Tim Loomis Photographer

I have loved photography all my life and didn't get into it seriously until my early twenties. I was at Boston University's fine arts program and about to have my final jury. My apartment was robbed and all my work was stolen. Thus I wasn't able to graduate from BU.

A good friend of mine took me out for a ride in the country to get my mind off my misery. She had just gotten a new Nikon Nikromat 35mm camera and when we found a magical spot in the middle of Myles Standish State Park, I went crazy with her camera. I bought one for myself the next day. I was on my way to Peru and had a blast taking pictures and seeing photography as an art form.

I came back to Boston and was in the 1st graduating class from the Art Institute of Boston in Photography. That started my career as a professional photographer. I love the medium and enjoy my work that you find here.

I was working the business for 30 years doing everything from weddings to catalogs. Photography got me all over the world and in places I never would have seen and people I wouldn't have ever met. I spent 4 years working with The Nature Conservancy shooting wilderness areas all over the continental US plus Hawaii. During this time I did some work with Time Life Books, The Audubon Society and other great magazines and publications. I also spent some time photographing for The United States Information Agency which got me into places like The World's Fair in Osaka Japan. I had a blast!

In the late seventies and early eighties, a poet friend of mine Bill Talen and I created a project we called Indian Cowboys. We followed the Indian Rodeo Circuit to create a show about the creation of modern heroes. This cumulated in a show at Ft. Mason in San Francisco we called "The Walk'n Book." We had Bill's poems blown up so you could read them from the same distance you looked at my photographs.

I moved to Denver CO in 1983 and opened a studio here. In the early nineties I partnered with Rod Pilcher and Toni Kent to create Images Everything which we ran until the late nineties when the high end photos for catalogs went bottom up because of digital photography. We closed the studio and Toni & I continued working together creating web sites and web site optimization.

I am getting back into photography by starting to digitalize my old slides from the sixties and seventies. I have created this site to show case these images and the new ones I am taking with my new Sony HXV-5 digital camera that I love. Photography has come a long way baby!

I would love for you to come play with me and share some of your work and create discussions around photography and the creative way of being. Join me on my Facebook page to join the discussions and to share your images. I look forward to playing and learning from you... Tim
