Eric is a fine photographer, but he also is a kind person who creates communities, especially in Japan. Almost any time I see an interesting Japanese photographer, I find Eric is already following him/her. More importantly, he writes interesting and insightful, and I think always positive comments. I really enjoyed meeting Eric on one of his Japan 'shahsin osanpo' photo walks. He attracts so many other cool photographers, so it was a pleasure to hang out that day. Thanks for all you do, Eric.

Eric's stream is one of my favourites on Flickr. You can expect, 99.9% of the time, awesome stuff from him everyday. If you find you're in the 0.01% just browse at his old work and it won't disappoint. Yes, there are lots to browse from and it is full of different kinds, bokeh, color, black and white, cross process, yo… Read more

Eric's stream is one of my favourites on Flickr. You can expect, 99.9% of the time, awesome stuff from him everyday. If you find you're in the 0.01% just browse at his old work and it won't disappoint. Yes, there are lots to browse from and it is full of different kinds, bokeh, color, black and white, cross process, you name it. Maybe I have not seen him do HDR but the point is his stream is just one of the best from my contacts. So add him, follow his work and he won't fail you if you like quality photos. Thanks Eric for your everyday posts of different kinds of stuff. I love your work and will continue to follow you on Flickr as long as you're here. Keep it up and I expect more please.

Warning: Eric's enthusiasm for photography is highly contagious. Extended contact will increase both the quantity and quality of your photographic output. Also, he's one heck of a swell guy. Absolutely no idea how he finds the time to participate so much on flickr but, very glad he does!

I have just realized that I have not written any testimonial for anybody of my flickr friends. No doubt Eric is the very first to writ about. Passion + entusiasm + kindness + amazing photostreams + etc and etc. I feel like home with his groups like "Vancouver Area Four thirds system", this is particularly important and valuable to a beginner like me. I learnt so much since I joined his groups. I got some of my best gears at his recommendation. Anyway such a pleasure to share a common hobby with such a great guy. Thank you, Eric. Chun

I'd have to say Eric not only has great pictures, but also has great comments! Beyond that, Eric is great in giving advice about times to shoot in BC, spots to practice, and even general gear advice. Definitely one of my favorite contacts! - Ryan MacLean

Of my Flickr contacts, Eric is among the members I look forward to most seeing new photographs from. As a fellow petrolhead, I thoroughly enjoy seeing Eric's unique take on automotive photography, and as a fellow travel enthusiast, I am constantly enthralled with the photographs Eric posts from his many trips to Asia. Perhaps best of all though, Eric is an active participant on Flickr -- between active commentary on my photos and a constantly updated photostream, his Flickr association is one worth having.

Eric's photographs are unique and pure genius. I especially like Eric's images of his recent trip to Japan. Many of the places I have seen in person several times, yet Eric has managed to capture the feel and essence of what it's like to experience Japan first hand. In addition, the color and compositions are outstanding. Eric is a professional photographer in every way and it clearly shows with his technical knowledge of the camera and the vision he shares with each and every image. Futhermore, Eric has that passion in photography that allows him to gain even more through sharing his experiences and knowledge with the numerous comments he provides for others. Eric is definitely a photographer to watch and I thank him for the opportunity to view his work and craft.

I can't believe no one has written up a testimonial for Eric yet. Well, I am honored to be the first one to do so. Eric has a wide range of photographic interests including automobile, landscape, street, and even macro. His incredible collection of photos is definite proof that he is extremely good at each and every one of these categories and styles. More importantly, he is not only a great photographer but also a great friend. His willingness to inspire others through his uplifting comments and his love for the city of Vancouver has had a tremendous impact on other local photographers. I wish to thank him for making photography such an enjoyable activity for myself and countless number of many others, and flickr such a friendly community as a whole. Way to go, Eric!!! Always looking forward to your new pictures.
