I am 31 years old and a Father of a 9 year old boy named Brodie.My name is Tommy . We live and I grew up in beautiful Santa Cruz county California overlooking the pristine Monterey bay. I feel very lucky for where I live even though we pay dearly for it! I am surrounded by an abundance of nature's beauty where I live and I have a passion for beauty of all types so California is like my playground!

I spend most of my time exploring the avenues of life both mental and physical, I am a deep thinker which leads me to be very intense and passionate. I love taking pictures, it is a huge release for me, a place to focus energy that otherwise might be wasted on far more frivolous things!

I also have a thing for plants and animals I feel very connected around them and love to take pictures of them.

I love anything that tingles the brain, things that challenge the way you think and why you think that way. Books, videos, pictures, and dialogue are all very cool things! I also get a rush out of dirt biking, snowboarding, driving, rock hunting, boogie boarding, swimming and gardening. I have a very erotic side of me but we will leave that for other posts! All things aside my most Passionate interest in life is exploring the world with my son and my friends documenting it and allowing everyday to bring new adventure and insight.

I sell plants at the local Farmers Markets, and spend a lot of time out and about in our little world and these are some of the pictures of those explorations I hope you enjoy!

I have no training in photography or picture editing I just enjoy showing people how I see the world. I would love to hear what you think about my pics so please if you got a second let me hear it! I also love tips and hints, like I said I have never taken a class or anything but would love to learn.

Also I do have pictures for friends!!

Peace and much Love

Tommy
