As a lifelong photographer, Tom considers himself lucky to have experienced the many varied possibilities that the art form has propagated. The opportunity to teach while living abroad sparked his passion, and the subsequent combination of the two disciplines has been an important personal journey ever since.  More recently, the move from still to time-based work brought him new challenges which continue to engage, excite, and motivate him toward new visual possibilities.
