      1. A league of his own.
        There’s something in a photograph from the photographer’s soul. I see Stillness and Tranquility in all of his.

    Wow!! .. Amazing photos! … ‘Saturday Morning Post inspired by Eric’s Photos and Japanese Poet and Buddhist Priest Kobayashi Issa who penned: “Climb Mount Fuji / O snail / but slowly, slowly” … ‘

  2. Ohmygosh, David. Eric’s photos are stunning. I agree with Sawsan, there is a piece of his soul in his photos.
    Your whole family must be so proud of him.
    Thank you for showing him off 😉

  3. Thank you for sharing Eric’s beautiful photos. Did anyone else look at the alpacas and think of Caleb? …gave me that inner giggle that Wednesday’s photos bring. Does Eric have a studio? (where people can see and buy these works of art)?

    1. Ha. Alpaca, beautiful as they are, can’t hold a candle to Caleb! Eric does not have a studio, but he’s been contemplating it. Maybe this will encourage him to check it out.

  4. oh gosh, Eric HAS IT – he has seeing eyes, an open heart, sensibility and humility…. or else he couldn’t see the sheer beauty and majesty with such a look!
    And blimey, he’s a runner too – so, you have passed on a few things to your offsprings – does he love puppies too? 😉 (come on, you need all the cheering up I can give you!)

      1. well, that’s good enough for me! I don’t mind him NOT running, makes him rather more special to me ;). The importance is that he loves puppies.

          1. Thank you and a good one to you too. We’re just back from my brother‘s where we all got spoilt rotten with the very best of everything.

            When is Lorne‘s funeral? Just so that we can send special thoughts to you and his family.

  5. I love Eric’s photography…Japan is special to me as my parents lived in Japan decades before I was born…my mom, who loved Japan had lots of fabulous items she purchased when they lived there…we always that Mt. Fuji piece of art and some silver engraved napkin rings with special landscapes of Japan including Mt. Fuji…Our daughter was in the International Baccalaureate program and her four years of language was Japanese, when she was younger she went to a French Immersion elementary school…
