I feel like i am one one of those fortunate individuals who can actually say that I am living My dream. I spent my childhood documenting and archiving events, vacations as well as adventures through the art of photography. After graduating from college I moved to Arizona and began a 10 year career as Marketing Director for an environmental technology company. The focus of the company is to clean up polluted water throughout the world. I have developed and implemented several different marketing and advertising strategies for environmental firms including localized outreached programs to national advertising campaigns.

Three years ago I went back to school to learn the mechanics of photography, and have since opened Thompson Image Studios. www.thompsonimage.com or www.donthompsonphotography.com

I have worked very closely with Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s Waterkeeper organization and have been one of their Official Photographers for the Kennedy Waterkeeper Celebrity Skifest.

Some of my other accomplishments include:

*Member of the Professional Photographerv Association (PPA),

People tell me “You Are An Artist”, and I asked why do you say that. They tell me that it is the way I take my photographs and the quality of my photos exceeds higher from many other photographers. They tell me that the colors are bright and the pictures are sharp. Many people tell me that I have a unique way of capturing the essence. I hoped that you feel the same way when you look at my photographs. I have been taking photographs for over 25 years. I love photography, and it is what I do best.

I have been living here in Sunny Arizona since 1981. I am here with my beautiful wife, Maiko, and our kids, Mariko & Markus, plus the two dogs, Mysty & Jake. And a Red-eared Slider (it’s a turtle).
