Iβm 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.
A quick biography by way of fun facts:
π I've been to 39 US states and 12 other countries.
π²πΊ I once went viral in Mauritius when I helped redirect a misspelled tourism ad at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.
π₯ 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.
π΄ I'm a runner and cyclist, and I closely follow pro cycling, Formula 1, soccer, and baseball. I ride a Trek Domane.
πΈπ° 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.
