Richard Krol was born in Groton, Connecticut but has been a resident of Greensboro, North Carolina for most of his life, except for short period in the US Navy. In the Navy he maintained torpedo weapons systems on submarines as a Fire Control Technician. Richard now works for Hanes Brands Inc in Winston-Salem, North Carolina as a Computer Support Analyst and does freelance photography on the side.
Richard was first exposed to photography over thirty years ago when he tagged along with his father who was taking a photography course in Virginia Beach, VA. He was given an old 35mm and wandered around that summer snapping pictures of ducks, fish, and assorted lake life. During this period he learned about film developing and printing.
In high school he received his first 35 mm that was his own and used it to document organizations in which he was involved. That camera was the PENTAX K1000 which he still has among his cameras.
With the advent of the digital age of photography Richard experimented with point and shoot digital cameras. These cameras did not give the freedom of creativity that a SLR provided. With the release of the PENTAX *ist D family he finally had his Digital SLR. When the PENTAX K10D came out Richard was able to incorporate his older lenses and continue his use of PENTAX products.
Richard has participated in several small group showings in Greensboro, most recently at The Space (thespace340.com) (www.myspace.com/thespace340) on Tate Street. He also assists The Space by taking photos when requested. Locally he has provided photography for print ads, for display in restaurants, and for local bands. Richard has also sold images in several countries via the Internet.
Richard comes from a family that has a long history of producing artists and craftsmen, with a family tree that can be traced back on one side to the artisans of the Royal Courts of Austria. His first cousin once removed is the esteemed Austrian soprano Wilma Lipp. He is not formally trained in the arts but grew up in a family that works in interior design, metalworking, painting, stained glass, woodworking, photography, and computers. What he lacks in training, he makes up for with the desire to create.
