Sometimes you come across people who take images that really talk to you. This guy is one of those people to me.

Thanks for the link Andy,
Thomas is getting a lot of attention lately, specially in the flickr community. He now is an Olympus visionary and I believe Amin got him to hang around mu43 until some trolls rather quickly scared him away with "this vs that" and "that is not street photography" questions.
I like his work. not crazy much, but he works hard and has some incredible shots as well. And like Ray, yes he only shoots two cameras according to him. an EM1 with the O17 and a EM5 with a O45 or viceversa.
thanks for the link!
A guy like that must make those who complain about the technical deficiencies of the Olympus 17mm feel pretty small. Great stuff - thanks for the link!

You talking about the 2.8?
It's nice to see someone who just does some straight processing for a change. And I'm not saying that to put anyone down who does heavy processing....Lord knows I overdo it, but his just seem very neutral (or maybe natural), and he lets the compositions and images stand on their own. For me to leave them so straight would be an act of bravery...I wonder how many others would be comfortable leaving them so unprocessed?

I didn't recall when I saw these photos that this was the same guy who's photos (and videos of him making them) were discussed extensively on mu43 about a year ago. As I said in that thread in a lot more detail, I like some of his shots a lot, and seeing his Flickr page again as a result of THIS thread reminds me of that. My feelings about his techniques and invasion of personal space are a lot more complex than that...

I was following Thomas on 500px but since I rarely go there now, had no idea what he was up to. I mentioned it here .. just once .. whoever it was, panning him on mu43 must have been here also. I've not mentioned him since. I like his work. Glad you found him on flickr, Andy Thanks!

I like very much what Thomas sees. I suspect that he does not limit himself to one vision or label. Perhaps that is what it most threatening to some...
