Will do! Thanks!

Thanks Mary Ann!
Wow oh wow, Eric!! That is absolutely wonderful. Your photos are *stunning*. Delighted to hear you have received this recognition. 💪☺️
There are few things better than pictures like this. One of them is a father bragging on his son. 👍
That is something to be proud of. I can’t tell what the photo is, any help?
Pod of Whales!
I thought it was a whale but w/o glasses it was a blob. You must be very proud.
Yes. Thank you Melinda.
What’s his future plans or will he remain an amateur, if you can it that.
He’s searching for some pro opportunities.
He certainly has the skills. I know there are sites that host your photos for sell, but can’t remember the names. If interested, I have a reader who uses one, I can ask him.
Thanks Melinda. He is fully immersed in those sites. Appreciate your offer. Thank you.
WOW!!! Well-deserved gold medal – congratulations Eric!! His writing so beautifully complements his photos and his photos invite us into this world of wonder he has found. Fantastic!
Agree Mimi. Thank you!
Stunning, both the images and words. You must be reeling with pride and joy.
Wow❣️ well done Eric 🎉
I am not surprised. And I’m sure there will be more to come.
And I love this, “It is in these moments in the seemingly endless expanses of the sea, watching the animals spend time with one another, that you begin to understand that their comfort comes from closeness, not distance; from touch, not personal space. You start to realize that we might just be more similar to these giants than we thought.”
Thank you Erik
These photos are BEAUTIFUL! Together they tell a story…. How engaging these are these magnificent creatures! Thank you for sharing Erik’s work and deserved success with us! Has anyone here listened to Paul Winter Consort? “In 1980, the cathedral [of Saint John the Divine in NY City] commissioned Paul to write the Missa Gaia/Earth Mass, which he created as an ecumenical ecological mass celebrating the entire Earth as a sacred place.” He recorded whales’ songs for decades.
These are such beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing Erik’s work and well-deserved praise. I love these magnificent creatures. Does anyone here know about the Paul Winter Consort? He’s a jazz musician who has recorded whale sounds, their music. “In 1980, the cathedral [Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NY City] commissioned Paul to write the Missa Gaia/Earth Mass, which he created as an ecumenical ecological mass celebrating the entire Earth as a sacred place.
