He teaches photography workshops at locations including the Chester Springs Studio, Main Line Art Center, and Jenkins Arboretum, is a speaker at area camera clubs, and is also the program chair for the Main Line Camera Club.

As a cyclist and swimmer, Ray has also competed in championship Ironman distance triathlons, and most loved riding his bike across America.
For Ray, seeing like a photographer is to perceive well. It’s creating images that are more than pretty pictures — hopefully — and that trigger the viewer’s inner-voice, that suggest a story, that evolve in the consciousness as they’re viewed, that invite a sense of curiosity, that cause one to pause and maybe take a closer look.
