I grew up in Northern Ontario (Canada) ... played hockey in the winters & camped all summer long. The outdoors became my place of 'residence' during the spring, summer, & fall. When at home, I slept on the cot in our screen house & when camping, I slept in my own tent (vs. the trailer with the rest of the family). Every day was a new adventure biking, hiking, & canoeing with my friends & sister. When I reflect on my childhood, I can't help but smile. I thank my parents for having provided me with such a terrific place to grow-up & explore. Now-a-days, when I am able to sneak away to camp, canoe, & hike ... I feel like I am at 'home' again. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the technical aspects of photography while studying Forensics ... On the way home from the course, I was waiting at the airport & picked up an, ‘Outdoor Photographer,’ magazine, ... and so grew the idea that I should begin combining my new introduction to photography with the experiences I treasure while, ‘exploring.’ I hope you enjoy …

    "I remember the day very well when I asked my colleague Alice on Flickr-friends she considered to be not only great photographers, but also great people. She pointed me to Ernie straight away, and boy, her judgement was spot on.

    Not only is he a very modest person, the quality of his work to me deserves nothing less than the tag ‘Majestic’.

    Looking forward to a lasting Flickr-friendschap. So far it’s been inspirational, as it’s been a lot of fun.

    So, cheers Ernie, you’re a good man. In more ways than one!

    Jesse"

    "Ernie is a modest guy but as the saying goes "Still waters run deep" , he has a great depth of creativity, a deep knowledge of photography, and is able to capture the beauty of life around him. I enjoy viewing his photography. He isn't afraid to challenge himself with new concepts, and I love to see the results on his stream.
    A highly capable and masterful photographer."

    Creative Hands Photography says:

    "Ernie is a humble yet most amazing photographer. His work always holds some mystery from a beautiful landscape to an artifact.......he always stretches the boundaries of photography and transforming his work into a piece of art ......Ernies' work makes you to want to linger and enter his world. His work is more than a photography...their is a purity, honesty and interpretation that is beyond what we normally see."
