Richard Estrada’s interest in art began in Italy where he graduated from Vicenza American High School and learned photography. He furthered his education at the University of New Mexico (UNM) where he studied fine arts and continued to practice photography. He then transitioned to motion pictures, working for animation studios in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Denver. Through his media company Edgewood Picture Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Richard creates a variety of visual and online content. His website at edgewoodpicture.com contains much of his work. The Challenge is his first published book.
