About the Artist: 
Rick Reda has been a photographer for over fifty years.  Specializing in landscapes and wildlife, he has traveled from Alaska to Antarctica to Africa.  He started with a makeshift darkroom set up in the bathroom of a two-bedroom apartment in Detroit, developing and producing color prints.  This was a bit more complicated than it sounds, since he was living in this apartment with his wife and four children.  Fortunately, his in-laws lived in the next complex, so when the children began whining about needing to use the bathroom, he had someplace to send them.

Within a few short years, his photographs were on display in the Trimpe Gallery in Detroit.  Over the years he has transitioned from film photography to digital photography.  He currently has work displayed in The Loft Gallery, in Occoquan, VA, and in several private collections across the United States and in Europe.
