Gary Ricketts, after a life-long career in television production and management, retired from the ABC Television Network at the end of 2007. One of the highlights of Gary's career was covering the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, for which he won one of his three Emmys. In addition to thousands of ABC Sports telecasts during his career, Gary participated in covering Presidential Inaugurations and the Philippine Revolution for ABC News.

Gary's interest in photography also spans several decades. When he was shooting 35mm Kodachrome color slides in the 1970's, several of his photographs were published in regional magazines and newspapers.

A selection of Gary's photographs is currently on display at Four Seasons Antiques, Art and Botanicals Gallery in Homewood, Alabama.
