I live passionately and I’m fortunate enough to recognize it. Realizing this and knowing that I wanted to make pictures at 15 years old, when I was first seduced by the magic of the latent image in the darkroom provided a path I’m still on today; always learning while exploring. Having worked with large crews on big productions during my early career, I prefer to work lean and robust. My current work reflects a feeling I had never experienced in realizing how my pictures make people feel. It’s a profound realization that completes my path full circle. I believe taste and tenacity separate me from the pack. Technique and approach come to me effortlessly like an unconscious competency. I look forward to continuing to animate the inanimate in still photography and capture an intimacy in portrait subjects whether as a photographer or director.

Inspired by his experiences during Earth Day 1992 in Santa Barbara, Drickey has had a long-held passion for conservation. He returned to Omaha in 2001, shifting his focus to agricultural and outdoor photography. He has done work with the Nature Conservancy in Nebraska and globally. He has credited his work in conservation for reminding him of his love for photography. One of his proudest accomplishments was working with professors Sarah Thomas Karle and David Karle on their 2017 book Conserving the Dust Bowl: The New Deal's Prairie States Forestry Project. As part of their project, Drickey shot aerial photographs of the remaining “shelterbelt” trees in the Great Plains region. His most recent project involved capturing still photography and video for an immersive video installation titled Ñí Brásge : Flat Water which celebrated the state’s natural landscape.
