| Comments about Wild Light | |
| “The pictures are beautiful, and I think they capture an important aspect of reality.” – - [ Vernor Vinge ] |
“Oh. My. God. You should see the amazing insect shots by Rick Lieder. I’ve never seen bugs with personalities before, except in animated movies.” |
| “I just visited your crystalline parallel universe. You’ve shown these creatures, not as magnified monsters, but as delicate and tiny creatures poised within luminous and abstract spaces. Good luck in your rapturous adventure.” | “Some of the most artistic photography of insects you can find.” |
| “It is like entering the world of the bug – as a bug!!!” | “I went to visit your show at the gallery in the Detroit Zoo. I stayed a long time. Your pictures are beautiful. I circled around to look at them again and again. And sat in the quiet and looked some more.” |
| “These look more like an epic sci-fi movie’s concept art than photos taken in someones backyard.” | “Out of all the insect artwork I’ve seen, your style certainly stands out. So many people forget that the heart of science is poetry.” – - [ Ted Snyder - Entomologist ] |
| “I can only look in wonder. His larger than life-sized images pull you into their oft unseen realm.” | “Amazing macro-photographs by Rick Lieder take us on a spectacular travelogue tour of the world underfoot, the world where dew-drops are the size of melons, the blades of grass loom high overhead and where every neighbour seems stranger than the next.” |
| “Rick Lieder doesn’t find it necessary to prowl the forests of the earth, his world is only a few steps beyond his door. This photographer has more than a great eye, he has patience. His method is to set up where he knows the action will be, then just wait. For the subject, for the light, and trickier yet – from what I see – the pose.” – - [ Fred Wickham ] |
“Your work is absolutely stunning. I’ve loved birds and bird art ever since I was a child and your photos of backyard birds in flight elevate these humble avians to the lofty level of raptors or exotic parrots, which is where they belong.” – - [ Alexandra Highcrest] |
