Featured Local Artist- Eric from EricG Photography

Because people may not always be comfortable with the subjects being discussed in our office, we like to create a welcoming and comforting environment, in whatever way we can.  We sometimes will have freshly baked treats, we always have a variety of teas and coffees, and we encourage local artists to show their work. 

Currently, we are featuring local photographer Eric from EricG Photography. Though he has become only recently interested in photography, his work reveals a passion for the art form and an undeniably artistic eye. Eric's preferred subject matter has evolved since beginning to experiment with photography; currently, he prefers people, and capturing their lives.

This idea is explored in greater depth with the development of his "Stranger Project," where his subjects are the people he meets while walking around cities and towns.  Eric describes the process: "[I] just randomly stop and chat with people who are out and about. I get their 'story' and take their photograph. I then add their photograph to my 'Stranger Gallery' on my website. Sometimes that conversations last for upwards of 45 minutes, sometimes its a 30 second blurb about where they live, what they do and then they are on their way. Having been doing this project for about 4 months now, I have met over 150 amazing people…[and] only had six people decline to participate."

Part of Eric's "Stranger Gallery" will be on display in our office through January 17th.  We would love for you to drop in and enjoy the art!
