“We don't take pictures with our cameras, we take them with our hearts and we take them with our minds, and the camera is nothing more than a tool.” ~ Arnold Newman

Welcome to my flickr photo gallery.

I've been a photographer since I was 8 years old - starting out with my grandmother's Kodak Brownie Junior shooting 620 B&W, then evolving to my first SLR, a Pentax Spotmatic SLR when I was 14.

Right around then, I sold my first shot to a local newspaper. I was hooked - and a camera hasn't been too far from my side since then.

For most of the last 2½ decades, I've worked in a variety of photographic fields: Advertising, catalog, news, stock, all of which I still do - although family and other interests and work have me doing less and less.

My flickr site is mostly personal material but it does supplement my website, where I have more images. Feel free to check it out.

To my friends and contacts: I do try to keep up with everyone's uploads. Sometimes however, I can go a couple of weeks without checking in here so please don't interpret that as neglect.

Thanks for visiting!

Tom
