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.BOOKS BY TOM TILL (text author in parentheses)1987 Colorado: Images from Above1988 Outcroppings (John McPhee)1989 Utah: Compass Guide (Tom Wharton)1990 Utah Magnificent Wilderness (Wallace Stegner)1991 New Jersey (Bill Bradley)1992 American Southwest1993 Visions of the Colorado Plateau1995 Visions of the North1996 The Woven Spirit of the SouthwestSacred ImagesUtah Slickrock CountryUtah WildflowersUtah Reflections1997 Utah: A Centennial Celebration (Brooke Williams)1999 The Colorado Plateau: The Land and the IndiansAlong New Mexico's Continental Divide TrailNew Mexico's Continental Divide TrailNew Mexico WildernessAlways in Season2000 Utah: Then and Now (Ted Wilson)Seasons in the Rockies2001 Great Ghost Towns of the West (Teresa Jordan)In the Land of Moab2004 Plateau Province2005 Fodor's Utah Guide2007 Utah: The Light Fantastic (Mikenna Clokey)2008 Zion National Park ImpressionsSuccess with Landscape Photography2009 Canyonlands National ParkNew Jersey Impressions2010 Canyons of Utah (Mikenna Clokey)
