Doug Rickard (1968) is a north American artist / photographer.〔Critics are divided on whether to consider him an artist or a photographer. Rickard describes himself as "an artist working with digital technologies".〕 He uses technologies such as Google Street View and YouTube to find images, which he then photographs on his monitor, to create series of work that have been published in books, exhibited in galleries and held in the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate = 8 November 2015 )〕 Rickard is best known for his book ''A New American Picture'' (2010). He is founder and publisher of the website on contemporary photography, ''American Suburb X,'' and the website ''These Americans'' which publishes some of his collection of found photographs. ==Life and work== Rickard was born in San Jose, California and brought up in Los Gatos in the San Francisco Bay Area. His father was a prominent pastor and many family members were preachers and missionaries, with a "very Reaganesque, patriotic view of America", a country "special and unique". Rickard studied United States history — slavery, civil rights — and sociology, at University of California, San Diego, and "lost his faith in this family vision. His adult view of America was a land not just of great achievement but also of massive injustice."〔 At age 12 he witnessed his father having a secret extramarital affair, that years later in 1988 he confessed to his congregation. Rickard says this experience prompted him "to look for the fault lines in the American dream."〔 He Lives in Shingle Springs, near Sacramento, California. Rickard is founder and publisher of the website on contemporary photography, ''American Suburb X,'' which the ''British Journal of Photography'' considers "influential"; and the website ''These Americans,'' which publishes some of his collection of found photographs.〔 His most noteworthy books are ''A New American Picture'' (2010, 2012) and ''N.A.'' (2013, 2014). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doug Rickard (photographer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
