- Richard Crumb
"Richard (Dick) Crumb grew up on a family ""Century Farm"" in southern Minnesota. Dick was severely injured in an accident over forty years ago and has been propelling himself via a wheelchair ever since. Dick loves to travel and as part of his travel experiences, he enjoys capturing some of the delightful scenes of God's wondrous creation (the work of His hands) through his camera lens. Dick's rural upbringing often expresses itself in the pastoral scenes he captures with his trusty camera. Dick's disability allows him to perhaps see things slightly differently through his camera lens, with an eye towards the freedom nature suggests, rather than physical limitations we all experience every day. Penny Niemi's poem ""Farm Island Anthology"" inspired Dick's photography with her references to the ""farm islands"" (with the ubiquitous barns) scattered throughout the prairieland of southern Minnesota, and the ""promises"" that the rich fertile farmland provides to present and future generations."
