Eric is a California based photographer who graduated from San Jose State University with his MFA with an emphasis in Photography in 2010. Eric’s photography ranges from the beautiful landscapes of the California Coast to the less technically driven cell phone photographs that are examining the strange, funny and mundane aspects of life that he sees around him. The world we live in is complex, full of beauty, life, hardship and ultimately death. Eric uses photography as a tool to try and make sense of the world He lives in.
