Nil Sine Numine: Where the Light Rests is a photographic journey through light, atmosphere, and the quiet wonder of the natural world. Moving from first light and distant mountains to mist-filled woods, intimate details, twilight peaks, and familiar local landscapes, the book follows a visual arc of exploration and return.
Inspired by the sense of wonder found in fantasy literature and guided by short epigraphs at the beginning of each section, this collection invites the viewer to slow down, look closely, and discover how light can transform both the extraordinary and the familiar.

New Workshop
Lightroom Classic Editing for Landscape Photography
October 28 – December 9, 2026 | Online
Good editing isn't about pushing sliders, it is about translating what you saw and felt in the field into the finished photograph. In this six-session online class, we'll build a complete Lightroom Classic-based workflow for landscape photography, from organizing and developing your files to advanced masking, panoramas, exposure blending, and selected Photoshop techniques.
Editing your images is an indispensable part of your photography as an art. With the advancements in software such as Lightroom you no longer need to be a Photoshop expert in order to get the most out of your images.
Join me for a six (6) online sessions (2-2.5hr each) as we will go through the capabilities in Lightroom. I will guide you through the basics of cataloging and organizing your images, explain what the different sliders do, and teach you how to use basic and advanced masking techniques for precise control. One session of the class will be devoted to specialty uses of Photoshop, such as focus stacking, creating the Orton effect, and some creative exposure blending. Last session of the class will be devoted to editing your images from start to finish.
Sessions will be recorded and available for participants together with the image files after the class

The Age of Stone approaches stone as a quiet and enduring presence, shaped by forces that move beyond human time. Pressures accumulate, release, and return, leaving behind surfaces that feel less formed than remembered. Folds, fractures, and mineral traces become a kind of slow language, where motion is no longer seen, only sensed. The images listen for what the matter carries: the subtle, persistent echo of events too vast and too gradual to witness, yet never fully gone.

In this artist talk, I share some of the ideas, experiences, and influences that have shaped my journey as a landscape photographer.
I discuss how I approach landscape photography, the importance of light and atmosphere, and the challenge of moving beyond simply photographing a beautiful place toward creating images that express something more personal.
I also reflect on my development as a photographer and artist—the importance of putting your work out into the world, learning from successes and failures, and continuing to develop your own photographic voice.
This talk was recorded at the Small Stones Festival of the Arts (https://smallstonesfestival.org/) in Grafton, Massachusetts.
