Our Tomo, Top Gun Guy, top shooter both camera and bike. Chris' work needs no testimonial it speaks loud and clear for itself. Heart and soul wherever he is, "shoots from the hip" with conscience and conviction, just as he shoots from the camera with exuberance, experiment, enthusiasm all infectious. Super sense of humour and a great support. Cares about what he does and makes a difference where he can. That in itself says it all. Too modest by far. His beloved Lakes and west coast are our loss on a daily basis,.. get yourself over here pronto mister! He even rode that monster bike in blinding sleet and hail across country to make one of our meets. No-one who encounters Chris or his inspiring work will leave unenriched....he's what Flickr's about, good sharing, good learning, great fun, and insatiable quest for improving the shoots. Well if you've not got him as contact yet..... ???????????????????? :))))))))))))))))))))))))

What a lad! My great mate Tomo is one of the good guys, full of fun, erring on the cheeky side (ahem) generous of heart and a damned fine photographer. Since landing on Flickr, Tomo's work has exploded in many directions. His enthusiasm is boundless and his taste eclectic - from profoundly soulful landscapes to his beloved bikes. I have enjoyed watching his prolific work grow. There is nothing pretentious about Tomo and this is reflected in his photostream which is as genuine as the lad. I think if I were to go on any more about his virtues, Tomo would shoot me down because that's how he is - endearingly modest. He wouldn't appreciate me saying how fantastically creative and arty farty he is. Nah, he doesn't know how exceptionally good he is. A one to watch ... :) "Antee G"

I've not been on Flickr for long but Chris has been like a shining light to me! He's given me a few pointers and bits of invaluable advice. He has a genuine verve for photography which I must admit is infectious! Keep up the great photos and keep fighting the Power of the awards Chris!! Si

You will not meet a more enthusiastic or productive photographer from the West Coast than Chris. His insatiable passion for holding the camera and pointing at the things he wants to share shines through his photostream in stunning coastal sunsets and lakeland landscapes. Not only a great tog but a character too he's always up for a bit of online 'craic', happy to chat about his experiences behind the camera, discuss technique, provide genuine and considered feedback on the work of others or just have generally good banter. The kind of stuff that makes Flickr social and fun and not just a another flat webspace. Not already added him, then you're probably missing out!
