Who is E. Howe?

I’m a photographer living and working in Yosemite National Park since May of 2005.   This has its advantages and drawbacks;  for example, it’s a long drive to the nearest shopping mall.  On the downside, it’s not easy for friends to come and visit for a weekend, and there’s a serious dearth of good single malt whiskey here in the valley.  For the most part, though, I love my life.  I have access to some of the most spectacular scenery in the entire world on a daily basis.  I can scout out landscapes to photograph, and I have an intimate knowledge of best the times of day for the best light.  You can see my rather exhausting stock of photos on Flickr, currently more that 15,000 images.  I also have a Live Journal account, but that’s mostly a means of keeping in touch with friends from around the world and to give voice to my political views.

What’s the story with the name?

In the summer of 2006, a dear friend and coworker gave me a small, incarnadine dome tent.  Since much of my photography involved backpacking into the back country of the Sierra Nevada at the time, it was a godsend.  I have this phobia of waking up to the stench of bear breath in my face.  A small, lightweight tent may not have protected me from bears, but it made me a bit more relaxed at night.  On my first overnight trip with the tent, I found it was very photogenic.  In direct late afternoon light, it glowed!  The Little Red Tent went with me on many trips, and I made a point of including it in some of my photos on each trip.  Unfortunately, the Little Red Tent is on extended hiatus due to a broken flap zipper.  It has been replaced with a bivvy tent, but I really miss the ease of setting up a dome tent.

I really like your work.  Where can I buy prints?

Woo-hoo!  YES!  #happydance#  Ahem.  Thank you for your interest in my work.  Prints can be purchased directly from me. I use a professional digital print lab in Oakhurst, and can recommend them highly for printing your own digital images. I do suggest you contact them and ask for a sample of their work on a variety of papers; Their web address is Aspen Creek Photo.  Disclosure:  I do not receive any compensation from Aspen Creek Photo.  I am simply a happy customer of theirs.  Email me for a price quote and details of the size of the prints I can offer at this time.

What kind of camera do you use?

Currently I am using Canon T1i with a Tamron 18-270mm lens.

Let me give you some money to buy a better camera.

Wow!  Thank you!

Enough with the exposition and begging.  Where’s your blog and photo gallery?
