Born in Honolulu, Thomas Krueger is
the
son of a Navy family from Yokosuka, Japan. He
discovered his passion for photography at the age of
8. His career began on a small Navy newspaper, the
Seahawk, covering local sports and other events. The Seahawk
awarded him a letter of appreciation for "Excellent Photography," in
1992.
Thomas then embarked on a journey
to Seattle in 1994 to attend The Art Institute of
Seattle, furthering his artistic and technical skills and
receiving his degree in
Commercial Photography.
Thomas developed an innovative and conceptual style,
photographing a wide range of subject matter from the
abstract avant-garde, to haunting images of people and nature.
His work instills a mood of introspection and self-reflection, and
possesses a sense of wonder that often is lost after childhood.
He
also possesses an engaging, and charming quality that people are in
tune with.
Thomas prefers to use
the medium of film, both color and B&W. He enjoys perfecting his
craft in the darkroom. He says, "In growing as a fine art
photographer, I have embraced the traditional darkroom techniques
which I feel that one day may become a lost art in this world of
digital technology. Time spent alone in the darkroom allows me to
reflect and connect with my art."
