Biography

While hosting a party in 2009, Eric Telchin photographed a heart-shaped puddle of melted ice cream on his kitchen counter. He began capturing more naturally occurring hearts with his iPhone. In 2010, he launched Boy Sees Hearts, a project showcasing the thousands of unaltered heart photos. In December, 2012, Dial Books for Young Readers (an imprint of the Penguin Young Readers Group) published his book, See a Heart, Share a Heart, a 48-page picture book featuring 214 of images from Telchin's collection, paired with loose, interpretive text.

Telchin grew up in Niskayuna, New York and graduated magna cum laude from George Washington University as a Presidential Arts Scholar in 2000. After graduation, he worked at ABC News as a broadcast designer and for Washingtonpost.com as a Senior Designer.

Telchin currently resides in West Palm Beach, Florida.
