Not even sure how Mark and I crossed paths, but my earliest contribution from him goes back two years now. In that time I have come to value the exhibits Mark shares with us as the visual compostion of how I would describe what ever the subject may be... It's kind of how a person says 'if I could draw, that's how it would look', well, if I could photograph, that's how it would look. I've traveled to London so many times for work and most of that before I thought enough to tote the camera. What Mark shares with places familiar to me far exceeds priceless. I have two regrets in the past 24 months...I had two visits to El Paso and failed to make a point to meet Mark. What would make up for that would be a chance to shoot London with Mark sometime. Read the other comments on these pages about Mark and his contributions of imagery, they all indicate the same traits and characteristics... It is a privilege to be an acquaintance...

It was very difficult for me to write this testimonial because Mark is so much bigger than simple photographer in my view. First of all Mark is visionary philosopher programmed for success and you can see this in his breathtaking work. I came across Mark's stream relatively recently because i was totally captivated by his London. He sees so differently from how i see this city and so inspiring! His London is romantic, still and in rapid motion, colorful and stylish and aesthetic... All of this has completely blown my mind... But then when i learned Mark better this became only small part of the wonderful universe called Mark. I was extremely lucky to meet him in person recently. We spent great day together and after 5 mins of our meeting i had the feeling i am with the one of my old friends whom i've known for years. Check his stream - he would take you from the sands of Colorado to beautiful Venice and much beyond in his imagination. And this is the world you do not want to miss!

He always seemed like a pretty nice guy when I first got to "know" him a few short months ago on Flickr......... but it wasn't until I had the chance to meet him personally here on my home ground, that I came to appreciate just how much of a nice guy he really is!!! What instantly warmed me to him was the way that he reached out to touch the soul of my unique city, proving himself to be an outstanding ambassador of the very special circumstances here, evident also in the incredible collection of artistic and imaginative images he produced as testimonials to his emotions. I look forward to seeing him here again, and who knows........ maybe in the company of some of our other Flickr Friends. Nice to know you for real, Mark!
