My friends call me Rikki, a nickname I got from college when a professor mispronounced my last name. My full name is Julius Reque.  I love to travel, and I love taking photos - sometimes to the point of obsession.  One time I decided to document one of our trips with a video cam.  This video made it online, which caught the eye of one of the producers at Lonely Planet.  A new interest was sparked in me.  I started making videos and before I knew it, LonelyPlanet.tv was commissioning me to create exciting travel videos for them.  But my passion remains with photography.  When I wake up the first thing I grab is the camera.  During trips I’m usually happiest when I’m looking through the view finder.  Interestingly I find myself making my favorite photos the highlight of the videos that I produce.
