Erik's passion for photography goes back 55 plus years, starting with a Kodak Brownie Reflex film camera his mother gave him, then a Kodak rangefinder, Canon SLR film, small format digital, DSLR's, and more recently mirrorless cameras. Many years working with film gave Erik an appreciation for capturing nature's beauty as true to life as possible with a minimal amount of editing, and that approach has persisted in his use of digital cameras. Many images displayed were captured in the Pacific Northwest, where the region's mountains, beaches, deserts, abundant birds and beautiful cityscapes serve as constant inspirations. Erik's canvas photo enlargements provide wall decor for medical offices in Eugene, Keizer and Portland, and have been exhibited at The Palace Coffee Bakery in Eugene, including for a Friday Art Walk.
