Video definitely does the best job of showing the landscape at its finest. So much open land… such a beautiful expanse. The small towns were so cool and different from where I live. I was flying drones out there myself, capturing what I could, but Andrew has been doing it for years. All his shots are better haha. That was definitely a montanamoment. Anderson made a lot of money from selling Myspace to News Corp. Since Anderson could easily retire and spend time on his hobbies, that was exactly what he did.
In , he started getting interested in photography after attending the Burning Man festival and decided to become a travel photographer.

Two days after the DC insurrection, as the country was still processing the aftermath, MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson posted his second tweet of the past three years. Anderson attached the thinking emoji to an amateurish Photoshop render of Donald Trump, sitting in one of his typically garish offices, with his browser opened to Myspace.
He disappeared again shortly afterward, withdrawing into the ocean of enviable vacation photos that have been left to fossilize on his few remaining social feeds. Myspace was quickly outpaced by other social media ventures — Twitter and Facebook — and by the early s, the website had lost much of its user base and tangible identity.
Visiting the URL today is downright surreal for any pilgrimaging millennials. All of its familiar trappings, the Top 8, the chintzy color layouts, the twinkling custom cursors have been scrubbed away. But just consider how those two weathered the events of January 6th: panicked, agitated, staring down at the chaos that they helped wrought, considering some truly arcane, dystopian-fiction solutions like perma-banning the president from their websites.
What was Anderson doing while the great networks crashed and burned? Jumping back online for a quick dig, completely at peace that these questions are firmly Not His Problem Anymore.
Like his Twitter, it is rarely updated and aggressively neutral. Here he is on the crystal waters of the Maldives , standing on a dockside bungalow with an anonymous woman. Here he is a few weeks later in Bhutan, soaking in an alabaster monastery on a gorgeous November day.
Anderson responded with two heart-face emojis and a salutary hang loose. In June , the company laid off 30 percent of the workforce and reduced it to 1, employees. Its popularity continued to drop and by the number of monthly visitors had dropped to 7 million. According to Hello Magazine Anderson currently lives in Hawai and has turned into a travel photographer and explorer.
He has shared stunning shots of his travels Thailand, Bhutan and the Maldives with his , Instagram followers, where he keeps the same username myspacetom.
Onwards and upwards! After all that, I brought it into Photoshop to remove some purple noise in the shadows. Finally I made a few changes to clarity and color in IGs editor.
In many ways, the phone is better — certainly for portability and also in the way it handles different layers of depth and light. I know if I shot this on my DSLR it would have been even harder for me to process to my satisfaction. Went for a more painterly feel since it was pretty noisy and easier to edit that way?? I like it a lot!! Do you like??
Photo taking has been my hobby for 4 years. One way he is engaging with others is through his blog, which has the URL of — you guessed it — myspacetom.
