One of the things I appreciate most about Eric is that he is constantly reaching out to new photographers and is always eager to help out when asked. Even though I have been at this for awhile now, Eric's advice on scouting, specifically with google maps and Gaia GPS, has been invaluable. He has also, quite literally, given me the shirt off his back. OK....maybe not his shirt, but I have borrowed a jacket, some gloves, a tripod, some batteries....he is always prepared and always has extras in case his friends run low or forget something. Eric's day job involves working with photoshop sometimes upwards of 18 hours a day, so his post processing skills are off the hook. I have also watched him lead countless mini workshops in low level lighting as we constantly have run into other photographers when shooting the Milky Way. So glad I ran into this guy last year and I count it a privilege to call him my friend. If you have any questions regarding post processing, Lightroom shortcuts, luminosity masks or the ability to get under the hood of Google Eart, Eric is your guy. Send him an email, and he will be more than happy to help you out.

Flickr has many very talented photographers displaying their amazing images; but it has also been the source for me to meet and become friends with some pretty special individuals - Eric is one of these! Apart from his obvious skills photographically, Eric takes the time to inform viewers how he created the image, or captured the scene we view. He also is very considered in his praise, advice and critique of our images. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Eric for sharing his work, time and friendship here on flickr to me and others; and I would highly recommend you make the time to view through Eric's collection here. It is truly inspirational. He is continuing to develop new skills and techniques and I look forward to seeing what he has crafted every opportunity I get to review his stream. Once again Eric, I thank you for your friendship and sharing of your time and gifts here on flickr. Regards, Archie.
