John Ritchie
New and exciting things are happening in our profession and I am so happy to be a part of it. Having joined the Professional Photographers Guild of Florida, Professional Photographers of America and Florida Professional Photographers, my education has just jumped expo nentially as I venture into the world of digital photography and artistic endeavors. Just when I thought I would be winding down, I am newly energized, and grabbing at all the new educational opportunities available to me. Entering the competitions for the first time ever, I have been pleased to be awarded one of the Top Ten Photographers of the Year for the years 2006 and 2007 (PPGF) and second place overall for 2008. Our newest offerings will be painted photographs in various styles. The Traditional Hand-colored Oils on B&W as well as water color, oil, chalk, and all artistic media are yours to enjoy.

Thirty years ago I began to photograph the things closest to my heart; weddings, children, families, babies, and happy events. Today I have added many areas including the artistic interpretation of these subjects. We are no longer limited to what the film can record, and are open to all the possibilities one can imagine.
