I had no idea the fun I'd have in working with each artist, and today is a perfect example. For many years I've talked about the best thing about the photographic industry, and it has nothing to do with images directly. It's the friendships that come out of everyone's love for the craft.
My good pal Tom Curley is in the spotlight today. Tom and I met at least twenty years ago in previous "lives." Since that first meeting we've worked together on dozens of different projects, trade shows and conventions. Tom's key role in the industry today is the leadership for Panasonic's Luminary Team, a group of incredibly diverse and talented professional photographers. While he's not a working professional photographer, I'll match his enthusiasm, passion and love for the craft against anybody in the industry! In fact, the image he's sharing on "Why?" today is a perfect example. Click on the image above to see more of Tom's work. Panasonic's tagline is "Changing Photography," and it's thanks to Tom and the Luminary Team, my own passion for imaging is revitalized almost every day. I'm never without a camera and Panasonic's technology in every LUMIX camera keeps pushing me to expand the boundaires of my own creative envelope.

Skip, couldn't have picked a better person to feature. Like you, I've worked with Tom for many years and, while retired now, I still have fond memories of his passion, talent and common sense. Well done, Tom and Skip. I live in the Philippines and most of our public markets has the same scene and it really made me feel nostalgic. I have dependably been a firm devotee that an incredible photograph ought to dependably recount a story and make the viewer feel something about what they're seeing and with this photograph, you succeeded. I acclaim you for taking something so crude and letting the world see it. It truly tells a story and your photography abilities are likewise appearing! I cherish how clear it is and engaged, incredible occupation! Wanting to see a greater amount of this arrangement from you later on! Looking forward and perhaps soon you'd investigate more nations and societies! More power! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
