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.

Nate & The Gals

Light, Love and couples who embody these elements.

These are the only factors that I require of my Together Sessions. No script, no scouting, no props...I approach each session organically and learn about myself, my work and the people whom I am blessed to work with on a very sincere and genuine level. These are very rewarding projects.

Despite yesterday's overcast, the light that is Estelle & Nate was burning bright. Rounding out the group were Ivy & Phoebe, their two beautiful (and spunky) 4-legged little ones. I take that back, Ivy is actually much bigger than I am when she gets up on her hind-legs! In the end we wound up with exactly what we started with...two beautiful people, very much in love.

Here are some images:

Thank you Estelle & Nate for trusting in the process...the honesty conveyed in these images is indicative of the deep love that you share. I am grateful to have witnessed it.

All my Best,

The Colors of the Wu-Chang

Greetings Friends,


Last weekend brought me through Buffalo, NY to bear witness to the love-drenched nuptuals of Wendy Wu & Michael Chang...now simply, The Wu-Chang Clan. It was a beautiful spring day...trees were in bloom, spirits were elevated and smiles & laughter were in high supply. Although I am still working the the imagery from that day, I wanted to post a few that jumped out at me.

Noteworthy:
Wendy is a graphic designer and a wickedly talented one at that!!! She designed her own programs and came up with a way of using images from their Engagement Shoot as table markers and table-toppers for the reception. All of the details were so personalized...and so very clever. What's more is that her wedding colors were a dark brown and bright green!!! My favorite color combination and one that I've been using in my identity scheme for some time now! Fantastic job Wendy, everything looked amazing - and yes, I am biased and proud to say it!

Also, this day could never have been what it was without the uber-talented contribution of :e:...Mr. Eric Laurits. :e: gave every ounce of what he had to every second of that day because, frankly, I don't think that he knows how to give any less!

Thank you :e: for your self-less dedication to recognizing the light, love & beauty in us all. It was both a pleasure and an honor to have you aboard.

So I mentioned details and colors...here we go:
