A few people have asked me how I would describe the photographs I take. The following remark by Elliot Erwitt sums up my thinking on photography:
"...Good photography is not about 'Zone Printing' or any other Ansel Adams nonsense. It's about seeing. You either see, or you don't see. The rest is academic. Photography is simply a function of noticing things."
I enjoy shooting film, walking, surfing waves and fly fishing.

"What draws me to Thomas' Work is his LOVE of B&W Film
pushing the Boundaries between Light & Dark
and the way he portrays Intimate Day to Day Moments
I have learned quite abit from his varied use of lenses to film/developing
combos ...To a friend and an Inspiration
