About

The given name is James, or Séamuis either way, unless you want to call me Erik. I am a Texan born and raised, from the city of Fort Worth. I currently reside in the city of Savannah, Georgia which is a great inspiration for me. I’m 24 years old, I’m an Atheist, an ‘Irish-American’ who loves his heritage, an aspiring photographer, and a ‘Pentaxian’ at heart. I fancy myself as being thoroughly stuck in the 70’s. I love old camera’s, custom vans, vinyl records & turntables. I enjoy 60’s & 70’s Rock, Irish Folk, Blues & Classical. I am a street photographer, I pursue a passion for capturing people doing what people do. I take my photographic inspiration from the likes of Eddie Adams, Garry Winogrand, Stephen Shore, Harry Callahan & Sam Haskins. I also take plenty of inspiration from some of my favourite musical artists such as Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Bob Dylan & Steve Miller just to name a few. I have no formal photography training but I am always seeking and trying to progress as an artist while I use the world around me as a learning tool.
