Tommy Bass' photostream
|
Born and raised in New York, I've been taking pictures for a long time. There's so many things in our day to day lives which may seem mundane but there's actually beauty and art all around us wherever we may live and work. There's enough corruption and hatred in the world already that photography has become a way for me to focus on the beauty that still remains in the world. Don't get down on the world, get a camera instead!
I started studying photography 6 years ago.
Photography hasn't been easy but the rewards are truly great when you get it right. I have fun, that's the bottom line! There's something that's still so appealing about capturing special moments in photographs.
The results have been pleasing so far and I hope to continue to advance my photography skills while continuing to enjoy the other fantastic photographers here on Flickr.
I shoot Nikon digital and film SLR's and I also use a Leica R5 film SLR.

Shot by Inspiration says:
"I have to say that I am very jealous but not envious of this mans talent. Tommy as the ability to Feel images instead of just looking at them. He can take any ordinary subject and transform them into a heartfelt memory locked in time. I praise him for using FILM and keeping the old processing techniques ALIVE.
His optimism and creative outlook are just some of his strengths and used as a Shield & Sword In the Art Community. I always learn from his creative feed back , questionable commentaries and informative notes. He is an artist , a teacher , and a great friend. There is not many people I look up to , but Tommy is defiantly one of the lucky few I consider great inspiration and an idol.

" Tommy has the ability to make brilliant compositions out of the most challenging of landscapes. His works range from the land to the sky and everything in between, with stunning detail and amazing precision I continuously look to his work for inspiration and originality that only Tommy can create.
Tommy has a true passion for photography, if he's not uploading a photo into his photo-stream he will be viewing and commenting on other peoples works, regularly supporting his fellow photographers. One of the most generous of photographers I have personally received many invites and awards from Tommy throughout my photo-stream.
His enthusiasm and amazing outlook towards photography is contagious. Thank you for being a contact and a true inspiration to us all.

nobleup Coming Back Slowly says:
" Tommy is a bright, creative, energetic, individual. I always look forward to His posts. I know they will be of the highest quality, perfectly executed, creative, and unique to Tommy.
As a contact, Tommy is fantastic. He is extremely supportive and encouraging.
Tommy shoots with film as opposed to digital. Film has a difficulty factor of 10 over digital. You must have a conceptual knowledge of the relationship of ISO, aperture, shutter speed, film emulsions...and on and on. If there is something Tommy hasn't mastered (I know of nothing), rest assured He will.
I consider it an honor to be Tommy's contact. His work inspires Me to strive for better photography...to improve My skills, and to always appreciate the works of others.
Do Yourself a favor, take the time to browse Tommy's photostream. You will be rewarded by seeing some of the most beautiful and artistic photography and, just a bit of Tommy's heart and soul. His work is unique unto itself. A true breath of fresh air.

"Tommy has one heck of an eye when it comes to photography and what's amazing is all the great variation to his porfolio here on flickr. From flowers to land scape,city scapes,still life and so much more as it all draws the viewer in and holds there attention. Whats really amazing is Tommy and I grew up together and i sat before in amazement of the photographer only to come and find out he also is a friend who i haven't seen or been in contact with for almost twenty years , So if you get a chance check out a person with an excellent eye for composition, an eye for detail and a never ending imagination who i will bug for some tips and who i am proud to call an old friend!
Cheers to you Tommy"16th May, 2008

"Tommy is a real standup kinda guy.
He is a skilled photographer who appears to savor other people's shots just as much as his own. He's quick with a good word and I continue to anticipate his photo contributions to Flickr, as they are usually a bevy of aesthetically pleasing captures.
Tommy has a good eye & hand with film cameras."28th March, 2008
