I'm Erik, an Asheville NC based photographer and musician (All Hell / Dreamkill). This is my primary outlet for my photography which includes a mix of film and digital work. I mostly do urbex, cemetery, and generally dark photography.

Yeah it feels great, for me its the weight over time around the neck, especially if I have a second camera.

That extra shutter button is really convenient on the rare occasion I remember it exists haha.

I love my F4! It's my trusty light leak free work horse and the metering is incredibly accurate. I got the larger grip and don't necessarily regret it but the smaller one would be nice.

The shutter sound is also one of the best out there!

Color film photo of the recently closed down paper mill in Canton, North Carolina. There is a lot of history with this place on my Mom's side of the family but it was also a major source of pollution and I am glad it is closed. The economic hit to the area was rough but it had been in the works for decades now.
