American artist and photographer Rich Rinehart seeks out the extraordinary.   Using predominantly his medium Format Pentax 6x7 camera, the night and light are his friends.   "I am a colorist and seek out to highlight color contrasts in most of my works".   He is also a symphonic composer and alternative pop music artist where he applies the same vision   "...I really don't care for much classical music, with the few pieces I like being 20th century works.  I am a colorist.   My main symphonic influences are Ravel, Stravinsky, Martinu, and of course Nine Inch Nails...."   Rich concludes: "I think one of the most important realities of successful creativity, is just forcing yourself to see your project or idea through to completion".   And with that, welcome to his photographic work.

(Rich will include a music cd from his band "Almost Huemon" with each purchase)

This nighttime exposure is fom Cleveland Flat's underbelly. It's a view most have never seen as it is taken from the famed Whiskey Island, a hard to reach post-industrial area immediately to the west and north of downtown. The treasures at whiskey island are many, a pock of land totally untamed and wild and unbelievably close to downtown. City planners would like to move Cleveland's Port Authority docks there, but to do that would be such a waste of Cleveland's valuable, albeit secret asset.
