Lew is an inspiration, he always adds a new prepective to his images and how he actually achieves the end result is a mystery! I always look forward to viewing his images and reading his view on stuff. It is a pity we live a continent apart as I would enjoy his company and humour! Sarah Bauer

toms work is interesting imaginative charming funny creative unique enchanting sad emotional inventive amazing delightfull the list could go on forever. i have never in all my life seen work like this before it truly amazes me and is so thought provoking . long after tom posts an image i find my self thinking about it . you will never walk away from one of toms works of art without feeling something. that really is a special gift i think the work of a great mind. tom as a contact is so much easier to describe as he is so kind and thoughtfull and always leaves a note of encouragement . i am truly glad the day i found toms work as i smile everytime i see an email telling me he has posted a photo as i wonder what it will make me feel or think . thank you for being such a good contact/friend on flickr and for all your inspirational work i just love it . i look forward to seeing you work long into the future . irene

tomswift46 performs as a true artist at many levels; therefore it's inadequate to merely call him a photographer, although he is that, and a fine one to boot. Tom's work arouses many different things on many different levels, tugging and prodding at our emotions of fear, laughter, anxiety, social consciousness, and more. He is political, but not; he is abstract, but not; rest assured that whatever label defines him, he is truly an artist, and one that uses his work to make us think, and think again. His work is well-planned and excuted, rather than impulsive, and in addition to entertaining the eye his work always contains a message of food for thought. In addition to being a fine artist, Tom Swift has become a fine friend. You can't ask for any more than that, and I'm appreciative.

It's a special thing to be able to feel the artist through his/her art, and I get that from "tomswift46." His work is totally unlike my own -- which is exactly what I love about it.

Life moves fast,,too fast,Tom has the talent to freeze its most precious moments and hold them in stills,then to be used as a catalyst to re-ignite life's most beautiful moments,

Tom's sense of humor, adventure, and experimentation is a balm for our times. He tirelessly re-invents himself and in the process helps us to re-invent our own vision. I also enjoy his gritty down to earthi-ness.

I never tire of tom's imagination and creativity in his view of the world around him . . . nor do I tire of his poems or lyrics. At times I am puzzled, most of the time I am amazed, charmed, delighted, laughing, sad, you name it. I love his stuff.

aside from the fact that t/s is totally insane, you cannot find a more interesting and entertaining site on flickr. his visions and singularly creative renderings offer insight and humor into this outrageous world of ours. he is the master of paintography.

Tomswift46 has the ability of being able to make you see things through his eyes. Whether he uses his wry wit or makes a masterpiece of color and form he always has something to communicate that is worth saying and a unique way of saying it.
