I make pottery. Lots and lots of pottery. I figured out that this is what I'm supposed to do when I grow up.
Oh, and some times I like to go fishing.
Music
I listen to a lot of classical.
They say classical music can make you a little bit smarter, but you already knew that.
That’s a quote from the classical channel for those of you that are not in the know.
Movies
yes, I do like movies.
Television
I do my best to stay away from it, and my best is pretty good.
Books
I read a lot. So much so that some people think I read too much. I can't stop learning. I love to learn. Some people may say, "That’s dumb. Why are you always reading books and learning? That’s so stupid." I love the people who say things like this. They help me learn.
Heroes
Jesus. My Mom and Dad and my Brother. Abe Cohn the father of Door county pottery. Bryan Becker who allowed me to develop my skills by doing production at his studio/gallery - Bryan Becker Clay Werks - . Mr. Schrupp my high school ceramics teacher.

Who I'd like to meet:
Creative artists of all kinds; glass blowers, potters, sculptors, photographers, people who want to buy my pottery.
I made my first video slideshow and wanted to share it with you. The musician (Elizabeth Ann Middleton) is one I found through MySpace, and she generously let me use her music to set to my images. Visit her MySpace page here - http://www.myspace.com/pianorama - she's fantastic! :-)
Wild Butterflies of Florida from Rich Leighton on Vimeo.
Spring is here and so are the butterflies! This week I have a gallery of a particular group of butterflies called Brushfoots. Brushfoots are the most commonly known and encountered of the large colorful butterflies (excluding the swallowtails) found in Florida and the Americas. These include the monarchs, fritillaries, buckeyes, and the viceroy below (who has nearly identical markings as the toxic monarch butterfly) to keep it from being eaten by birds.... cool trick, huh? :-)
Click the butterfly below to see my gallery - and please let me know what you think!
Just want to say hi and I really dig your page and the vibe it displays. Would like to get to know you better in the future. Please check out my video:
