About

I am Richard. I was born in the U.S., but have lived overseas for most of my life. I have lived the United Arab Emirates, China, the Netherlands, and Jordan.

This lifestyle has helped me get more into photography because I got to see things that locals or other people might see as bland and turn them into something nice. I photograph most things that catch my eye. My photography includes my pets, the landscape of places, and such. It is also where I find myself most calm and able to focus on the present moment.

My Photography Journey

Photographing my life through images began when I received my first phone. Still, I always wanted to be able to capture more detail. When my grandfather passed away sadly in 2024, he gave me one of his most treasured items - his camera that my grandmother and my mom and her sister gave him on his 40th birthday. Here is a photo of my grandfather, who gave me the gift of capturing the beauty of the world I live in.

In 2025, my parents upgraded my camera lenses. I now use a variety of lenses, including the Nikon 24-70f/2.8, 12-24f/4, 50f/1.8, and 35f/1.8.
