I've been a photographer for a long time. I like to shoot straight ahead classical B&W images. I like to use various filters and brushes to turn an image into something quite different from is original state. I like to make photomontages. My interests are wide ranging but always aimed at one thing -- making beautiful prints. 

The images that you see here are the covers of three magazine style portfolios I have published through www.blurb.com/user/richardchase/. You can see the contents of these three, as well as other works I have published. Some of the images in my space will come from my publications, others will be new.
