Nonprofiteer living on the south side of Chicago. Into bicycles, trains, cities, architecture, history, politics, computers, and all kinds of other things.
The heart of my photostream is my collection of Chicago photos, documenting nearly all of the city's 77 official Community Areas.
I take lots of photos of buildings and places, but not many of people. I pretty much exclusively use my Nikon D40, with a smattering of iPhone shots if it's all I have on me when something exciting happens.
If you want to use my photos for something, the answer is usually yes, but I do appreciate being asked. Nearly all photos are released under a Creative Commons Attribution - Noncommercial - Share Alike license, meaning you're free to do most anything with them, but if you're going to make money on them, you need special permission. It makes me happy to see my photos get used, and I've not yet turned down a request, so don't hesitate to ask.
I very occasionally blog at reallyboring.net.

"Eric's expert documentings of the neighbourhoods of Chicago are excellent (when he gets off his bike for long enough to take the shots) with his passion for history coming through strongly in his explanations. My eyes have been opened to aspects of a world city seldom seen by the busy tourist.
I've only met Eric in this brittle Flickrworld, but I know he's a cool guy, with a great sense of humour. Keep the shots coming, mate!"13th September, 2008
