Cole Thompson Photography

My art has appeared in many exhibitions, publications and has received numerous
awards. And yet my resume does not list those accomplishments, why?

In the past I've considered those accolades as the evidence of my success, but I now think
differently. My success is no longer measured by the length of my resume, but rather by how I
feel about the art that I create. While I do enjoy exhibiting, seeing my work published and meeting
people who appreciate my art, this is an extra benefit of creating, but this is not success itself.

I believe that the best success is achieved internally, not externally.

Many have asked about my qualifications given my non-traditional resume and I answer;
My images are my qualifications, nothing else matters.
