Podcast Description
The Restoration Obscura Field Guide is a podcast where photography and history converge to uncover the stories time tried to erase. Through restored images, archival research, and immersive storytelling, we explore the hidden corners of the past—from the backroads of Upstate New York to forgotten places across the nation and around the world.
Each episode uses photography and historical restoration as a lens to preserve memory, rediscover lost narratives, and bring overlooked history back into focus. These are the stories that deserve to be remembered—told with care, curiosity, and an eye for the forgotten.

Season Two of the Restoration Obscura Field Guide Podcast is here.
In this new chapter, we go deeper into the histories that hide in plain sight—forgotten infrastructure, vanished towns, Cold War secrets, and the cultural echoes that still shape our present. Expect immersive stories, archival discoveries, and a closer look at how memory and place are tied together.
Alongside the podcast, I’ve also released my book, Field Guide to the Night—an exploration of darkness as both a physical reality and a cultural force, from skywatchers and wartime blackouts to Cold War surveillance.
