PRINT PRODUCTS: Framed and Matted fine art prints - Metal prints - Acrylic prints - Canvas gallery wraps - and in some cases 5x7 Greeting Cards. If you prefer to order a loose print (unframed) to have it framed yourself that is also a purchase option.
SIGNED ARTIST STATEMENTS: Thomas is happy to provide you with a signed artist statement upon request with any Fine Art print purchase. We believe your Fine Art purchase is an investment to be enjoyed for decades and having a signed Artist statement is a form of a 'Certificate of Authenticity' to preserve your investment and affix to the back of your artwork. Simply go to the CONTACT link near Tom's profile photo and provide us with the title of the artwork and a mailing address and we will cheerfully mail you the statement at no charge.
ABOUT: Tom is a freelance professional photographer of Fine Art and Stock images. A lifetime naturalist, he loves the outdoors and feels a responsibility to use his skills to create awareness of our treasured resources and scenic landscapes. He specializes in scenic landscapes, nature, abstract and semi-abstract in nature. Thomas creates unique and expressive landscapes with a style all his own. He resides in the scenic Litchfield Hills of northwestern Connecticut. Capturing the essence and pace of time of his native New England is his single most passionate subject. Tom is a juried member of the 'New England Photographers Guild'
ARTIST STATEMENT: My goal is to create original Fine Art Photographs. I concentrate on selling 'Quality over Quantity' and meeting the high standards set for Fine Art Photographers. The process is characterized by attention to detail and deliberate actions, being observant to capture the scene in appropriate lighting. Every image is a composite of combining technical excellence and being artistically inspiring. I do not allow the camera to make decisions for me, as it is a cold mechanical device that does not express my passion or feelings for the scene before me.
Capturing the key ingredients of a dynamic composition is quite exhilarating. An interesting subject, dramatic lighting and visual impact are some of the ingredients I seek out. The images I create share my unique personal vision for the subject before me. I am in awe of nature and deeply influenced to connect with people through my photography.
STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY: I am a 'rights managed' photographer, meaning I do not allow others to represent my work or negotiate license agreements. I respond to all inquires about using my photography cheerfully and diligently when I am approached in a professional and courteous manner. Requesting use of my work in return for a 'photo credit' is NOT considered proper on any level. My rates are fair and affordable. When inquiring about using my photography for any purpose, I request you provide me with very specific details about your project or publication. Thank you for your patience.

Seascapes - Harbors and Lighthouse Art
New England is such a diverse region and is identified in many different ways. The harbors, seaports and lighthouses define a whole different way of life from those who live and work in the idyllic small towns and mountain regions inland. In my travels throughout New England I try to capture something of interest from every aspect of life and apply my own signature to make for a suitable artwork. *Note from the artist* A fine art purchase is an investment that should be enjoyed for decades. To help preserve your investment, we will be happy to provide you with a signed Artist Statement for any purchase. Please use the "contact" link near my profile image and email a mailing address along with the artwork "title" you purchased.
