About Me

Ric Ellingson is a songwriter, an eclectic one. Musically, he loves variety. He always liked the diversity of albums like the White Album, where the style could go anywhere. A former suit in the video biz in San Francisco, he now spends his time between working as a photographer & videographer and running www.photorepair.com , a photo restoration company. He spends as much time as possible with his passion for music. Yeah, you guessed it, -he's cursed. /// There may be a couple videos of interest to you produced by Ric in the back video section. Thanks for stopping by.
