His wife Robyn Russell and son Jesse Russell were at his side during his extended and wrenching journey to the other side. Richard was born in Hibbing, Minn., on January 20, 1945. His family moved to California when Richard was a teenager. He served in the United States Navy from 1960-64 with a job assignment as a Navy photo lab technician where he learned the basics of darkroom skills, such as developing and enlarging i lm negatives. In the mid-sixties he lived in Los Angeles doing independent work in photographic labs, as well as a formal study of photography at h e Los Angeles Art Center. His informal studies include 40 years of trial and error. Photography was a passion throughout Richard’s life. He preferred working in black & white, creating documentary-style photographs with a focus on the human condition. Over the past 40 years his work has been shown in gallery venues up and down the West Coast from Los Angeles to Seattle, and many of his works are now in various private and public collections. Richard’s photographs were always powerful and emotional just like the man himself. His signature photo, a self-portrait of the artist walking away from the camera along railroad tracks in Vancouver, Wash., was by no coincidence shot in the very same town where he passed away in a hospice facility. Richard was a member of Photo Zone, a i ne art co-op based in Eugene, Ore., and his self-portrait photo was chosen as the poster for the movie “What Just Happened,” starring Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn. h is is his Artist Statement: “My passion has always been the human condition. I like to think that I go where nobody else wants to go, can’t go, will not go, or is afraid to go, and bring those realities to people at large. Photography is the vehicle I choose in my attempt to bring these images home. I basically consider myself a documentary and portrait photographer. I believe my camera is the best tool in the recording of time.” Richard was an avid reader and a well-known denizen of the Florence Library’s non-i ction and biography stacks. He also was a music lover and Artist’s self-portrait. ai cionado of blues history, as well as a major fan and historian of Oregon’s blues scene. He loved Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones and held a seemingly endless knowledge of rock music and the musicians who peopled its history. Everybody who knew Richard or met him on Florence’s Bay Street saw that he was a storyteller par excellence. h e rise of cell phones and social media irritated him no end because it caused people to stop talking to each other and sharing their opinions and thoughts, stories and histories in traditional conversations. He had a cell phone but disdained learning to use it. Listening to Richard tell tall tails, recall nefarious adventures, spin his yarns, embroider the truth, spout of , and generally provide all of us with endless free entertainment was a beautiful thing and will be sorely missed. A lot of people in Florence have been inl uenced by Richard’s ideas and his carryings-on at all the bars. Many also will remember Richard as a chef who worked in restaurants around Florence for many years. He was a great dancer. And he was damned good-looking. Richard loved life and created many friendships during his lifetime. Some of those friends were important to him throughout his adult life. He believed that “friendships should be nurtured,” and made ef orts to do that as he went along his way. Richard is survived by his wife, Robyn Russell of Morro Bay, Calif.; his son Jesse Russell of Bend, Ore.; sister Gail Hay of Olympia, Wash. and niece Georgia Nelson of Florence, Ore. He was preceded in death by his father, George Carter Russell; his mother Audrey Elaine Russell; and a brother, Nick Russell of Grants Pass, Ore. A memorial will be held in Florence this spring; the date will be announced. If you wish, please make a donation in his name to the Florence Library.
