Through a long and storied career devoted to the photo arts... Mr. Ritchie has amassed a collection of singular images rich in historical significance and timeless beauty. Formally trained as a Photo-Journalist, Rob attained a Bachelor of Fine & Applied Arts Degree from Central Michigan University. His professional experience was gained through employment at a number of highly regarded photo labs:

He attended seminars at Dun & Bradstreet, Padgett-Thompson and Kodak in the areas of: Photo Management, Employee Supervision & Motivation, and Advanced Photography Process Management.

The week of the 9/11 tragedy in New York, Mr. Ritchie retired. Now this widely regarded teacher and collector has released rare and unforgettable images depicting the American lifestyle... full of grace and energy. He remains to this day a respected enthusiast, and a devotee of this great medium of American Art... the photo image. These images allow us to glimpse the days of our past. These remarkable photographs are true treasures... they represent who we were.

Mr. Ritchie has chosen this time to share a few pieces of his collection, and it is with great joy that these historic images are offered to the discerning investor.

How lucky we are for this collection, this vision... of the past.

Sincerely,

Stephen Joseph Newman
