PHOTOGRAPHY

Activism, Nature, City Life or Studio Shots

ACTIVISM

Rick has been involved in launching and leading major activist organizations in Michigan, including MACC, Michigan’s ASA Chapter, MINORML and both the MILegalize & Repeal Today campaigns.

NATURE

Thompson’s nature photography is stunning, and many of his images are for sale!

CITY LIFE

Urban scenes can be some of the most stark to photograph, and it takes a real eye to discern the mundane from the magical.

STUDIO SHOTS

From product shots to marijuana glamour shots, the studio always seems to produce excellent images when Thompson is on the camera.

Testimonials

ABOUT RICK THOMPSON: “I’VE KNOWN RICK SINCE 2008. I CAN ONLY SAY THAT HE HAS GIVEN COUNTLESS HOURS TO UNPAID ACTIVISM. HE IS INFORMED AND PASSIONATE.” – MALCOLM MACKINNON

Malcolm Mackinnon

former editor in chief, High Times Magazine

“The intent of the initiative was to enable patients to utilize medical marijuana. So, if there are any gray areas in the law, they have to be decided in favor of patient’s rights, not in favor of what’s easiest for law enforcement, or what might contribute to their forfeiture funds.”

Rick Thompson

CBS Radio interview, 2010

“His very successful Bridge Walk (blog) became an article which now is on the FEATURED section of Google News, above articles from CNN, the Wall Street Journal, the NY Times, PBS, and Fox News. It was reproduced in Patch outlets across the state and is featured in at least four other states (that I can find right now). This MINORML activity has blossomed beyond our state borders. We are inspiring others to do greater things by showing them the way.”
