Erik and I grew up together in Northridge; we went all through school together, side by side. I came up to attend the SF Art Institute, and on a trip down south, visited Erik while he was having his dialysis done. I invited him to come visit me in SF, and sure enough, there he was one day, waiting for me to get home. I regret that I was not a very good friend to him, beyond introducing him to my teachers and friends at the Art Inst. I was just too busy pursuing my own life and photography to honor this old friendship. From what I can see (on the net) it looks as though he had a number of good friends around him. Still, I do regret not being a more diligent friend. He was a genuine "one of". I'm grateful that you've posted his work, which looks as good as always.
