Thom Floutz began the pursuit of art through photography years ago by first photographing his own artwork. He enjoyed the lens as much as the brush, but the passion he had for it really began when he also filled another desire of his. That was to travel to exotic places and even join in excavating an archeological site.

"These pictures represent an effort to try and capture some of the magic and awe that I felt while visiting these places."
