M&M knew me from TBG. Granted it had it's growing pains. What group doesn't. Mark is one of the few people who still calls me Marvin. Fitting because I used to have a Marvin the martian icon as my avatar for FlickR. Over the years, M&M got to know me. Him & NSA (Who can SUCK IT!!!) knows me well. Unlike NSA, Marks h… Read more
M&M knew me from TBG. Granted it had it's growing pains. What group doesn't. Mark is one of the few people who still calls me Marvin. Fitting because I used to have a Marvin the martian icon as my avatar for FlickR. Over the years, M&M got to know me. Him & NSA (Who can SUCK IT!!!) knows me well. Unlike NSA, Marks has common sense to know the mindset of people. It shows with his portraits. Not using K.I.S.S., but a short testimonial won't do justice to M&M. TY for your and this is my draft for yours.
Read lessMark takes photos of Manna. 'nuff said. That's reason enough to check out their photostream!! But in doing so, you'll also notice that Mark is a great portraitist and I'm sure must be a great people-person - he always gets the best from the wide variety of models he works with.

If you want some eye-candy I highly recommend M&Ms!
Read lessMark is an all around great photographer and mentor. He really helped me with tips and tricks when I got started out with strobes and speedlights. What's even better is that he produces some fantastic photos to boot!
I hate Mark&Manna. Well, not Manna. Just Mark. I hate his photos, everyone of his witty posts. All of times he has reached out to be an all around great guy to the cool kids on flickr. Basically everything about Mark makes me want to vomit. If Mark were to vomit, it would probably be something amazing, like when a … Read more
I hate Mark&Manna. Well, not Manna. Just Mark. I hate his photos, everyone of his witty posts. All of times he has reached out to be an all around great guy to the cool kids on flickr. Basically everything about Mark makes me want to vomit. If Mark were to vomit, it would probably be something amazing, like when a unicorn craps out rainbows (yeah, that's where they come from). Mark is responsible for so many horrible things in this world. Baby seal clubbings? totally his idea. Those sad infomercials about starving kids that Sally Struthers used to do? Mark refused to let those kids eat. Remember the Kony thing that everyone was all upset about and now noone seems to remember? Yeah, me either, but I bet Mark was in on that. Dont look at his photos, unless you like having awesome thrown at your eyeballs like a Randy Johnson fastball. It hurts to get hit by one of those. And if you get a print from Mark, it will probably give you a papercut. But yeah, he's pretty cool, and I am glad to continue to get to know Mark.

My friend Mark is a rare individual in that he Really is as nice as he seems on the interwebz. I have watched him grow not only as a fine photographer but as a father figure in more than a few groups as well as @ home.He was one of the first persons I got to know through Flickr 6 years ago and remains a true friend to this day. We all adore his family and held our breaths while Manna got her papers to come to the U.S., We have watched Ho Ming Grow up and I am proud to say that Mark and his family have come to mean so much, to so many.Thanks Mark for being who you are, a great friend and fellow photographer.
Read lessI do believe. well yes that too. I felt that this stream was my own. until JakeRome said it was not. and then Plurp agreed.
I have only recently met Mark, but he has left an indelible impression. In a heated thread, he responded "why be an ass for the sake of being an ass?" and I found that admirable. He doesn't follow the crowd, and he is mostly kind and fair. I also find him quick-witted and hilarious. Photographically speaking, he is qui… Read more

He doesn't follow the crowd, and he is mostly kind and fair. I also find him quick-witted and hilarious. Photographically speaking, he is quite talented. His portraits of Manna are stunning!

Mark is a straight forward no nonsense kind of guy. You get no BS with him but you do get a razor sharp wit. His photography is well tempered with an amazing eye. Unbeknownst to him, Mark is writing a book on portrait photography...he's that good! And now for the important part of this testimonial. It makes me very proud to call Mark my friend. He is as human as a human being can be. He's kind hearted and always willing to give advice if needed. In short, Mark is the main pillar of TBG. He is the foundation the rest of us TBG'ers can build on. Thank you, Mark, for being there!

Moral or ethical quality: a man of fine, honorable character. This is what the dictionary says about a man of, "Character", and this is who Mark truly is. I've grown to know and trust Mark in the coming up on two years I've known him. He has been a mentor, savior, life-line, and above all a true friend. It's my honor t… Read more
Moral or ethical quality: a man of fine, honorable character. This is what the dictionary says about a man of, "Character", and this is who Mark truly is. I've grown to know and trust Mark in the coming up on two years I've known him. He has been a mentor, savior, life-line, and above all a true friend. It's my honor to know him. He is always non-judgmental and his wisdom is often astounding. He is also a very funny chap and a very talented photographer. In a world that is all too often full of B.S. and shallow people he will surprise you with his candor and ability to never give up. There is a life inside of him that is an inspiration to all who know and love him. I am one of them....I love you Mark...*huggs*....

Read lessMark's true talent in photos is in portraits. Study his shots and learn.
I noticed Mark the 1st day I joined TBG (Its impossible NOT to notice Mark...He tends to make his presence known Lol). He is an amazingly creative photographer with one heck of an imagination.

Read lessMark seems to always be there when someone is in need. He is one of the good guys here in this photo world. He makes flickr a grand place to have friends. Thanx Mark, for being there for all of us TBG'ers!!!
Eh... What else can be said here... An inspiration to us all... wise, calm and patient. Always full of good humour, and that's just Manna ;). Mark doesn't need such words to describe him, he is such a rare individual.
this is my dad!! he is freaking awesome!!! my dad is very nice and honest!
Mark is like a shinning star in the dark night who guides me walk into the light. @ 0 @ He is wise, nice and shine! ^___________^ I'm so lucky to have met this Great Man here in flickr, at TBG. And maybe he is the reason I'll never think of leaving the group! ^ - ^

Read lessI enjoy Mark's company and quick wit in The Biggest Group- playground for Psychotics. He's fun to be around when comments fly in every direction. I wish I had his eloquence, but with my style ;-) I really like your new slippers!
What can I say? Mark rocks! Even though we tend to disagree on many things ;-), we agree on about the same amount of things. He's fun to hang out with and his photography skills are rapidly improving, especially his portraits. They are great!

Read lessMark's a long time buddy on flickr, a standup guy with a great family who he so obviously adores :) Always around and helpful he keeps a group moving along.
I've known Mark for over a year and not only he was the first one to believe in me buying me a pro account but he also is very supportive with all the nice comments on my pictures..he's a great friend and I love his sense of humour..his portraits of his lovely wife Manna are beautiful, check them out!!
Mark is someone to admire. He is an excellent mod, very kind, and has a beautiful family.
Coolest guy in Flickr.
Try beating my bro in diplomacy. Well you can't. Mark is the spirit of the Biggest Group (TBG).
Looking for a cool & smart moderator? Here he is. Wanna see the true love & being a family? Look at his profile. One of my main dudes in Flickr. Thanks for the support so far! :]
Mark&Manna has a wicked sense of humor and sees beauty in the most unusual things but that is a good thing. I have enjoyed his photostream and the conversations we have had.... keep taking awesome pics Mark
