Reviews of Aerial Acrobats . . .
"Birds aren't frozen in place like a magic trick that you know isn't real. There's no deception. These birds are living in the air as we live on the ground. They eat and preen, seduce and fight, without making that fatal Wile E. Coyote mistake of looking down and realizing that what they do is impossible.
Rick's pictures make me think that birds don't give a lot of thought to the empty spaces they fill. They're too busy with life. Living between branches and fence posts and power lines, speed walking on air, taking care of business. His lens captures flight with the precision of a diamond cutter removing just enough to reveal the true stone."
— Mark Heath, - cartoonist extraordinaire
"What a stunningly beautiful book."
— Anca Vlasopolos (Author of "The New Bedford Samurai")
"These images capture life on the wing in a way that is unexpected and illuminating."
— Anne Harris (Author of "Inventing Memory")
From the forward by Kathe Koja:
"Because they are so lovely, and seem so fragile -- they *are* fragile -- we tend to think of birds as delicate creatures, literally above the fray of the earthbound existence the rest of us live. But in these photographs, we can see the bird's-eye view for what it is, and how tough and resilient these animals are, and have to be."
