Some projects unfold quietly over years.

Eric Perspective is precisely that, a deeply personal collection of 11 Blurb books created by architect Eric Delitzsch, built from memories, places, and moments gathered while traveling across the U.S.

With an architect’s sensitivity to form and atmosphere, his photographs capture buildings that moved him, documenting how travel has shaped his mindset and outlook.

“This project has been growing quietly inside me for a long time,” Delitzsch says. Printing the work gave those experiences a lasting form. One that feels just as intentional as the spaces that inspired it.
