"Richard is an extremely resourceful and creative force. When he was in Rhode Island doing a photo trek in the city of Providence, we had a group of trekkers shooting our city's multi-scensory WaterFire exhibit. The artistic show featuring more than 100 fires along our riverfront, and is a visually spectacular experience. Richard got the great idea of shooting the row of fires from up above, and decided that what they needed was a cherry picker to capture the view from a more interesting vantage point. On a Saturday night, during an event that draws more than 40,000 people to Rhode Island's Capital City, and involves lots of cooperative fire and police details, Richard decided to call the head of the Providence Fire Department and see if he could get that cherry picker. An hour or so later, I shook my head in disbelief as the cherry picker arrived and our group of trekkers got a great bird's eye view of the show.  He's creative and adventurous.... maybe even a little bit crazy, but above all he makes it happen!"

"During my 20 years in the motion picture business I have worked with numerous stars, But I was still starstuck on My first Phototrek with Richard. Not only did I get expierences with Photographers Jill Enfield, Barbra Kinney, and Joe McNalley. Richard threw in Award –winning Author Frank McCourt to give his stories and Yarns of our destination for that trek, Ireland. That trip got me hooked on Richards treks, I know the talent and planning will be as first rate as the destination. I will follow Richard to the end of the earth, which I have already done. And will continue to support his Ideas and passions."

"I have always appreciated Richard for his energy, creativity, and leadership qualities when leading a group of amateur photographers in a photography workshop.  He shows great skill in selecting staff and instructors to get the job done at these workshops, which take place all around the globe. Fearlessly leading a troop of armed and poised photographers, cameras at the ready, stalking photo prey, is not an easy task. Richard always has time for everyone and easily shares his quick and easy sense of humor with one and all."
