My name is John Charles Ricker. I am an artist, writer, speaker, and thinker who lives in Minneapolis.
This blog will evolve as I explore this medium of expression, but I expect it will always contain my photography and art. Some of the art will be straightforward, but over half of it will play with one's perception.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The gulls at lake superior make excellent photo subjects. I learned more about high-speed and wildlife photography from them than I learned from any other source. When I realized that I had captured the shadow of this gulls beak on its wing I was overjoyed. Sometimes the best photographs are the ones where you capture something you didn’t even see before you released the shutter.
