Born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Tom always had an itch to head West. In 1991 he quit his job as a newspaper reporter and sold most of his possessions, which wasn't much, since he lost everything he owned in a 1987 fire.
He hit the road with a few essentials, which included a camera, a mountain bike, a pair of skis, a kayak, a snowboard and a six-man toboggan.
He arrived in Park City, UT. in the Fall of 1991, and like so many others, has remained in the area.
The second is "hot press" and causes the image to lie completely flat. However, this process can cause the print to breakdown prematurely.
He has now added custom frames to order. These frames are handcrafted with half-lap cornering and are made from wood of your choosing.
Everything
used in the mounting
process is
acid-free, right down to the ink used to sign the photos.
He uses mostly Fuji Velvia iso 50 slide film. This format allows for 30 x 40 enlargements while still maintaining a tight grain.
All prints are on Fuji Crystal Archival paper, known
for its longevity and color saturation.

He started
shooting with a Nikon FM. He
acquired a Mamiya 7 II medium format camera in 1999. He also had the good
fortune of finding
his dog Quest in the same year. Their fist stop, the Canadian Rockies. Together they continue to photograph their travels.
Knuckle Head a bit older
and is no longer available.
All images are available in a "mounted only" format, allowing for individual choice
in the matting and framing.
I hope an image has moved you in some way and remember:
"Natures beauty- Escape to it at any time from any place."
