Eric always likes to inspire rather than
dwell on the technical aspects of photography. He will share
a lot of personal stories, some from his gathering of images
for his latest book on India, but Eric will also address
many aspects of being a photographer – from business issues
to practical issues.
His real focus, however, is on his use of color—how he visualizes
in color, how he thinks in color and why he uses color to
tell his story.

Program
We'll let Eric describe his own program...
"My [presentation] is meant to be inspirational as
opposed to technical, as well as personal rather than didactic,
and I try to cover many aspects of being a photographer
– from business issues to practical issues. But my focus
is on my use of color—how I visualize in color, how I think
in color and why I use color to tell my story.
"The talk lasts approximately an hour and a half to
two hours, and includes more than 200 images covering many
aspects of my career from advertising through several book
projects; as well, I show a cross section of personal images
made on trips throughout the world, including images made
with digital cameras as well as with film.
"I encourage questions during the presentation; and,
as well, I will take questions from the audience after the
talk."
