EJ first used a Kodak 126 Instamatic as a young boy. Later he graduated to using his father’s Canon Canonet QL17.

Through the years, he has used a variety of film and digital cameras to capture a wide range of subjects that have ranged from motorsport to landscapes to documentary photography.

His first book was released in early 2025. Small Towns and Rural Scenes of DeKalb County which includes photos taken over the summer of 2023 in DeKalb County Illinois.

EJ is presently working on his ongoing black and white film photography project – DuPage in Black and White, as well as a photo project documenting Kane County Illinois.
