About --erica  

son of a motherless goat says:
"erica is not only a fantastically sweet and fun person to hang around and shoot with... but her images are SO easy to connect with. her passion for (what i call) "gadget shooting" (meaning her use of TTV and polaroids) is so inspiring and such a breath of fresh air filled with memories of times past. i love that. absolutely love her work for that. thanks, erica for being such a humongous inspiration to me. sincerely."

MY Photography says:
"Erica is an amazing talent. She is a true individual and her photography reflects that. Erica see the light like no other and is an inspiration to many. Her pictures make me happy :) Thanks for doing what you do!"

"Erica's photography, especially her pola's, are breathtaking. She can make any moment and any location amazing with instant film. Such an inspiration :)"

"If there was a book showcasing --erica's work behind the camera, I'd expect it to be titled "The Delicate Lightness of Being", with the back cover mentioning that it also contains some of the best backlit photos you'll ever find. While she seems to be most comfortable taking pictures of her beautiful daughter, her flickr photostream and (even more so) her blog prove that her capabilities extend much further. I'm always looking forward to seeing her new uploads on flickr. Thank you, --erica!

P.S.: It's been a while since I wrote the above. Since then, --erica has acquired a second inofficial title for herself, besides Queen of Backlighting: Mistress of Polaroids. Time for her second book, I'd say! :-)"

"Words can't even begin to explain how much I adore Erica's work. She inspires me every day and is actually one of the reasons I joined flickr. Her daughter is adorable and she is amazing at capturing her. Her pictures are so magical and I really hope I can be as talented as her one day!"

"After visiting Erica's Flickr stream I was stunned by the way she brings out the best in kids!"

"erica has a magic touch. there is something intangible that some photographers have a knack for capturing - something delicate and deeper than a 2 dimensional surface could ever seem. erica is one of those rare magic capturers."

"Ansel Adams wrote: "A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety." Erica's photographs clearly display this depth, this understanding, this beauty.

I couldn't love or admire Erica's work more; it's fantastic and heart-felt."

SheilaHiggins says:
"erica's work is like the magic of childhood captured and saved. when i see her images i feel sunny afternoons, warm summer breezes, i hear the crunch of leaves and laughter. her images are so real and so beautiful."

"Breathtaking, that is the word to describe her work. Love each black and white photo, so emotional and awesome. You're an inspiration Erica!"

lightsongs (Kerry) says:
"Gosh. Firstly i cannot believe I have not written Erica a testimonial already. So here goes. This girl has a beautiful and pure soul. And you can see this in her work. All the time. Her images have a subtlety and beauty rarely seen on flickr. Amid her work you will find none of the 'gaudy' we so often see on flickr. Its all about light and love. Her work is art. Her technical skill with the camera - esp concerning her amazing backlight work - is consummate. Add this to her artistic brilliance and you have perfection. I love seeing Erica's work, she is always an inspiration. Yeah yeah, you may say, but it is true. She is also a caring friend and has been by my side as a gentle reminder to me to be myself and focus on my own photography. So thank you Erica. You are one in a million xx"

"Erica's work (and sewing ability) is stunning. The light, the bokeh, her beautiful children, the surroundings she captures...it is as if she inhabits a magical world where the light is always golden and girls with full skirts twirl around happily, and endlessly. Visiting her stream is a sweet secret, so wonderfully captured and stored."

"Wow, wow & wow .... talk about excellent child photography. The composition in each of her photos is consistently amazing. They are not just "standard" portrait shots ... there's always a beautiful element added to each shot. Erica definitely has an "eye" for this ... keep up the good work my friend !"
