The X stands for justice. 
I’m Richard, I’m 18 and have been taking pictures [1] for 5 years. I started this website [2] in December 2007.
I used to say I have a life mission, but that sounds too pompous now.
Here’s my Dad [3], my Dad again [4], mom [5], my cousin [6], and me again [7].
I live in sunny Florida, about five miles from Daytona Beach. Give me a call at 386-675-4472 if you’re around, and I’ll take pictures of you possibly.
I was [8] going to be a librarian, but I’m pretty disappointed in the Volusia County library system. They throw out books and waste tax money constantly. I was going to open [9] my own library [10], but that seems silly now.
I am a computer programmer in my spare time, PHP only. My projects are Tweet This [11], the popular Wordpress + Twitter plugin, Th8.us [12], a URL shortener, Bookley [13], an integrated library system, and this blog.
I previously didn’t want to have a job [14], but now I’d like a menial job where I don’t have to think much. I do make money [15] off those little ad boxes you see around the site, whenever someone clicks them (don’t click unless you’re very interested in the ad being displayed).
My mother left for California when I was 6, but my Dad remarried and we have a happy family. My new Mom works at the local health food store, encouraging me to eat vegetables daily.
My Dad changed his name from Parrish to Thripp in 1986. I like it. It’s much more interesting and distinctive.
I left Daytona State College [7] because I messed up my sleep patterns and felt awful.
I always have a camera on me, and I play the piano [16] while not reading, writing, photographing, or programming.
My pictures are all Photoshopped [17], in case you’re wondering. All of them are royalty-free stock photos, and I link to the source file and high-res version at the bottom. Use them for anything. Be sure to credit me so others can find them.
If you want to know way too much about me, check out my Twitter page [18].
The Cisco 646-003 [19] advanced routing and switching for account managers experts who have been through 642-691 [20] BGP+MPLS exam or Cisco wide area application services for account managers 646-653 [21] are usually great candidates for CompTIA XK0-002 [22] linux + as well as Microsoft 70-297 [23] designing windows server 2003 active directory and network infrastructure.
