I enjoy seeing photographs or reading almost anything about The Ramones, but it is specially satisfactory when a written piece is done well with a true sense of understanding of punk music, this is just the case in what Maggie has written about the band, she is also very good at capturing the bands spirit in photos.”
Just days after her 14th birthday, Maggie St.Thomas was already a published photographer and photojournalist with her first two-page feature in Angry Thoreauan Magazine. She continued to document the Los Angeles Anarchy Punk and Goth music scenes with her Nikon 35mm-film camera before photographing her all-time favorites, The Ramones in 1995!
Since 1994, the photographic and journalistic works of Maggie St.Thomas have graced the pages and covers of more than 300 print publications like High Times, Billboard and Rolling Stone Magazine, and have been featured in music videos, including Sublime’s video for “Boss DJ – Acoustic Version”, animated by Andrew William Ralph. Track taken from the album ‘Sublime Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends’.
Shortly after the birth of her twin sons in the Summer of 2002, Maggie completed her studies at Cal State Fullerton for Criminal Investigation in the Forensic Sciences, Private Investigation, and Undercover Surveillance. In 2017, Maggie obtained licensing and certifications in Cremation with CANA (Cremation Association of North America), and worked in Death Care as Crematory Operator for three years assisting those who once had a beating heart into the afterlife. Today, she works as an author, creating children’s books and photo novels, and has even explored the romance genre with four published titles in the Behind The Curtain 30-minute short story series.
