About Me
- Tom Swan
- Born in San Francisco in 1937, I grew up in San Francisco and Marin County, and attended San Francisco State University. While in college, my area of concentration within my major was photography, and I studied with Jack Welpott, a well know West Coast photographer. During the summers while in school, I worked for the concessionaire in Yosemite National Park. As a result, I chose working for the National Park Service as a career, and was stationed at Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico; Tonto National Monument, Arizona; Muir Woods, California; Harper's Ferry National Historical Park, West Virginia; Death Valley, California; Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts; and Point Reyes. In 1983, I transferred to Yellowstone National Park, and retired from the Park Service in 1992. Being fortunate enough to live in these beautiful areas, I was able to develop my skills as an amateur photographer. Since I returned to California, I have visited and photographed 200 vineyards and wineries in both Napa and Sonoma counties, and taken numerous photographs at Point Lobos State Reserve in Monterey County.

Hey Tom--I met you at the Perkins' house last week. I love this new post--was in Mariposa in November and saw a lot of this great old junk.
Hi Ana - It was great meeting you in person after Ben had told me of your interest in my blog. Thanks for listing my blog with your important links, and I've added "The Hypnotist Collector" to mine. Plus, I've enjoyed looking at you content.
