A personal note from Tom:
I
am inspired by the physical characteristics of any subject and how history
is presented, and the future implied by the conditions of a singular moment. The resulting images reflect these perceptions, expressed through the constraining, yet fluid syntax of photography.
Using a camera seriously since about 1976 when I lived in Upper New York State, I made my first picture with Kodachrome 25 and a 30 year old Argus C-3 camera given to me by my father. He was a compulsive amateur photographer whose father was compulsive amateur photographer. I was 23 years old.

My personal artwork attempts to convey the visual and metaphorical qualities
of every subject, while downplaying the technical processes and extreme stylistic excesses so
common in 21st Century photography. A contradiction lies in my
exclusive use of 21st Century processes while exhibiting an almost 15th
Century aesthetic.
I have a great affinity for those subtly beautiful contiguous
moments, available to any interested observer, which are often missed in the
din and press of modern life. I work to re-present these moments as faithfully
as possible in the final image, whether the printed page or a digital display.
Exhibiting my images as artworks since 1986, I have also worked as a professional photographer since 1994, exclusively so since
2001.
