Yesterday I added the 1,000th photo to my website. Yep, I know that is kind of large for a website, but almost daily I am asked for photos that I still don't have. In fact it happened about 10 minutes ago. It has been a lot of fun shooting Rocky for these past 4.5 years and still I am finding lots of new areas to explore and shoot. Believe it or not, there is more to this park than Sprague and Dream Lake. Thanks for all of the encouragement I've received from all of you over the last years! You can find a collection of what I've shot this summer at this link: http://imagesofrmnp.com/gallery.php?gallery=new

I'm on-board with Nat's comments too. You've had quite a productive summer from what I can see. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on numero 1000, Erik!! Keep up the great work. I especially like those shots of Arrowhead and Solitude, 2 more places i'm now adding to my ever-growing list. I was definitely intrigued by frozen Arrowhead when i saw it from trail ridge in late June. Im gonna have to get up there this fall, when there are clouds of course

Erik, By far you have become the Authority on the Park which I personally value. Your work shows the passion for not only the park by the craft of photographing it in your own unique way. Far from the typical post card shooter! You keep finding those unique new places and we'll keep enjoying them!

You've kept very busy this summer, that's for sure. That's a great collection of some of RMNP's lesser traveled locations. Very inspirational.

Awesome work,Erik! You definitely have the most thorough catalog of RMNP than anyone could possibly hope for. What a great backyard!

Congrats on the milestone Erik. You are one of the hardest-working photogs I know.

Congrats Erik on passing the 1k mark. It was sort of funny hearing you mention you had 999 images on the website when people asked if you had other images as well, when I was at the gallery a couple of weeks ago. Now you will just get to say you have over a thousand other images when they ask moving forward.
