spotlight: open source photographer

Street photographer Eric Kim is a recent UCLA grad who is devoted to what he calls beauty in the mundane; for him, the ordinarily beautiful is found on streets of Los Angeles, South Korea, and Europe. Eric also has a blog loaded with his insights into photography including his feelings on the open source movement and how to conduct social breaching experiments. His upcoming manual "Street Photography 101" is set to be published online and include tidbits like "Ways to take candid photos without being creepy." In line with his commitment to accessible art education, "Street Photography 101" will be available for download for free: "It’s kind of childish of me, but human nature is about sharing."


"If you’re a street photographer, you don’t want to shy down from people."



"One day, you’re going to buy a bowl of cereal and it’s going to have a camera on it."


"Photography is probably one of the most pervasive artforms out there; the lure is so strong."
