Erik embodies artful living. Looking for synergy between all of his pursuits, he will backpack deep into the woods on multi-day camping trips in order to take unique pictures and videos of remote wilderness landscapes and plants.
I regularly joke that reading Erik’s work from the comfort of my couch on Sunday mornings must produce something close to the evidence-based benefits of being outdoors. He has a way with words and editing of his pictures to enhance the beauty of nature.
We discussed his origins outdoors along with his evolution as a writer, photographer, and philosopher. We also explored the concepts of convergence, fatherhood, awe, expectations, presence, solitude, inner peace, different art forms, purposeful hiking, backcountry footwear, some unique products he’s recently created, and much more.
Erik’s work is shared both through his outstanding Substack account, Field Notes, and through his website. If you enjoy nature, art, and/or philosophy, I can’t recommend following him enough.
