There is beauty in everything, it is our job as photographers to find it and present it to the masses. -me

I am modest enough to admit that I am not the greatest photographer in the world. But I'm working on it when and where I can, and have been fortunate enough to meet some really great people on flickr that have helped me out along the way with advice, critiques and all around fun.

***Danger: Some people may find this next paragraph offensive!***

Some of my pictures lately have been a little on the dark or negative side, if you don't like that, too bad! I'm shooting what works for me. If you want something in particular, you're gonna have to earn it. By that I mean either I think enough of you to make an attempt to appease your taste, or you're going to have to shell out some cash and we'll work something out! So for the time being, I'll keep on shooting in good moods and in bad.

I enjoy taking pictures, just as I enjoy looking at everyone else's work that is posted on flickr. There are so many talented photographers on flickr, and I hope to join the ranks one day....one close of the shutter at a time!

Eventually I'd love to get paid for my photos, I just need to find the right crowd that is interested in my work. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of my work.

Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me and for looking at some of my work. Please leave a comment or critique, or even drop me a line via FlickrMail, I'd love to hear from you!

If you enjoy my work add me as a contact. Everyone that does I try to return the gesture if I like what you have posted on your photostream.

"Thomas is an excellent photographer! His unique way of storytelling takes his images to a new level. He is one of the few Flickr peeps out there that is strong enough to share his feelings which brings us closer to him. Thomas has a strong command of black and white images and uses props, light and interesting scenes to create more power into his work.

I'm thrilled to call him a friend as we live in the same town and had the opportunity to spend some time together getting to know one another. He is a dear heart.

Take the time to enjoy his stream of goodness and you will be inspired to dig deeper into yourself as he does so well."

"Since I first met Thomas, he has given me a lot to think about. His work has been a real inspiration to me. Thomas has a knack for finding the right comp and working with it until he gets it right. His use of light is excellent. I hope to someday get together with Thomas and do some shooting. Take a look at his work. He won't disappoint you."

"I really like his sets and especially his sense of humor with the photos and the captions, very creative. Where else can you find Manny doing his thing or a gas mask series that just makes you laugh. The burlesque isn't too bad either. Nice work my friend and please keep it up. ---Mark"
