Eric Sommer – Savannah

Eric Sommers - Savannah

Eric Sommer, Savannah - D700, Lensbaby Sweet 35

We were in Savannah, GA last week, I was in a photo workshop with Craig Tanner from TME (The Mindful Eye Photography School) and my wife was touring Savannah and eating well. If you are passionate about photography do yourself a favor and visit Craig’s site tmelive.com you will be glad you did. Probably the best photography instructor you will ever meet and a awesome person to boot. If you can afford to do one of his workshops and they are not booked up, DO IT!

While shooting on the streets of Savannah I had the pleasure of taking a coffee break with Wes Norman, Craig’s assistant for the week. We got our coffee and sat down across from this gentleman and struck up a conversation about cameras. The guy, Eric Sommer, was a singer/guitarist on the road playing 270 dates a year. We asked if we could shoot some photos of him and worked our way outside to Chippewa Square. Eric was a very friendly guy and we had a great time taking photos. This is one of my favorites.

Great town, friendly people, good food, awesome workshop…dosen’t get any better than that for me!

  1. I remember meeting Sommer years ago when he had fallen on hard times working in marketing/advertising. He decided to reinvent himself and go on the road. He looks old now.
