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.
