After months of work, the Editions of Epoch Ephemeral are now complete

Complete Portfolio · Trade Editions · Hand-Bound Editions

Working on this series, that has captivated me for three years was a true labor of love. Each volume is available in three distinct editions:

  • Collectors Edition — Volumes I & II (Tier one sold out)

  • Trade Edition — Volume I & II

  • Hand-Bound Editions — Volumes I & II


Collectors Edition — Volumes I & II

The Collector’s Edition comprises two linen-covered books, beautifully finished with silver embossing, accompanied by an original Platinum Palladium Print. Each book is hand-bound, creating a refined and tactile presentation of Epoch Ephemeral: Visual Poetry, Volumes I & II. The platinum print is individually numbered and signed, making this a truly special edition for collectors of fine-art photography and book arts.


IMAGES — Volumes II

Alongside other pinhole cameras, such as the ONDU 35mm, I began incorporating lo-fi tools with plastic lenses, including the Holga 120N and Diana F+, whose diffused, dreamlike rendering further expanded the visual language of the work. Volume II became Camera Eclectica, a collection of images made with a variety of cameras yet united by a common pursuit: creating photographs that hold memory as we experience it, indistinct, atmospheric, and always in flux.

In contrast to the first Volume, I paired the images with my favorite eighteenth- and nineteenth-century poetry, which has long been a source of inspiration. I am as inspired by words as I am by images, and I believe they go hand in hand.


Each distinct edition of Epoch Ephemeral offers something for everyone—from collectors drawn to the artistry and craftsmanship of the limited editions to photographers inspired by the images, processes, and cameras explored throughout the series.
