Eric is a junkie, and his drug is street photography. Since 2014, he has been walking thousands of miles in urban centers, documenting how he sees the world. His many years working as a street mime have strongly influenced his photographic voice . Eric is trained to anticipate and respond to human behavior to make people laugh. So it’s no surprise that many of Eric’s street photos are quirky, funny, and satirical.  Eric recently joined the Candid City Street Photography Collective, whose members are all based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Eric sees many people walking around urban centers without paying too much attention to what’s happening around them. Most people stare at their phones, make phone calls, or listen to music. They’re not present or living in the moment. Eric hopes his photos are a wake-up call. He hopes people will look at his photos and think, “Maybe I should spend less time on my phone and more time observing life around me.”
