About Me

Name: Katherine Erickson

I am a 42 year old mother of two who has been doing photography since age 15.Prior to digital photography,I had a great deal of dark room experience.I used to use filters,screens and materials in the darkroom that now can be added to a photo with the push of a button. I also did hand painting on my black and white photos and used various toning effects.For now photography is my hobby. In order to get my kids outdoors and happily occupied, I spend a great deal of time exploring the southern California coastline and have shot photos from as far south as Del Mar up to Pismo Beach. I often look for beaches that are not heavily occupied or kind of hidden from the general public. We have been lucky to find some pretty pockets of paradise. In addition to beaches, I often hike through nature reserves, botanical gardens and Japanese gardens as I love plants and flowers. On the other hand, my work often has me driving through some very industrialized areas in Los Angeles, so I may get my camera out and pop off a shot of an old church, building or homeless camp. Sometimes I superimpose my images of industry onto my images of nature as a way of exposing the damage that is done to our planet.
