The Caelum Directive

Set in the near future, a solitary deep-space mission takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious signal draws Caelum toward a discovery with implications far beyond his original directive.

Photography

Landscape remains at the heart of my photography, but curiosity takes me much further — from wild landscapes and night skies to cities, motorsport, travel and the unexpected moments found along the way.

Real World Photography.

Conversations with photographers about the impact photography has on their lives, the images they make, and the places photography takes them.

Writing

Science fiction is the newest branch of my creative work, beginning with The Caelum Directive and continuing with stories that explore discovery, first contact, and our place in a much larger universe.

Stories that explore
what might be.
