Taking pocket camera snapshots since 2007 (SonyRX since 2014; nice). Mundane stuff, usually on local shopping trips nowadays. *Check out my curated albums versus overstuffed photostream.........................

*No strictness at all about anybody using my photos for articles or embedding, just as long as it links back here or credited to "anothertom on Flickr".

I used to take tons of family cat pics in the past (see albums), especially Ziggy; a male cat. Found as a kitten in Coralville Iowa January 2nd 2007 (still alive 2022). Mother & I picked him up at an intersection stop sign in the bitter cold; he walked up to the car casually. Big cat now; surprisingly grew twice as big after that; over 14lbs now. The other cats in older pics; Muffy, Peanut, Murphy, & Marshmellow passed due to health problems and age. Recently Mowser, a neighborhood cat taken inside Sept 2017.

Born in New Jersey 1981. Living in small town Iowa since Sept 2006.

- note: This stream very much shows my Taurus 6th house Sun combined with Sagittarius Moon habits :)

note: I choose "offthegrid" as an address erratically on a whim; confusing, I'm obviously not "off the grid"; funny.

First camera was Kodak Easy Share C530 in late 2006

Then a Kodak Easy Share C1013 in late July 2009

Just got a Canon Power Shot S95 as a gift Dec 2010; very nice!

Yet another camera! Extremely nice Sony RX100 MII as of June 2014. Very Impressive.
