Tom Wolf is all over the map...literally. From Texas to the Tropics, Tom spends his days capturing slices of life, whether that is architecture, travel, events or food. His photography philosophy focuses on the journey, striving to appreciate all the experiences along the way, as opposed to only enjoying the destination.
So how did Tom, a photographer for over 35 years, get involved with Recipe for Success?
A vegetarian for 28 years, Tom enjoys local food that has been prepared with care. He has been eating this way for many years and he wants to pass on this mindset and lifestyle of eating and living well to children at a young age.
After meeting an RFS staff member at a local farmers market, Tom and his wife began volunteering for the Seed-to-Plate Nutrition Education and helped in the classrooms with food preparation and cooking. Soon after, Tom proposed a photo documentary of the seed to plate process, documenting the school garden as the S2P students nurture, harvest and prepare their garden fresh food. "Over the course of four months, I observed the Rodriguez Elementary students and their garden in all phases, developing a strong relationship with the students as they became more and more involved with the project, voicing their opinions and even trying their hand at my camera," said Tom.
Combining his professional photography skills with his lifelong love of fresh and healthy foods, Tom was able to capture the very essence of the S2P program.
When Tom is not wielding a camera, he can be found listening to live music, traveling, eating or a indulging in a delightful combination of all three.
