Discover Thomas Guerrero's background and education. Biography Thomas is the writer behind the blog Sidewalking Victoria which he has been writing since 2015. The blog showcases Thomas' photography both with digital and film cameras. Thomas has been making pictures since he was seven when his dad gave him an old Canonet QL19. At the time he was only allowed to shoot black and white film until he could show that he had mastered the use of the shutter speed and aperture. Like most of the world, Thomas moved on to digital photography until 2020 when he rediscovered that same QL19 and nursed it back to health and began shooting film again. While Thomas’ subject matter is broad, you will see a focus on moments overlaid on both structures and textures. Thomas’ most recent show was as part of the Fernwood Art Stroll and has self-published a number of photography books that are available online. https://www.sidewalkingvictoria.com/ Education BA History and Anthropology, University of Victoria Thomas Guerrero Create your future COURSES & WORKSHOPS
