About See Gettysburg
See Gettysburg is designed to showcase the
photography of Photographer Rick Anderson. I have been traveling
to Gettysburg since I was a small child and, over time, have
compiled a very extensive catalog of photographs. The landscape surrounding Gettysburg Pennsylvania is, in my
opinion, some of the most beautiful landscape found in the
eastern United States. Today, it is hard to imagine the horror
that these beautiful fields have witnessed. My aim is to capture and
document the beauty of this unique landscape. I sincerely hope
that my photography can help demonstrate the need to preserve
places such as Gettysburg and thus honoring the men who fought
so valiantly here.
About The Photographer
Rick
Anderson was born and raised in the Tidewater Region of
Southeastern Virginia. The eldest son of a civil war buff and
raised only an hours drive from Jamestown, history has been
central in my upbringing. My childhood is full of great
memories, including the time spent traveling with my parents and
brother. From the many day trips to Williamsburg, or a week
spent in Gettysburg, our travels always included a destination
with historical significance (very easy to do living in
Virginia). I chose Gettysburg as the theme of this project to
honor my parents, who taught my brother and I the value of
honoring and preserving places such as Gettysburg.
I began taking an interest in photography as a teenager to
document the many family outings. Over time my hobby has become
a passion, as I rarely leave home today without my camera bag
over my shoulder. Today, I reside in South Mills, North Carolina
with my wife and two children. If it were not for their devoted
love and patience on the days I leave home hours before sunrise
only to return hours after sunset, none of this would be
possible. If I can answer any questions please feel free to
contact me.
