Eric F. Frazier

Writer/Author/Fotografer

Frazeology is my take on matters large and small, in the news or off the radar.

Fotografy is my passion away from the keyboard - visual captures of nature and my travels.

Frazeology + Fotografy = less words/more pictures.

About Eric F. Frazier

I am an independent writer, editor, book reviewer and co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.

Frazeology is my take on matters large and small, in the news or off the radar. My approach is personal, but the goal is not to write about me. Rather, it is to offer subjective observations about experiences and concerns that we all share.

Away from the keyboard, I love to be in the outdoors with a camera and long lens in my hands.

Fotos are my visual captures of nature and my travels through it.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you enjoy reading and viewing.
