Tomas has always had a special connection with animals. His mother said he didn't talk until he was 3 years old but he would meow and bark like the pets! As a teenager and an adult, Tomas has had a menagerie of pets, from snakes and lizards to birds and fish, cats and dogs. Unlike many who only photograph animals and wildlife when they wander into a landscape photograph, Tom loves animals and loves to photography them as often as he can. Tom will not bait wild animals and only one of Tom's images "Spirit of the Wild" is from a zoo.
