About Me & Stick Shifts and Safety Belts

Welcome to my journey, "what a long strange trip it's been". I’m Eric—and for the past 25 years, I didn’t just take pictures, I froze history in its most electrifying moments. A world-class photographer, my lens carried me across 60 countries, from the roaring energy of sold-out arenas to the quiet awe of sacred places few ever see. Along the way, I rubbed elbows with presidents, astronauts, movie stars, hall-of-fame athletes, rock legends, and world icons, the kinds of people most only glimpse on a movie screen or magazine cover. I’ve stood ringside as history was made, been backstage when dreams came true, and captured the faces of those shaping culture itself.

For years, I was the silent observer, watching, documenting, and preserving the magic for everyone else. But life has a way of nudging you into a new lane. Now, I get to follow another passion that has burned inside me since childhood: cars, cars and more cars. And this time, I’m not just chronicling big moments, I’m creating them.

With Stick Shifts and Safety Belts, I’m turning the camera around. This isn’t simply about giving away cars; it’s about handing someone the keys to a dream, the kind of unforgettable, goosebump-inducing moment I’ve witnessed countless times around the world. It’s about channeling the same spark of joy I once captured through a lens and delivering it right into someone else’s hands.

In the end, I’m just a guy who’s stepped out from behind the curtain to try and make my own magic happen. And I can’t wait to share that magic and this incredible ride, with you.
