Ritchey has received more than sixty awards for photographic excellence, including winning the prestigious “Expo III” national juried exhibition.  His photographs have been described as “definite yet yielding, detailed yet ethereal, subjective, emotional and profound.”  In his own words: “My energy is directed toward capturing the emotional impact of what I see.  I’m looking for the ‘soul’ of my subject, whether it is animate or inanimate.  What is important to me is the quintessential being, not the tangible reality, of whatever it is that I happen to be photographing.”
