I love this guy's charisma and his seemingly unbreakable spirit

[seekingthequestion]

As an amateur photographer I think it's a very pure form of photography you've got going, capturing without preconceptions or fear of what people think. Reminds me of contemplative photography a bit. Thanks for putting a smile on our faces!

"why am I holding the camera to my face" lol that line tho

[lizjoe]

"Why I put the thing up to my face... Is beyond me".. BAHHHH-HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm in TEARS! You're great, Tommy.

I have a question - Since people who leave comments, on any given website, tend to have horrible grammar, how do you decipher some words when they're spelled completely wrong... Or don't you bother? 

I love your videos. I love your laugh. I can't wait to see more Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse into your world!!!!

[mathewthomas]

I love this guy he is so open and just free to the world!

Omg, I’m crying right now.I can know by your attitude that you’re incredibly nice, smiley, fun, even with a “handicap” like this.I can perceive that you enjoy life a lot more than other people, and that’s praiseworthy. But I just can’t stand all the things you’re missing out, stuff that people just can’t describe to you, and that you’d know if you could see with “your own eyes”, and makes me all tearful.But I’m def subscribing now, you are so inspiring, and makes me appreciate more what I have.

[ariellaklein]

You have a wonderful soul. I could watch these videos for hours.

[lovelyspringweather]

i absolutely love your channel. i work with a blind/deaf girl who is nonverbal and your videos help me understand to some degree some things she can't describe herself. thank you for your entire channel. thankyou.

[michellekill]

[pelinsutcuoglu]

Tommy, your sense of humour travels all around the world. Love your videos. Greetings from a far away country, Turkey.

[SazquatchTurd]

You're the man Tommy! Huge inspiration to blind and sighted people alike. I've been watching your videos recently and have learned alot about blindness. You are a real "eye opener" (pun intended) Lol.

[MrCalimexguy]

i got to tell you, your outlook in life surpasses that of many people i know that have everything one can wish for, and for that i tip my hat off to you sir!!! great channel

[SeventhEve]

I love your sense of humor, Tommy! You take life's challenges and make them into opportunities. I wish I were that strong. :)

[sophieg]

That is amazing. I’m a volunteer with seascape and had some training in visual impairment but this has taken it to the next level.

Through a Facebook post from Tosh.O haha. He shared your video "Best Things About Being Blind" and it just cracked me up. And by the way, I'm taking this from one of the commenters on the Tosh.O blog, but Tommy's perception of race and beauty really is awesome.

[shaldana]

I found your channel completely at random from a fireworks video. Not too sure how that happened, but here I am, and am absolutely glad to be here. Count yourself to have a new subscriber, of the Canadian variety. :)

Hey Tommy! I'm actually an app developer, and I've been watching your videos a lot recently. I've been inspired to work on the accessibility features of my apps, and I was wondering if you have any suggestions. Are there certain things some apps do with accessibility features what you like/dislike? What sorts of things make using apps easier for you?

[mimi_wandering]

I think your idea of sharing your world with instagram is awesome. It feels much more real than some super edited photos I see. Awesome!

[DaveASL]

Very interesting. I am a member of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, how interesting to experience the world from somebody else's point of view. Thank you for captioning your videos too. While I can hear well enough to understand them still, some people who are profoundly deaf might miss out on the experience if you didn't!

[KailynDekker]

Tommy you have an amazing sense of humor, I've stayed up way past my bed time laughing with you.
