Eric Cheng is the editor and publisher of <a href="http://wetpixel.com">Wetpixel.com</a>, the premiere online community for underwater photographers. Hosting thousands registered underwater photographers internationally, Wetpixel's friendly community offers breaking news, reviews, features, community forums, image galleries, photo contests, photo expeditions, and more. In 2007, Eric launched <a href="http://wetpixelquarterly.com">Wetpixel Quarterly</a>, a landscape print magazine featuring the best in underwater photography. In both online and print endeavors, Eric strives to provides a forum for photographers to share their work and discuss ocean-related issues, and in turn, educate viewers about the beauty and fragility of the marine ecosystem. Caught between technical and creative worlds, Eric holds bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science from Stanford University, where he also studied classical cello performance. Eric was a relative latecomer to the marine industry. He became a certified SCUBA diver in 1995 and took a camera underwater for the first time in 2001. Since that first dip with a camera, he has become a widely-published, award-winning underwater photographer known worldwide for his passion as an educator. In 2003, Eric was awarded a prestigious Antibes Festival award for his work with Wetpixel.com, the Antibes underwater imaging web site of the year, and in 2005, he won a category in the prestigious Nature's Best Magazine photo competition, which has placed some of his work in the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum. Through Wetpixel Expeditions, Eric leads regular photography expeditions and workshops around the world. He has given seminars and lectures internationally at events such as the Boston Sea Rovers Clinic, DEMA, Digital Shootouts, Kona Classic, Scuba Diving Magazine events, and others. Eric is also involved in ocean conservation, and is technical advisor and photographer for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
