RICHARD D. PINKERTON El Cerrito, CA 94530 I ARTISTIC SKILLS Portrait Photography Nature Photography Architectural Photography ARTISTIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS Photographed album cover for William Ackerman’s 1978 album produced by Windham Hill Records. Worked as a wedding and portrait photographer based in Palo Alto, CA during 1970’s and early 1980’s. ARTIST STATEMENT I am excited about showing my work at the El Cerrito City Hall. My concept for this show is California: People, Places and Things. Enclosed is a sample of my work that is a partial collection of photos I would like to display. I was born in and moved to northern California in 1974. Over the last 40 years, I have taken photos of this incredible place and expanded my range as an artist. I have experimented with filter effects, double exposure and the play of light. I have worked extensively with portrait photography. In portrait photography, I have attempted to capture the humanity of a person in a particular moment. Documenting the beauty of nature has also been an inspiration. I have worked to capture the geography and vitality of California. The enclosed photos have been taken over the years that I have lived in California and showcase the unique scenery and incredible people. The enclosed photos are a sample of my work, and I have additional images that can be added. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK---
