Portrait session with Tom Nichols.

I had the great fortune to photograph writer, essayist, commentator, former professor, academic, (and 5 time Jeopardy champion) Tom Nichols at his home near Newport, RI.
No one has written more clearly and soberly about the dangers of our current political climate than Tom, and I encourage everyone to read his Atlantic columns as well as the ‘should-be-mandatory-reading’ “The Death of Expertise”. And no single person has helped me make sense of the last 6 years more than Mr. Nichols, no small feat given the avalanche of articles, podcasts, books and videos that proliferate since Trump’s election.
Much gratitude to @radiofreetom and Lynn for their hospitality and kindness, and for letting make some portraits!
