Rick Perkins Information
I've always been fascinated with photography. The idea that a person can use this device called a camera and freeze a moment in time forever is amazing to me.
Light, shapes, shadows, lines, and texture are the things I look for most when exploring photo opportunities. I started drawing the things I saw in the world on a sketch pad when I was very young so, in a way, I think I was interpreting the things I saw. The difference now is the camera is the tool I use to do that. A profound moment for myself was the discovery that I could basically paint with light using the camera. That revelation for me, has changed everything, from the way I shoot, what subjects I look for, and even my camera settings. I hope you enjoy my photographs as much as I did creating them.
