in what he captures. I love the moment he captured between the two elephants, which is so universal that we can all relate. I’m a fan!
