(From the dust jacket of Orange Sherbet And Hot Chocolate, a book of poetry)
'Richard Gordon is a poet-playwright living in Lake Elsinore, California. He is the author of Martin and The Mountaintop: An illustrated Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. His play Bulldog and the Bear, won the coveted Lorraine Hansberry and the Michale Kanin playwriting awards. For the last twelve years of his teaching career, Mr. Gordon taught Oral Interpretation at California State University at Fullerton.
The Joy of life… the Joy of people… has always been the underlying themes of his work. For the past 30 years Richard has been writing… not as a “writer” per se, but as a husband, celebrating his wife, and as a father lifting his children in song… and now as a grandfather soaring with his grandkids.'
I have been “taking pictures” all my life. I have never considered myself a photographer per se, but a person who truly loves to create… and photography has been one avenue of that pursuit. I love the digital camera, and photoshop was invented for me. I think it is a most wonderful tool.
I am at a stage in my life when I ask: Why do I create?” Well, the answer becomes clearer every day. I create because I have a great desire to share my sensibilities with the world. Joy is what I seek to share most.
