Eric will be joining us for the evening to showcase his photography and share his process. “I am Gen-X, an 80s casualty and a Baltimore exile. Since 2011 I’ve photographed vacated houses waiting to be demolished. These buildings no longer exist. The brevity, finality, and joy of life influence my work. Using 35mm film, a mirrorless digital camera or a cell phone I examine patterns and ironies that fascinate me.”
