Tom Till is one of America's most published photographers. Over 150,000 of his images have appeared in print since 1977. In 1998, Till opened the Tom Till Gallery in Moab, Utah. Till's images depict landscape, nature, history, and travel subjects worldwide, including all fifty states and nearly sixty countries overseas.
Till's stock photography images have been featured by National Geographic Magazine, The New York Times, Outside Magazine, Canon Copiers, Delta Airlines, The New Yorker Magazine, Life Magazine, Browntrout Calendars, Eastman Kodak, Reader's Digest, Rand McNally, MGM, Arizona Highways, Lonely Planet, and thousands of others.
An exhibit of his images of UNESCO World Heritage Sites has been traveling the world for almost three years, with stops in Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Geneva and Oslo, among others. 
Though Till has been know as a master of the large format (4x5) camera and film for over 30 years, he has  switched to 35mm digital Canon equipment.  Recent trips have taken him to  South Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Viet Nam, Denmark, Sweden, and Slovenia,  and numerous sites in the United States.  A 35-year resident of Moab, Utah, Till has one of the largest photo libraries in existence of the Four Corners region.
Profiles about Till have appeared in Backpacker Magazine, Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Camera & Darkroom Magazine, and many other publications. Also numerous conservation and environmental groups have used Till's photos to galvanize support and illustrate their publications. Till was awarded Arizona Highways Photographer of the Year in 1996, the NANPA/Guilfoyle award for landscape photography in 1994, and was named one of the ten best landscape photographers by Nature's Best Magazine. Till received a special award from The Nature Conservancy in 1998. In 2006, Till was awarded the prestigious NANPA Fellow Award for 20 years of excellence in nature photography. Till is one of only a few landscape photographers to receive the honor, and the only Utahan. Till was also featured the book "World's Best Photographers: Landscape." Also in 2006, Till was inducted into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Featured in the book World's Best Landscape Photographers: Landscape, Till is also the sole photographer for over 30 books.
Mikenna Clokey, Tom's daughter, is a journalist and professional river guide in the Grand Canyon and on other rivers. Tom's son Bryce is a junior at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, and a member of the Westminster golf team.
Till's other interests are movies, baseball, the Beach Boys, cosmology, rock and roll, and the television series Lost.
"I have a great job, and I feel very lucky and blessed to spend my life in the world's most beautiful places. The first, and biggest thrill, is being in the field all the time. Although I get a great deal of personal satisfaction and fun from my work, photography is really about sharing what you are experiencing with others not lucky or patient enough to be there themselves. It's also about noticing things everyone else passes by. The other great moments are the 25 or so "Christmases" I have yearly when my film comes back from the lab, and the thrill I still get from seeing my work in print," says Till.

This review is from: Utah Wildflowers (Utah Littlebooks) (Hardcover)

I had expected a book which would be informative regarding wildflowers. This book is more of a picture book with nice sayings next to the photographs. The photographs are beautiful.
