 "Great feedback on the book! I'd like to submit again."
Larry Hamill, photographer

"You are doing good work, Tom, providing a service to the industry. Photography has many sides, one of them being as a workhorse. Those in the fine art sector who look down on commercial work simply don't know their history. The photographers I admire most, Edward Steichen, W. Eugene Smith, James Fee, Christian Boltanski, worked commercially in order to realize their fine art—along with countless others in editorial or stock work. I’ve known few worthy photographers outside this model."
Carol McCusker, Ph.D., Curator, Museum of Photographic Arts

"Thank you so much.The book looks amazing. I am still overwhelmed that my images are next to other photographers' amazing work. I feel a bit under pressure to keep up, but I am honored to be part of it all."
