Recent trips have taken him to South Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Viet Nam, Denmark, Sweden, and Slovenia, and numerous sites in the United States.

Tom's son Bryce is a junior at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, and a member of the Westminster golf team. Till's other interests are movies, baseball, the Beach Boys, cosmology, rock and roll, and the television series Lost.
"I have a great job, and I feel very lucky and blessed to spend my life in the world's most beautiful places. The first, and biggest thrill, is being in the field all the time. Although I get a great deal of personal satisfaction and fun from my work, photography is really about sharing what you are experiencing with others not lucky or patient enough to be there themselves. It's also about noticing things everyone else passes by. The other great moments are the 25 or so "Christmases" I have yearly when my film comes back from the lab, and the thrill I still get from seeing my work in print," says Till. |
