I have been working with photographic images since age eleven, and currently use a wide variety of imaging tools and techniques to visually express ideas. I have developed a firm understanding of the Imaging process from mind's eye to a vision that can be shared with others. I have had the opportunity to study under photographers such as John Sexton, Phil Davis, Huntington Witherill, Robert Glen Ketchum, Ted Orland, Ray McSavney, Edna Bullock, Cole Weston, and Dean Collins. I have also studied the original works and negatives of Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Minor White and others.

Phil Davis and I produced the video, Beyond the Zone System, along with the Photographic Center in Carmel California, (the home of Ansel Adams, and West Coast B&W photography.) Beyond The Zone System continues where Ansel Adams left off presenting methods to understand the integration of films, papers, and technique with a personal vision.

Professionally I have been involved in the center of the computing industry in Palo Alto, California, where I worked for the Hewlett Packard Company for 19 years. At HP's Corporate Research and Development Laboratories in Palo Alto I focused on emerging broadband cable modem and information technology networks. I have been inspired by the convergence technology and indeed involved in bringing it about during my career with HP.I understand imaging, photography, communications, and computer networks; both their capabilities and limitations.

For the past five years I have focused on turning that visioning capability to the digital domain and currently use a range of state-of-the-art, professional tools to accomplish that creative process - that's why I founded xyberMEDiA to help others in conveying their vision through this fantastic, infant merger of technology and communication. Sometimes the medium is the message, more often the message is compromised by the medium. xyberMEDiA can integrate the two so that your ideas are communicated. - Thom Wilkins, xyberMEDiA.com
