Welcome to Tom's Art Gallery!

An eclectic collection of
the photos and works of.....

Established 2000 AD
Shelbyville, Illinois USA

I love to take pictures. I take lots of pictures. Only a few ever get saved.
What is it that makes something photogenic? What do I look for in a good picture?
I look for a pattern of light and dark that touches my mind in pleasing manner.
Every picture has an optimum framing.....revealing just that neccesary to convey the
message, no more and no less.  The right distance to provide good proportion without
losing too much detail. 
     But the subjects....where to find subjects......hmmmm.....the answer is.....
they are all around us.  You just have to watch for them. *smile*
