About
March 19, 2024
Welcome to my site.
I was born in Ottawa Canada on September 5th 1958 and I love my hometown because I seperate it from the politics. It's a great city with wonderful people. Much like the rest of Canada.
On October 13th of last year, I became a free man. After decades of working minimum wage jobs, most of which I hated, across many small towns just so I could do photography, I was able to retire. Maybe now I can be a photographer?
It's been over 40 years of taking photographs, some exhibited, some published and some sold. Some even copied. Although right now you see just faces, my photographs extend also to many other areas.
I have taught but mostly learned and loved my real passion, photography.
It's funny how a simple tool such as a camera can open up an entire universe. I have my former wife to thank for that. To me, if there's a God, I think that he reveals himself the most when I have a camera in my hands.
It's been since the start of covid that I've photographed and it's time to get back to it. I don't expect anyone to like or even understand what I do. What I post here, I love. At the end of the day, if you can look ( ideally not on a phone ) then I'm a happy camper. I don't believe for a second anyone who claims that they photograph things but have no desire to share it.
So that's about it for now. I hope that you find something interesting here.
All the best,
Rick Carroll
