  "I met "Lampy" for the first time last weekend when we crossed paths while we were out capturing rail photos/videos. He had photographed the same train that I was videoing but from a different location. He later drove up and introduced himself. We had a nice conversation before going on our separate ways. I've seen and enjoyed his past photos and look forward to seeing more.

  "When it comes to making what might be a dull subject shine and step out Tom has a way of making Trains and rails in to art and a joy to view.
  Not that Tom restricts his subject to that alone. He stretches his art to cover so many varieties of subjects from people to colors and beyond. Each day I look forward to seeing something not only interesting but something beautiful as seen though Tom's eyes. Thank you Tom for sharing your Art with me. Each piece adds to my day and puts some more beauty into my world."

  "Tom is just about the most consistently dedicated photog on flickr...he goes after those trains (& while waiting wastes no time in photo-ing things around him!).....he gets the train shots that I just love to see. My interest in the rails has grown because of him.
  
  Just browse thru his stream, you'll find a wonderful shot every time. He is a good friend that I care about......he is in the back of my head every day, esp when I hear the train whistle at night from my front porch! Thanks for being YOU!!!!"

  "I grew up in Illinois and I met Tom in the mid-sixties. He was then, as he is now, a straight shooter with an eye for beauty (he liked me, after all!). It has been many years since I've been back to the midwest, but whenever I view Tom's Flick'r page I am reminded what a special place it is. I'm glad he picked up that first camera...aren't you? When you look at his photos you also have a look into his heart."

  "Tom is an excellent photographer, and more importantly, a man of character. I am proud to count Tom as my friend, and grateful for the friendship that he shows others.
  
  May the love of God, the fellowship Tom's friends, and the inner spirit serve to sustain Tom through his journeys, and may his photographs, comments, and postings continue to bring joy to others.
  
  There's nothing like taking a photograph of a roaring diesel at 10 below at dawn, to bring peace and joy to one's soul!
  
  Rock on, Tom!!!!
  Jon"
