About the Photographer

My photography is driven by my passion and love for God, for those made in His image, and for His Creation. I desire to be a visual evangelist, using images and impressions to urge you to ponder, praise, revere, and worship the Creator.

I took up photography early in my teen years and thoroughly enjoyed a vast array of visual experiments. As I mastered the technical side of photography, I worked with rangefinder, SLR, and homemade pinhole cameras. I loved the black and white darkroom, but shooting color reversal films brought the greatest joy. There is more to photography, however, than exposing a medium to light, balancing dark and bright. Pressing onward, coursework in college enlightened me to the art of photography, where I was challenged to address angles, form, composition, and storytelling.

In recent years I have embraced digital photography. The new tools are photo sensors, computers, and laser-driven darkrooms. Do I miss pulling freshly developed film from a tank or seeing an image materialize in Dektol under the dim illumination of paper-safe red light? A little. Those were adventurous times, and I have saved some of the equipment to share the processes with my children when they are a bit older.

What can I do for you? Would you like enlargements of one or more of my gallery images? Do you need a tireless event photographer? I am also available for commercial projects and portraits, specializing in work with available light. Please use my Contact page to send me a message, and I will respond within one business day unless I am working away from the Internet.

By the way, my last name is pronouced jōb, or johb; it's a Biblical name; most people call me "Eric".
