A photo series of the car spare parts and junkyards and the amazing people who work there in the oil rich country of United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. Where used cars, insurance write offs and spare parts are shipped in from Asia, North America and sold off for profit (15-25%)

Rico is not your fine-art educated type; there's no waffle and no literary enigma machines like dictionaries or thesauruses required to decode him. Yes, he will drop the occasional f-bomb.

He is all visual, direct in speech, has a partial filter, and, if we're being honest, he is not keen on writing 'captions,' 'artist statements,' 'descriptions,' or 'bios.' These are the very things that tend to alienate many artists like himself, who aren’t silver-tongued wordsmiths with too much to say.

So, we will keep it short and sweet: Rico takes photos.

The End!
