Documentary Portraits: Retrospective PDF
Documentary Portraits: Retrospective PDF
An electronic PDF coffee table book featuring a retrospective of images from Rick’s career as a documentary photographer serving missionary agencies and major Christian organizations throughout Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central and North America. Each of the 45 compelling black and white images is accompanied by the story behind the image—Rick’s perspective and insight on what was taking place in the field and in his mind.
I loved your retrospective! I was in in tears by the end of the forward. I've reread the book multiple times. It works on many levels, first, as a revealing portrait of human nature that calls out global truths about our individual capacities to inflict harm, endure suffering, experience joy, and spread happiness. We are all so different, and yet so much the same. At the other end of the spectrum it works on an intensely personal scale, a deep reflection of who I suspect you are as a person and how you experience the world around you. It is an important gift for your family, your friends, your community, and those photographers, explorers, and citizens of the world that will follow in your footsteps—and those who may not have the opportunity, but would benefit from doing so.
