Who Is Effigy
Effigy Photography started from two passions and talents God has blessed me with, wood-working and photography. Since around the age of thirteen I have unknowingly suffered from a mental illness. It wasn't until later in life that I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by recurring episodes of mood disorder and psychosis. Distortions in perception alternate with and occur simultaneously with elevated or depressed mood. These perceptual disortions may affect all five senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction.
I have had moments in my life were I have been able to function on a healthy level those included times when I was able to express myself in a creative medium along with medication and therapy. Thats were Effigy came from, my abilities in wood working and photography. Many of these photo's are a direct reflection of what I am seeing and feeling at the time they were taken I hope you find them as therapeutic as I have. Also I am in the process of designing custom frames for some of my favorite prints and hope to have them for sale soon. Each one will be available matted framed signed and numbered in the new future. If interested please contact me at effigyphoto@gmx.com. and May God Bless You, Rick
