Landscape nominee

While the images span the breath of the American railroad system, they highlight the relationship between the contextual environment and the railroad. With a deep understanding of the historical, economic, technological and cultural place of the railroad, Eric infuses his images with a subjective and emotional response that reflects his vision of a noble and heroic role of the railroads within the American psyche.
