Visual Ramblings: the chronicles of tomas flint - visual explorer.

Enthusiastic observer of light, love & all things living.

Greetings beautiful blog people. Welcome to the newly renovated visual:ramblings. Here you'll find stories of love, tid-bits of wisdom and visual ramblings detailing the life and times of yours truly. The idea here is not to simply showcase my work, but to establish and maintain an interactive environment where readers and contributors become one in the same - as this space does not belong to me, but to all who breathe life into it through reading, embracing and reacting to its visual randomness. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your visit and look forward to a wonderful journey together.

Just a few details shots that I liked looking at. I hope that you do to!!! (Hint: click on the picture to enlarge it. These thumbnails do no justice!!!)

A city that never sleeps...

Greetings Dear Friends,

Camille & Steve : New York City : 1 Week Before Christmas. 1 great couple + endless urban settings = 1 amazing shoot. Their willingness to explore and experiment is as boundless as the bond that they share. This afternoon was pure magic and here are some of my favorite images from the day. Thank you Camille & Steve, for letting your guard down and inviting me to share in your love.

This first image was created using six different overlays that I gathered in and around Manhattan the day before the E-Shoot. We had one shot at capturing the image as the train was pulling away...
here are some more texture treatments...enjoy!!!




...and some new toning treatments that I've been working on...











We ventured into Times Square just after dusk on the Saturday before Christmas. Can you say "Mob Scene"?? What a thrill (and challenge) it was to shoot amongst the thousands of people that wandered there that night.
damn tourists!!!


These are images that I captured from the rooftop of my brother and sister-in-law's apartment in the Upper East Side. This is one of my favorite places to go and breathe while in the City.

This is the view looking south towards downtown.
and the view looking North towards Harlem and the East River.
If you know me than you know about my love for traveling by rail. Sure, the trains are always late and the travel time is considerably longer, but to me there is nothing that even remotely compares. Here are a couple of snaps from Penn Station. And yes, the train was late!!!
and some shots from twilight along the Mighty Hudson River.


The Amtrak inspired sunset self-portrait.
Thank you all for stopping by. I hope that you enjoyed your stay! Now hit me up with some comments...i'd love to hear from you guys!!!

All the Best,
