  Tom is a wonderful guy and has been a great sounding board for me. Thank you Tom for being someone I can talk to when I feel like I have no one left who understands me!

  "Tom=Creative. I can't believe the poor guy has to go to work and be a lawyer all day. He should be working in L.A. or N.Y. in an advertising agency. He is so damn creative, funny, not afraid to be a little creepy (I'm an artist so that is cool with me). He's very good technically with photo editing. Besides his self portraits, he also does some great location shoots that look like something out of a David Lynch film. But what I like best is his sense of humor. It shines through in nearly every shot he takes. And the damn guy even made me jump for his Jumpology Flickr Group for about 6-7 of my self portraits this last year. That is a true art and he's the king. Thanks for your inspiration, Tom. You're the best! xox Barb"

  "I found Tom through the Flickr 64 Challenge group. His long exposure shots blow me away. He photographs the sky like nobody I've ever seen. Pretty much all of his shots leave me staring, cocking my head from side to side, trying to figure out how he did it and how I could try to duplicate it. His photography is an inspiration, and he's also a ridiculously cool guy. Killer combo."

  "=Tom= is actually one of the very first people I came in contact with through FGR. I remember seeing his photo of banana juggling with aviator goggle and thought to myself "Holy Cookies! This guy is genius!". I love his ability to make the everyday world seem slightly surreal, and he has the best collection of ties and dress shirts on Flickr (hands down!). He has handed me so much inspiration. I even copycatted one of his shots :)
  
  Lately I have been inspired by his night shots (especially those at the train station!). I recommend taking some time and clicking through his stream. There is so much there to enjoy. He is a chameleon that can take beautiful, poignant pictures one day, and silly goofy pictures the next. Thank you Tom for sharing your work!"

  "I don't even remember how or when I found Tom's photostream but I am so glad I did! He's quickly become one of my favorite people on Flickr and I love going through his photos every day. He is a master of night photography, self-portraits and I absolutely adore his IR work. He produces so many stunning images that it's hard to pick a favorite. He's also one of the sweetest guys I've met on here and I enjoy our many conversations."

  "I started following Tom when another contact had him in his "Wednesday Contact Showcase" linked me...and just then he was doing his "June is for Jumping" and although I'm new to his stuff I am completely addicted - from the jumps to the props, the bling to the straight forward, he's fantastic. I just love his attitude, and look forward to catching up on his stream everyday...simple pleasures for simple minds (well, my mind at least!! ) :D Thanks for being awesome xXx"

  "Tom is an awesome flickr mate : talented (he definetely masters the lights, and so many things I don't know yet), creative (and never afraid to play with his own image) and respectful (if you write a comment on his page, he will write back on yours). It's really inspiring to look at his work, and it's a pleasure to discover it every day ! Thanks Tom !"

  "Tom has the "F" factor.
  He puts the "FffUN" in Fflickr.....
  and his family too.
  Plus...he's a bit bonkers...
  ...in a good way....and
  he knows his way around a camera.
  What more do you want?"

  "=Tom= is, by far, THE sharpest dressed men on flickr day in and day out. Whether it’s a heartfelt photo of his sons, surfing on picnic tables or giving us one of his trademark goofy faces, I never get tired of visiting his stream. He makes me laugh. He makes me think. He makes me laugh and think at the same time which often results in a headache… and he makes me think that lawyers can’t be all THAT bad… which also gives me a headache… but in all honesty, I love the artfulness of =Tom’s= photography and I appreciate of him sharing it with all of us."

  "One hell of an original Dude. I'm glad to have fallen upon your profile (browsing in "most intersting"... it was the Doc's). You're photographer is more than true. I like it, it motivates me to have fun with my new toy, Canon Rebel babeh!
  Take care Tom, all the best to you, your wife & the cuties for 2009."

  "I met =Tom= from quilting - that’s another story. He is the funniest guy and has an incredible, unusual sense of humor - totally beyond compare. I love checking everyday to see what he’ll come up with next. He’s definitely in a class by himself even though it may be just a little too much information (see his videos) but always interesting. Go check his stuff out…it’s so worth it."

  "I watched Tom's dancing video about 2,457 times, sent the link to my favorite Flickr contacts and they thanked me for that. I dig Tom and his photos so much. They make me smile on a daily basis. Not only is Tom a smart lawyer dude, but he loves his sweet little family and takes rockin' pics. Flikcr is seriously a better, funner, cooler place with Tom in it."

  "What can i say about Elvis.. I mean Tom? His pictures are amazing and touching at times. He has stellar talent and i LOVE coming to his stream every day like the stalker i am. Hes one of a kind and i can easily say that without him i would have for sure quit my 365 at probably day 100 if not sooner. So thank you buddy, friend, pal! You are awesome and amazing. Please, please keep taking pictures. I'll be a sad panda if you dont =]"

  "Hmmmm....Tom....what to say....
  Seriously...It has all been said...but I shall reiterate the high points.
  Tom kicks ass.
  Tom has talent.
  Tom was the coolest kid on the short bus.
  Tom is (remarkably) sweet.
  Ah...yes...and he's talented.
  
  :) If you don't know him yet....you should."

  "Tom is a fun, cool cat. I add my voice to those of the hords chanting: 'Tom, Tom, Tom'. I throw my knickers at him (or wear them on my head, whatever turns him on)...
  
  =Tom= is a creative photographer with the skills to carry off his crazy, whimsical visions. He is also a gentleman and a friend to so many flickr novices and pros alike. I am priviledged to have run across his work."

  "Tom is the sexiest silly person I have ever known. He is also damn good with his camera (d300, grrrr...camera envy) and is the personification of wide angle Wednesdays. Seriously -- this guy has an amazing well of creativity and I'm sure a great deal has yet to be tapped into. He just finished his 365 project, and I'm pretty sure I have fave'd more of his shots than anyone else's. Be sure to check out his photography, you'll be sorry if you don't :P"

  Pocu says:

  "I'm really amazed at how determined Tom was to never miss a day from his 365 project! A man of his word! And he not only never missed a day, he also gave everything he could to be the best! And he is one of the best FGRs I've seen! He has great and fun but thoughtful ideas! And they are all very well executed! Great Photoshop skills!
  It's always very entertaining to look thru his stream and very hard to leave!"

  ~evelet~ says:

  "I cannot quite understand why I like =Tom= so much. It does not compute. He's rude. He's a lawyer. He's a bossy asshat. He's twisted. He has more toys than me. He looks better in a 'tache than me. He has way too many fans who love everything about him. He takes pictures of his cute kids that I actually like, despite hating children. He's good at this photography thing, despite all the stupidity.
  
  And yet I still believe he is a nice bloke and I love his pictures. I always know there is going to be something to test my expectations, be that the picture or the words. I always come back for more."

  [Leslie] says:

  "Since it is his last day of his 365 Project and his FGR day, it seems only appropriate to leave a testimonial for him. I haven't been viewing his photo stream for long because I just got involved in FGR, but I quickly learned that he is absolutely one of the bravest people I've seen on Flickr!"

  "=Tom='s photostream is pure, undiluted awesome. I'm a little afraid of his brain, frankly. That much twisted creativity could be dangerous in the wrong hands. Fortunately, =Tom= seems to have harnessed his awesomeness superpowers for Good instead of Evil. All the better for you. Go explore his photos and behold the glory that is =Tom=."

Thanks Tom, for your wonderful work. It's inspired me. It's brightened my day and made me laugh. It's let us catch a glimpse into your world and get to know you and your family.
  
  Please don't go changin'.."

  "Tom is a ballbuster...us new FGR'ers havent enough fellow contacts to write THREE whole testimonials. So...he has to sacrifice precious space on his profile for this gal to complete this fucking challenge.
  
  And...have a nice day....
  
  Oh...and he does one hell of a Salmon Dance...and his 365 is something we should all aspire to and have the creative momentum to complete. I hope it doesnt end with tomorrow..."

  Emily Christine. says:

  "Oh, what to say about Tom...just that since the first time I looked into FGR's wacky world I noticed his little icon with his feet in the air, like he just don't care, and I knew I would have to check out his stream. I've been quite addicted from then on. definitely someone i check everyday, and will miss after his 365 is over, which is in very few days! I love everything he does, from his crazy awesome jumps to the pure art he produces. It's always a pleasure to see the newest photograph, with each better than the last.
  
  Tom you are one amazing photographer, and did I mention dancer?"

  "I can't stand Tom. At all. Not only does he make fun of my Cubs and find other ways to harass and tease, but everyday that I view his stream I find myself slipping into unhealthy levels of jealousy. He shots are phenomenal. Creative, funny, thought-provoking.
  
  Put it this way: when one of my non-Flickr friends asks me what it is I like about Flickr, I always take them to Tom's stream. 'Nuff said."

  Mogsterr says:

  "I have to admit, I honestly look forward to seeing Tom's creative ideas for his photos each day. It's rare to find a photographer who is so talented, funny, and so kind to others. There are so many "pro photographers" out there in the flickr world that just receive comments and hardly care about other people's photos. Tom is different, he takes the initiative to help out a newbie (like me) :) and gives helpful feedback and comments that are encouraging. This has been a tremendous help for me and has allowed me to become a stronger and more confident photographer. Thanks!"

  "Only being 46 days into my 365 at the time I'm writing this, one of my favorite things to do is go through others older pics to see what kind of stuff they did during their year. Having done so on several of my contacts, Tom's is one of those 365 that stands out for several reasons.
  
  First, he is just hilariously goofy looking sometimes (sorry Tom, i mean that in a good way) and they make his pics stand out.
  
  Second, he is a Flickr Badass for sure.
  
  Third, his progression has been awesome, especially if you look at the editing he's done lately...
  
  Fourth, in his more candid pics, he just has this "real guy" quality that people can appreciate.
  
  Not to be any more sappy than I already have been, but thanks for the inspiration =Tom=."

  "Tom's pictures conjure the child in us all, even us attorneys! I first saw Tom's photos several months ago when I was debating to jump into FGR. What I noticed was his off the wall sense of humor and his determination to do just about anything for a pic. But I also noticed photos other than his FGR submissions. His seascapes, for example, are impeccable. Tom has it all humor, seriousness, emotions...for he is a true photographer."

  "I always know before I even click the link to Tom's stream that I will smile. His expressive face is just a tiny part of what makes his photography so appealing. He has an eye for composition and a killer instinct when it comes to what will work and won't work in a shot. I'm not just inspired when I hit Tom's stream, I learn stuff. Tom is filled with awesome."

  "Thomas' pictures are in a word: fantastic! They are savvy, cutting edge, and unique. I find that he is constantly capturing beauty in the most overlooked of places, which is a rare skill indeed. His photographs, mind and spirit, challenge us to view ourselves in a different light. In this regard Thomas has met high expectations and I suspect his skills will take him as far as he chooses to go in this brilliant field! Bravo!!"
