I’m Eric Gaydos, a photographer & product manager based in Chicago, IL.

I love to travel and capture what I see, whether to wide open spaces in the American West, or major cities around the world. I seek peace in movement, in solitude and quiet, and in the anonymity of visiting a far away place. I've always had a tendency toward escapism and a curiosity for just about everything, so I turn my wanderings into art.

I'd love to connect on Instagram or Threads.

A quick biography by way of fun facts:

🌎 I've been to 39 US states and 12 other countries.

πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ί I once went viral in Mauritius when I helped redirect a misspelled tourism ad at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.

πŸŽ₯ My favorite movie is Paolo Sorrentino's La Grande Belleza, but I met my wife in an argument over the 1997 John Cusak classic Grosse Pointe Blank, which remains a close second.

🚴 I'm a runner and cyclist, and I closely follow pro cycling, Formula 1, soccer, and baseball. I ride a Trek Domane.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡° My last name is Rusyn. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh where my mostly Slovak great-grandparents immigrated to work in mines and mills. I try to stay true to their legacy of honest hard work.

Proudly based in Chicago.
