His coverage of food and agriculture has been a centerpiece of National Geographic’s focus on world food. 
Known for his documentary photography of small towns and rural issues. CBS News Sunday Morning twice profiled his 35 year-long journal of Cuba, Kansas. ABC News Nightline chronicled Richardson’s coverage of the Columbia river.  His 1979 study of adolescence, “High School USA,” is now considered a photo essay classic.
