This man had a heart, I met Eric at the age of 13 . At 16 1998 we made a friendship that would last a lifetime. He was like a farther /friend to me. He did not just leave a box of photos for his kids , he left a folder in his dark room with my name on the side . a catalogue of photographs he had taken over the years using me as his private model . He documented my life when I was invisible to the rest of the world .
