Dear RG Friends,
A little introduction... My name is Tom Theobald. I am one of the hearty souls who follows this most beautiful sport of rhythmic gymnastics. I have been at this off and on since the early 80's. In the beginning I barely knew RG...then I learned from Eileen Langsley's photos how lovely is rhythmic. Back then I just barely managed to photograph a few events (Konica Cup 1985 in Toronto and Goodwill Games 1986 in Moscow). I missed almost all of the "Golden Girls" of Bulgaria...still I am happy for a few images of Lori Fung, Galina Beloglazova, Marina Lobach, Adriana Dunavska, Florentina Butaru.
After the 1988 US Trials, I went inactive from professional photography (worked for an airline for 15-years). About 10 years later I came back and at 1998 Goodwill Games in New York...I saw a certain gala by Tamara Yerofeeva of Ukraine. That one gala by Toma changed me completely. Since that day I try to cover the major events of rhythmic whenever and wherever they happen worldwide.
I send photos to magazines, federations, news agencies, some of the major sponsors of RG, private collectors, parents of gymnasts and when the gymnasts themselves write...I try to help them out too. I spend many months on the road at a time away from home (California). Have no wifey or kids to say otherwise and so is a kind of nomadic life. Just I have an older brother and sister back at home and my close friends that follow and love rhythmic gymnastics same same.
Ok, on my 'daypic' page, I try to show a nice photo every few days, when time and internet access permit...

On my page is a complete listing of online work and I make new gallery and project announcements there. Will try to do same in this new thread here from now on. Welcome and I hope you enjoy,
Tom

Just I began this week a new Facebook artists page here...
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rhythmic-Gymnastics-Photos-and-Photographer-Tom-Theobald/325052538365
This page shows all my current work in "Quick Looks" galleries. Everyone welcome to join. FB page is a bit more interactive... The page is open fo requests, lets you tag photos, soon an answer questions format ("Ask Tom" type topic) and plan to post fusion videos there soon. First quick project is to continue going back over 20-years and post some favorites...try to add soon Lori Fung and Galina Beloglazova images from mid-80's. Cheers, Tom
