Why I Create - PicsbyRicks

An outdoor explorer dressed in summer shorts and a blue shirt stands on a cliff admiring unique towering desert rock formations at sunrise in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah — Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, contains over 2,000 natural stone arches. At sunrise, light magically dances over the unique rock formations!

My passion is to bring the beauty of the world to people who may not otherwise be able to see and experience it in person. My online outdoor community is founded not only around a shared love of nature and photography, but also on a shared love of people!

The Beauty of Photography is that a picture can create different feelings depending on who views it!

In a Child, a picture may be the first glimpse of nature and the catalyst to make the child want to know more about the world.

In an Older Person, it has the ability to bring back memories of an earlier time, to re-create the happiness that was experienced in personal journeys, and to evoke precious memories of taking in the views of spectacular landmarks that were only made more special by the love shared with the person standing nearby.

To Me, it is a tool to add just a little more positivity to someone’s day!
