Welcome to my website! My aim is to share my passion for photography with you via a portfolio of my photos, which I have taken mainly since the early decades of this century. I currently use a Fujifilm X-T5 mirrorless camera for my photographic work. I have also used a Nikon film camera during the 1980s and a Pentax DSLR camera during the early years of the new century. Several sets of photographs from those prior camera are included in this website.
Most of my photographic work focuses on landscapes, urban scenes, and tours of selected important sites such as churches and museums. My next goal is to work on portraits and weddings. I recently photographed a wedding at a local church in Philadelphia. I recently decided to work with the Adobe photo editing programs (Lightroom, Photoshop). Thus far, I am enjoying these programs and plan to make greater use of them. I used the Adobe programs to prepare the photos on this website.
I look forward to and welcome your comments regarding this site. I would relish new relationships with fellow photographers, both amateur and professional. I currently live in Philadelphia, which has a long history of being one of my nation's artistic centers.
I have completed several photo books relating to selected churches in Hartford, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington. I have already published a photo book for Saint's Clement's Church in Philadelphia, Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, New York, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, and Saint Joseph Cathedral in Hartford. You may order a copy by going to www.blurb.com. When you reach the Blurb site, go to bookstore and then go on to photography. Then do a search (click the magnifying glass on the upper right corner) of me (Thomas Alton). You will see the books on the above-mentioned churches.
I have opened a new gallery of selected photos that I have culled from this portfolio. These photos will be available for purchase in various forms (prints, framed, metal, etc). You may reach my gallery of culled images at http://thomasaltonportfolio.pictorem.com
