Welcome, intrepid Flickr-er! My name is Erik. Portland, Oregon is my home and playground.
First, here's some perspective on my photography. The pictures I post here show where I've been and doing what I enjoy. I seem to take pictures when engaging in the aspects of my life that just happen to be photogenic.
I use Google Picasa as a free, easy way to enhance things a bit with pictures. I seem to keep the pictures looking the way I experienced it with my own eyes. As a rule - that certainly is broken from time to time - I prefer my photography to accurately reflect the basic beauty of reality in the world.
Thanks for stopping by.
My partner, Jessica, and I used to maintain this site collaboratively. But our own personal development and changes in habits have caused some separation in the Flickr realm. It has been a positive progression. Jessica now has her own page.

Erik and Jessica's landscape images are in a different league. Each and every day I look forward to seeing more of there gems. I can tell they put a lot of thought and effort into each and every image. Not only do they do a lot of hiking to get these images but when they get to there destinations, they put a lot of time and thought into the composition and lighting of their landscapes. There hasn't been many of there images that I have not personally faved, they are that good at what they do. I have been in the landscape photography business for a lot of years now, and I know good landscapes when I see them. They definetely have them on their stream.
