Hi, I’m Rick Lambert. I invite you into an amazing world as viewed through my eyes and captured by my camera. I consider a good day of photography any day I obtain even one photograph of outstanding quality that speaks to me and makes me smile. My hope is that my photography makes you smile, too!
I love nature, so attempting to capture a small expression of its wonder to share with others is one of my greatest pleasures. I enjoy photographing landscapes, flowers, and wildlife because of the diversity—the cornucopia of color and texture, and the amazing beauty of God’s creation. Someone recently asked, when viewing one of my photos on canvas, if I had painted it? I replied, “No, God painted it, I just took a picture of it!” I like to find unusual angles, close-ups, and revealing views that most people never get to see.
Much of my work was captured on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where my wife and I have vacationed for many years. I love Kauai because of its natural beauty and non-commercialism. Just being on this island, breathing its clean ocean air and experiencing nature gone wild, inspires me and my photography. The views are breathtaking, the flora striking, and the grandeur profound. I also love the people, the music, and the food! I hope my photographs will express some of their Aloha to you, and make you smile!
How many are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small. Psalm 104:24-25
