He had arrived . He loved art . He loved photography . He had a Hasselblad

Born London Southbank 1950s. By nineteen he was freelance and busy. London was the creative capital of the world, and Eric had a key to it.

The Rolling Stones. The Who. Cream — Ginger Baker often stayed at Eric's. Andy Warhol turned the camera around and photographed him. He built David Hockney an armchair out of full cases of champagne. At Coutts Bank, His Royal Highness Edward, Duke of Wessex, came over to thank him personally for the photography auction that he helped organise in aid of the Duke of Edinburgh Trust. His work was being widely published — The Times, IPC Magazines, National Magazines, Virgin, Phonogram, EMI. His original signed prints were sold through Sotheby's, the Photographer's Gallery,  The Chelsea Arts Club, McKinsey’s and so on. The Royal Photographic Society awarded him their Gold Medal. The V&A has his artwork in their collection.

He has never made much of a fuss about any of it.
