ABOUT ME

Ricky is the name and photography is the game. I was born in Mexico but have been living most of my life here in the USA. I'm currently a college student eager to learn, explore, and experiment. Im just another human being, very peaceful and ready to have some fun. I live my life in a "dont worry be happy" kind of way, the way i see it, you only live once so you better live it full of love and happiness. I love to try new things and have an open mind about anything. Traveling the world, meeting new people, and experiencing everything it has to offer is my top and only thing in my bucket list.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is simple, people just make it hard for themselves.
"Don't worry about a thing because every single thing will be alright." -Bob Marley
"Love when you got b/c you might get ran over or you might get shot" - Sublime

Live, Love, Laugh

Interests

My favorite thing to do is to shoot some pictures of nature. Photography is one of the few things that makes me loose track of time and takes me to a different world. Next to that is reading a good book such as "The Last Symbol" or "The Girl who kicked the hornet's nest."
and Of course, outdoor activities is a must. from playing a good game of freesbee or soccer, to just a simple walk in the woods. the outdoors makes everything better and much interesting.
