Eric's interest in photography started as a teenager. With his trusty Pentax K1000 purchased in a second hand shop, he went to work shooting life on campus for the high school newspaper. Eventually, his passion for photography prompted him to turn his bedroom into a darkroom. Later, he moved to Hawaii, where he helped build Oahu's first public access digital photo lab. His love of electronic music led him to a night gig as a club promoter. After searching unsuccessfully for a nightlife photographer to document his events, he gave up and started bringing his own camera, where he discovered an affinity for DJ photography. He is currently working on a photo book titled "Wheels of Steel: DJ Portraits." He lives in Salt Lake City with a beautiful wife and two cats.
