Posted on July 17, 2013 by

This website, rikomatic.com, was long due for a refresh.  So last night, I swapped out the cover image of a globe at the Queens Worlds Fair for a pic from a photo shoot I did on the Manhattan Bridge in 2010. And I changed the background colors accordingly. What do you think?
