Welcome to my blog.
Ansel Adams said it well: "Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter."
For me, it's not just about capturing the places, but rather the human story that interacts with that landscape. I want my images to hint at the bigger storyline that is unfolding just beyond the frame.
About Eric
I grew up in rural Ohio, and discovered the mountains thanks to a 300ft ski hill called Mad River Mountain. My dad somehow decided that skiing was the perfect Ohio sport, so in the third grade, I burned holes in my fake leather ski gloves while mastering the rope tow. That old rope tow and the icy slopes of Mad River Mountain created a wanderlust in me that has caused me to take up residence in Colorado, Eastern Europe and Russia, and now the mountains of North Carolina.
