RICHARD CARTER RUSSELL
Richard Carter Russell of Florence passed peacefully
in Vancouver, Wash., on Wednesday, February 17. 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.
