Though based in Annapolis, Maryland, I travel for about 3 months per year and have been to over 50 countries; my photography is closely linked to my travels. I've had a lot of opportunities to exercise my interest by virtue of having lived in both the Netherlands and Hawaii, both exceptionally photogenic places. In my travels I try to capture a sense of place as well those evocative moments that form our strongest memories, from landscapes to candid street portraits. Travel photography of this sort has multiple goals: a documentary one and an emotional one.

ERIC CRENSHAW, STORYTELLER
Eric Crenshaw is a storyteller. His stories range from his own experiences during the turbulent 60's, to the peace and tranquility of tropical islands, and everywhere in between. No matter your perspective, you’ll see yourself in his work.
Eric is excited about having a voice that is all his own while helping others find theirs. “The gift of visual art is both in the giving and the receiving. My vision, while unique, connects with so many others who see what I see and can also take away their own story. It’s truly a blessing.”
I begin my work on a granular level to rebelliously find within myself the rough and the unsocialized facts of my own fears and human nature to embrace, hug, kiss, and bring to the surface of my work by creating a partnership with the piece I am courting.
