Sprinter Phillips turns masters track into modern art photography

Near-M60 dashman Tom Phillips, who I’ve dubbed the World’s Fastest Masters Photographer, is — like Earl Fee — an artist at heart. But he paints with a camera. Tom is a well-traveled landscape lensman who says: “I’ve been shooting stuff in the mountains around Europe for many years. More recently, I’ve had the time and inspiration to turn some of my material into watercolors and other arty forms. I think I got a little carried away with it, and soon ran out of wall space at home to display it. The only answer seems to be to have an exhibition!” Tom’s show is set for all of February 2014 at the “Below 65” Gallery in Tom’s hometown of Maidstone in Kent, England “There will be something for all tastes, I hope. I’ve got some masters shots I’ll definitely be including. And if nothing else, working on the exhibition is taking my mind off passing the big 6-0 in March, just two days before the World Masters Indoor Champs in Hungary. I’ll be there!” Jolly good show, Tom.

Another great example of Tom’s artistry:
