"For this shot, it was necessary to wander aimlessly for several hours through the back streets
of Fira on the island of Santorini until both the sun and my cruise ship were about to slip
out of sight. As a result, having just completed lazily shooting an entire roll of film of the same
church, I casually glanced at my watch which consequently produced a violent skip of my heartbeat
as I realized I had 11 minutes to get all the down the cliff and on to my cruise ship. The lesson
is: Linger too long and your destination will become your permanent home!
"
Erik Cockrell first discovered his passion for capturing uncommon glimpses of
uncommon places during his first vacation to Greece long ago during which he
captured spectacular images of the Greek Isles. Prior to this he had received
his first camera as a birthday present and had only used it once to take very
unbecoming photos of his cat in his backyard. However, during his first travels,
he realized that inspiration and beauty surrounded him on every side. It was simply
up to him to actively look and engage the world around him. Since then, he has traveled
extensively and always hoped to return having captured a unique and intimate view of
the beauty, architecture, common people and nature throughout the world. He hopes to
continue this passion both professionally and personally as he builds a varied and
remarkable portfolio.
