Richard Davis is an International Photographer based in Katy, Texas. Katy, a former rice farming community and oilfield, is now more commonly viewed as a suburb 25 miles west of Houston.
Originally from Swindon in England, from an early age Richard wanted to travel. With a degree in Geophysics, he entered the oil exploration industry which, over the next 11 years, took him to live and work in Libya, South Africa, Brunei, Libya (again), Tunisia, Dubai, and Oman.
A change of track then brought him to the United States to lead a hazardous waste remediation project and that led into an IT Management career. While in Houston he met and married his wife, Karen. Richard's IT Management career took them to Paris, France, where they lived for two years before returning to Houston in early 2000.
In addition to his library of slide and print images from around the world, Richard went fully digital in 2006 when Canon introduced the EOS 5D and has continued to extend his digital image library. He uses a range of cameras but his current favorite remains the Canon EOS 5D Mk II.
Richard takes on a broad range of subjects and his images have appeared in corporate publications, local magazines and various web sites.
Richard lives with his wife Karen, of Karen Davis Design, and their two children (and 3 fish).

Drove across the dam on our way home to you, stopped to take in a visit to the workings Mavis had very sore feet from the heat in Vegas so it was a bit of a tip toe visit, we were on a curtuitous route home to you, apart from the 18 wheelers on the hairpins back up the Police had seen fit to stop a couple of cars and carry out a detailed search, caused a hair raising restriction in the road width of which they seemed blissfully anaware.
They say the desert only flowers once in a hundred years but it looks as if it is a daily occurence if your in the right place.
