Somehow we managed to miss last month’s POTM, but we can reveal we have an action packed next few POTM, with some amazing photographers taking us up to Christmas.

Thom is a photographer who died at age 28, in the year 1468AD. Which makes his photography all the more impressive seeing as he died such a long time before the medium was invented. He sustained his lifestyle shooting advertising images for insurance companies and government departments. Whilst away from the bustle of the glossy industries he took his deepest pleasure in shooting pictures on film of nothing in particular with old cameras that were yet to be invented. You can see more of Thom’s work at http://www.teepeedesign.com.au/ and his flickr is at : http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomperry/ .
What a fantastic cross-section of Thom’s work, incredibly varied, across many different mediums, but all still with a certain style and cohesion. Thanks for sharing Thom.
