On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Eric Thompson, a Las Vegas–based photographer whose work captures the rhythm, grit, and stories of downtown life.

Eric’s journey into photography is not just about images, it’s about transformation. He credits photography with helping him overcome alcoholism, providing not only a creative outlet but also a new lens through which to view life, resilience, and purpose.

From the streets of downtown Las Vegas to the deeper personal journey behind the camera, Eric’s story is a powerful reminder of how art can change lives.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Eric’s journey into photography and sobriety

• How the streets of downtown Las Vegas inspire his work

• The connection between art, resilience, and recovery

• Why photography gave him a new perspective on life

• His latest project and upcoming documentary
