There’s a great interview with Eric Cheng on the Nature, Wildlife, and Pet Photography Forum. Check it out to find out how underwater photography found Eric!
Eric was one of my inspirations for taking up photography. I always enjoyed browsing through his photos of his time in college. Although I wrote in a journal nearly everyday, I didn’t have much in the way of photo documentation. That changed in 1998 when I bought my first digital camera, and the rest as you know is history! Back when I first picked up a camera, I didn’t know my shutter speed from my aperture, but now they are second nature. Thanks, Eric, for all the help you’ve given me over the years!

Thank you, Adam! I’ve grown a lot during the last few years as well, and have enjoyed our various late-night collaborations. ;)
