A tireless, prolific and inspirational image-maker, Rick, called by some “The Godfather of Photography” is one of the most active photographers on the planet; dividing his time between creating images, leading photo workshops, and making personal appearances. Rick’s enthusiasm for digital imaging is contagious. He is a man on a mission - a mission to make digital photography fun, creative, exciting and rewarding for others.
"I picked this image as the winner for several reasons. First, the photographer, using a slow shutter speed, captured the beauty of the geyser. Second, it was taken by moonlight, with the photographer shooting into the moon. Third, the stars are a beautiful touch to the image. Fourth, I just love the mood and feeling of the image, which is the most important element in a photograph." - Rick Sammon
"I like the shallow depth-of- field the photographer used to make the bison in the foreground stand out in the frame. I like the eye-to- eye shooting level, which is something I recommend to my workshop students if they want the viewer of their photograph to relate to the subject. And, I know it’s cold there in winter, so my hat – and scarf and gloves – are off to the photographer." - Rick Sammon
