CATEGORIES
The images, curated by Ericson are presented in his book, WILLIAM ERICSON PHOTOGRAPHY - A RETROSPECTIVE, in various categories: Places; People; Things; Abstracts; and Commercial Photography.
He referred to the Abstract photos he shot overseas as “found art.” The Abstract photos are the result of layer upon layer of public information posters.
Almost all the photographs were shot and printed by Ericson before the introduction of digital photography. He personally photo scanned his original prints. His original in-progress cataloging system is preserved with his title or a file number to correspond with each image. He did not have the opportunity to title all the photos.
