When asked about his photo specialty, Rick says, "My specialty is not specializing".
"I shoot only Raw files and always select the lowest possible ISO setting for one simple reason: I want the sharpest, cleanest, most detailed possible image. That goes for my enlargements, too! That's why I use Genuine Fractals when upsizing my files for fine art prints: no loss of the detail that I've worked so hard to capture."
