self portrait, barcelona, 1996




born and raised in the salinas valley, i have always 
had an inclination for land.  

it's contour and flow amaze me, and the way our 
culture interacts with it is simply a phenomenal study..

spent some time at uc davis, and ended up with a 
design degree.  good people there.  
i do miss the bay area.
 
alas, now i've moved down to sunny pasadena to fine 
tune my photography at art center college of design.

its been a good year.  wonderful people in los angeles.
takes some time to find them, but they do exist here...

well, the obligatory resume lies here as well.  its not
quite fresh.  but its a reflection of the past and the
experiences that have formed how i walk today.. 

so geesh? what else makes up erik, you say?

it would be an amazing day if i could fit in a few games
of pool, the opportunity to cook a fabulous meal for a
good friend, a bit of dancing on a hardwood floor..

yeah..  that would be a good day.
