The name is Thomas Gordon. I am ex-New Yorker (moved after 9/11) who now finds himself living in Virginia Beach... still can't bring myself to say I'm a Virginian, but I guess my kids are and my fam loves it here. :-)Anyway, in addition to other things... I am a stock photographer in the Hampton Roads area and shoot exclusively for Istockphoto. For those interested my published stock photo portfolio can be found here: http://www.istockphoto.com/gordonslifeI am also a freelance photographer for a number of companies locally including: BROGEN/BrosGeneration (Surf/Skate Clothing) and Nations T-shirts. In my spare time (and in addition to parenting two kids and family demands) I am an assistant coach for a local boys rec soccer team (my sons team), a member of the local Comunity Emergency Response Team (CERT), and a volunteer mentor at ODU. Whew! :-)

"The Longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home.The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our attitude.I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.And so it is with you we are in charge of our ATTITUDES."Charles Swindoll
