Much of my time is spent combining two of my passions - travel and photography.  Travel photography provides a record of my experiences and brings back many great memories from the beautiful places I have visited. 

I find myself attracted to colors - especially blue skies by day and night, and abstractions - particularly patterns, both natural and man-made.  I enjoy the visual experience that color photography provides. 

My recent focus has been on a series of "nocturnes" - night photography using both film and digital image capture.  Lighting of the subject may be from a full moon, colored flashlights, street lights or any combination of light sources.  The results are sometimes serendipitous, capturing often-photographed subjects and locations in an exciting new light. 

My files contain thousands of stock photography images - cities, national parks and popular travel destinations.  Additional images can be viewed through links on my website at www.rskidmore.com .  All images are available as archival fine art prints, matted to standard frame sizes.  Inquiries regarding availability of images from specific locations should be directed to info@rskidmore.com .  One-time rights are available for editorial or commercial use. 

Select matted prints are available for viewing or purchase at:
