Breaking Bald

With its dark, speckled feathers, a juvenile bald eagle could easily be mistaken for a hawk or another bird. The talons, beak, and gaze, however, remain distinctly familiar.
In my short window of time, I found myself waiting in the wind and rain at low tide along the Homer Spit. It became an exercise of hoping for eagles that would be patient enough to cooperate for a few moments. During most of my initial encounters, even the slightest movement would send them off the sand and into the sky. After a few missed opportunities, anticipating takeoff became easier, and I was able to adjust my position accordingly.
Around a year and a half old, this young eagle was about three years from “going bald.” While the white feathers were notably absent, a juvenile is still something to behold—almost biblical in appearance. A split second is all it takes to capture the power and spirit ingrained in its DNA.
At this moment, the eagle was still earning its wings. Now, soaring somewhere over the Alaskan landscape sporting its iconic plumage.

Archival Pigment Prints
Modern printmaking, refined. Pigment prints utilize state-of-the-art digital technology and high-quality pigment-based inks to achieve striking reproductions. A digital image is applied directly onto the paper using precision inkjet printers, ensuring both image quality and longevity.
Vision meets the surface. Archival papers differ in weight, material, and texture. A paper is chosen to best suit the intent of the piece, from satin finishes to enhance rich shadows and colors, to handmade Japanese rice paper that offers a more textured and vintage feel.
The edition size ensures that only the number of prints indicated will ever be produced. Each print is proofed, reviewed, numbered, and signed by Eric, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity that is unique to your artwork.
