I really felt compelled to leave Phillip Ritchie not only the highest of compliments when it comes to his artistry, but also as a teacher. There is no way that I would be the photographer I am today if not for his direction. He has now become an amazing friend that continues to inspire me with his work. Any photographer wanting to step into the pro arena really needs to contact him. Thank you Phillip for helping me to get to where I am. Gary
