ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER - PAGE 4

Eric took his first photos beyond the state of Oregon in 2008 during an overnight expedition to the ghost town of Silver City, Idaho (just across the southeastern Oregon border).

In 2011, Eric moved to Southern Oregon, where he had photographed since a 2005 journey from Portland to the 1851 gold mining town of Jacksonville, Oregon (founded by Oregon miners returning from California).

In addition to Southwestern Oregon, Eric photographed the Oregon Coast, returned to Portland, and continued traveling around the state for the nearly three years he lived there.

This was my first photo taken at night of a historic neon sign that still lights up. I photographed this in 2012 while living near the California border in Southwest Oregon for a couple of years. The bar closed in 2019 after losing its liquor license due to a "sustained history of serious and persistent problems."
