If you're interested, I'm 5' 9", apolitical, single, a non-denominational minister, a Florida Notary Public, I don't vote, a 2-tour Viet Nam Vet that welcomes home all his Sisters and Brothers, disabled without regret, and happy to help whenever you feel like asking. But I don't read minds and I don't interrupt when you're talking or asking questions, so you have to tell me what you want and what you need if you're going to be one of my lifetime students.

Thanks to the support I receive from my ever-faithful students around the globe, TPC is "on the road" discovering new ways of presenting photographic techniques to the world, even with the price of fuel these days. I have added new images for clarification of certain subject matter, as well as adding some variety to the images you may still be trying to duplicate (flatter us, please!) as seen in the Tips & Tricks tab and Tom's Latest Photos on my HomePage.

Now, get off your duffs, buy some fresh film or grab a clean memory card, dust off your photo-log, and get to shooting stuff that will convince us that you paid attention to all our Email explanations and editing critiques. Try ISO's or brands of film or speeds of memory cards with which you've yet to take the time to experiment (new varieties of each are being introduced almost daily), and learn or ask us how to apply and use new methods and tools with your editing software. Pay attention, re-read chapters that didn't previously apply to your style, and take that road's detour that never seemed to offer interest to your portfolio. You ARE putting a portfolio together, aren't you? Okay, we'll back up a bit with you and go over that part again as many times as it takes.

Impress us, enlighten us with your Website images, show us you care, but at the very least, show us your images; afterall, we show you ours!

Thanks, really.
Tom
TPC
