Sheryl Thomas

I see a photograph everywhere I look. I love being able to capture a moment that moved or inspired me. Whenever I go out with camera in hand I just wait for the world to speak to me. Often, in my photos I see something that the naked eye missed. And those are the moments that are most gratifying to me. The lens can cut right through the outer layer to see something much deeper. Even the most mundane scene can make a great photo.



Pet Portraiture
