Orbiting Sol's photostream
|
hello to all!
it has been a few months for me now riding the photo sharing transport mechanism called flickr.
thank you to all of you for the comments, good - bad - and indifferent. just to have someone take the time to view an image of mine is a treat - it inspires one to do more and to pull deeper and reach higher.
thank you too for your postings - so much incredible talent - i am continually humbled and amazed.
if you visit my stream, please do post a comment - an honest one please. I always try to return the favor.
our solar system's sun is named "Sol", so hence i chose my screen name "Orbiting Sol", a play on "orbiting soul"
as always, have a most wonderful day.
every day is a new day where we chose the path for tomorrow.
tom

"Tom, aka Orbiting Sol, is one of the most unique and creative photographers I know - inspiring, intelligent and poetic.
Always a step ahead in his processing and photographic technique.
Tom's photographic talents are broad, and he possesses a fabulous body of creative work. For me, some of Tom's best work is encapsulated in his "Unusuals" set - a collection of incredibly imaginative and highly-skilled surreal works.
All visitors must explore this set!! Although I know you will find yourselves returning time and again to discover others and the latest gem from this great creative mind!
Thanks Tom for being such an inspirational friend and contact!

"Tom is, quite simply, one of the most original and talented photographers/artists I have encountered here at Flickr. His work is always a joy to see, and I'm forever wondering 'how did he do that?!' He also gives supportive, constructive comments; often with great humour. I'm glad I discovered his stream ... he's cool!"

"Tom is the most imaginative and creative photographer I have ever seen. Both his concepts and techniques are unique!!! He has been extremely helpful and supportive to me as a newer Flickr member. Seeing his work and a few other peoples ( especially HDR) got me back into photography again. If you are a SciFi fan you owe it to yourself to visit his photostream!!! You will be amazed!"

Fantascapes says:
"Two months ago, I literally could not have written this. Last year, following multiple major surgeries, I fell into a severe depression and had all but abandoned my passion for Photography. One day, I discovered the work of a Photographer with the curious name of Orbiting Sol. Unable to sit because of the pain, I fashioned a standing workspace where I followed his submissions almost daily. Soon, I too, was a FLICKR member. Thanks to this "Orbiting Sol" person, I now got up in the middle of the night, not because of pain, but to work on a project in Photoshop. I once again had the "looking forward to" sense that drives us all to live. Tom is a digital Shaman. A Wizard. A Jokester. He takes life seriously (Short lived bliss) and gives the universe a wedgie (Slider).
Mostly, Tom is a gift to all of us. Years ago, someone condensed life down to this: People are either toxic or non-toxic. You either feel better or worse after experiencing their Aura. Go to Mr. Sol's site, select Slide show, and let the best of the universe wash over you like an August rain. Jeff"14th May, 2010

PapaDunes says:
"Should you decide to visit Orbiting Sol's Photostream, consider this a warning before you do. The man is not well. I suspect that someone left the asylum door open and he somehow escaped. Rumors have it that he lives inside his camera and sees "reality" from a whole other dimension than the one in which you and I live.
Is he dangerous? Yes, very. Should you wander unsuspectingly into his Photostream, he will inflict untold damage upon your psyche. Never again will you see your "reality" in the same way. He will leave you uncertain about what is really "real". You may even find yourself unable to compose photos because he has so unsettled your universe. Visitors to his Photostream have been seen wandering the streets aimlessly taking photos that are, well, "Sol-ish".
Consider yourself warned. I wish you well.
PapaDunes"14th April, 2010
