About Richard Krigstein

Richard Krigstein My Dad took this photo of me when I was three years' old, when we lived on Breeze Avenue in Venice, California. My Dad had a simple camera, but he had an eye for capturing the moment. My Dad bought me a Kodak Brownie for one of my birthdays, and I've been snapping away ever since. I work to create beautiful images that not only give different perspectives on the world around us, but capture the moment as well.

I have lived in some beautiful places, my current home being in the small town of Sharon, Massachusetts. Previously, I lived in Sonoma County, California, and Boulder, Colorado.

One of my favorite subjects is clouds, whether they are central to the image, or supporting actors. Clouds have a short, ephemeral life of their own. They are born, change, sometimes combine with other clouds, and then fade away. In some ways, they are atmospheric metaphors for human beings. I could watch them all day.

Some of the best places I have found for cloud photography are: Colorado; the Sierras; South Dakota; the Faroe Islands; the Andes; and at 30,000 feet in a jet airliner.

One of the most challenging photographic subjects for me are big old trees, such as the old Oaks that populate Northern California in abundance. It is difficult to do these old trees justice, to capture their details and scale at the same time. Another challenge in photographing these old, gnarly trees is capturing the serpentine growth of the branches in a two-dimensional format. Seeking challenges like this are what keeps me growing as an artist.

I have shown my work in the Riverfront Art Gallery in Petaluma, CA: the Cutter Gallery in Arlington, MA; and will be showing at the Plymouth Center for Arts in Plymouth, MA.
