Rick has always been fascinated with extremes, and that fascination has carried over in his photographs as well. "I was intrigued with shooting multiple exposures, whether it be buildings, people, or the moon." Tri-Colour and close-up photography was another area where Rick experimented, using various lighting, filters and lenses.
Rick achieved success in Video as well. Establishing himself with corporate clients including IBM and Sprint. Rick also video taped weddings and special events in and around the Tri-State area. In 1993, Rick became house photographer for Denim & Diamonds, a Country Western Club, located in Mid -Town Manhattan.
