I met Mark while I was on the recent Flickr Worldwide Photowalk, themed Howdy Stranger!
I was walking with a couple fellow photographers down the Chicago Riverwalk and noticed Mark while he was having a beverage outside at The Hideout.
I explained my project and asked him if he would come out to pose for a portrait. I found out that his name is Mark Charade and he's one half of The Roustabouts, a London based DJ duo.
He had been invited to perform at a wedding at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago and was spending a few days soaking up the sights before flying off to NYC.
You can find Mark at www.theroustabouts.co.uk.
Thank you, Mark, for agreeing to be number 37 in my 100 Strangers Project. It was a pleasure meeting you in Chicago!

I first noticed him ahead of me on the escalator exiting the subway and ending in the atrium of the shopping center. All I could see was the edge of his beard and his cape but I noticed how connected he seemed with his surroundings. While many travel about the city in a stupor or daydreaming, he seemed very aware and interested on his trip to the surface. I decided to approach him for my project and when I caught his attention from behind I realized what a truly excellent portrait subject he would be, with his dramatically curly, silver beard. His response was an immediate friendly smile, not a startle reaction and he said “Sure. I’d be glad to.” Meet Mark.
Mark seemed a bit surprised that with all the open space of the atrium, I was suggesting we go to a corner near windows where there would be more natural light. I gave him my contact card and showed him samples of my project photos and he quickly processed the information and put down his bag and umbrella on the nearby ledge. “No problem” was his attitude. He smilingly told me that he gets asked for photos fairly often. I’m not surprised.
Mark was very agreeable as I positioned him and took a few portraits and at one point he slipped into a pose of looking at the camera looking a bit mysterious. He told me his hashtag is streetwizard. I laughed and said I could see why. I finished with a photo from a distance to show his great look and he obligingly held his cape open to show the crystal hanging around his neck. (It sure helps when the stranger you meet is a professional model!) “Do you always dress like this?” was my question. “Oh, like this and worse!” was his amusing, self-deprecating reply. “I do my own thing and like to think that I set an example for others to go out in public with their own unique look.” I told him that his was certainly a great look and he said he likes being a Wizard because Wizards are safe. They will never hurt you.”
I shouldn’t have been surprised when I learned that Mark is an actor and model. Born in Toronto, he was on his way to an audition. I noticed on his bio that he has been on some very popular shows (including Hawthorne, JAG, 24, and Criminal Minds) and does a wide variety of modeling work. I said I hoped I wasn’t making him late for his audition and he said “No, I’m still ok. I won’t get the part anyway; I can see it’s not for me – but I like the experience of auditions and I enjoy meeting people.” He double-checked that I had gotten what I needed in the way of photos. Clearly, he would have given me a bit more of his time if needed. He’s clearly a busy, successful guy and said he had a nonprofit event he was going to after the audition and had a modelling session later in the afternoon.
Mark’s advice to his younger self was “You can’t save face and your ass at the same time.” When I asked about interests outside of acting he said “Telling the truth. I love the truth and I love telling the truth.” Mark expressed real interest in my Human Family project and thanked me for including him. I thanked him for taking the time and said it was a pleasure having met him. I offered to send him a copy of the photos as a thank you, then caught myself and said “Oh, what am I saying? As a model and actor you probably have hundreds of profession portraits.” He waved my comment aside and said “No, I’m very interested in what you’re doing and would love to have copies.” He did, in fact, write me an email later in the day. It said "Thank you so much for stopping to interview me. You are a fellow magical inspiration." It went on to state "I fully release the rights and ownership of the images taken at Toronto Eaton Centre on this day 2019-01-30 to you." I mean how nice is that?
I have never met a Wizard before, but I was struck by Mark’s response to my project request. He was confident, warm, interested, and I had the feeling I had met a man who was very comfortable in his own skin. And that’s not even touching on his magical powers!
This is my 802nd submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.

Suitcase with Dog and Pillows – painted ceramic, wooden suitcase, and pillows, 1992
Mark Manders (1968) explores the quiet depths of human consciousness. The internationally acclaimed artist fixes thoughts and moments in sculptures, paintings and installations that hover between the tangible and the elusive. His oeuvre breathes a poetic tension: intimate and universal, concrete and mysterious. For his solo exhibition Mindstudy at Voorlinden, he brings together more than eighty works – both iconic and more recent pieces – which together form a layered journey through his world of thought.
Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar: Mark Manders - Mindstudy, from 20 September 2025 to 18 January 2026.

Shot with a Mamiya RZ67 w/110mm 2.8 lens at f/11, 1/400th of a second, using Kodak Portra 160 NC film rated at ISO 100.
The lighting was provided by a medium soft box on axis with the camera as key, a small soft box over the subject's head and 4' strip lights on either side. A large, white, circular reflector is on the floor in fron of Mark, helping to lift the shadows just a touch.

First time recording in the new FPP Studio, Fair Lawn NJ. Fall 2016
Mark Rietmeijer, sculptor and friend. Three weeks ago a new block of marble arrived in his studio. I decided to make pictures of the creation of his new work of art.
So from now on I'll upload pictures on a regular base, showing the process of creation.

The Jaguar Mark IX (1958-1961) was the final development of the Jaguar Mark VII, which had been launched at the Earls Court motor show in October 1950, followed by the American launch at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. It was specifically aimed at the American market, where it sold 500 cars in the first 3 days.
The Mark VII and its successors retained a separate chassis and used the XK engine, initially of 3.4 litres capacity, first seen in the low-volume XK120 sports car, introduced in 1948. The Mark VII was a large car by British standards but offered American buyers a traditional British interior of leather and walnut. The Mark VII was also one of the first British cars to offer automatic transmission, by Borg Warner, again reflecting American requirements.
The final version of this design, the Mark IX, was introduced in late 1958. It featured a larger engine, now of 3.8 litres capacity, disc brakes on all 4 wheels and power steering. Most featured a two-tone colour scheme but not the car shown here. Automatic transmission was still an option, although chosen by most buyers. A few Mark IXs (the number 30 comes to mind) were fitted out as limousines, with bench front seats, a division between front and rear and a cocktail cabinet in the back. I saw one of these, with chauffeur, parked near Fenchurch Street station in east London in 1963. It looked very smart and not at all shown up by a pair of Rolls-Royces parked alongside. The Mark IX was replaced by the all-new Mark X in late 1961.
In 1894 Marks & Spencer opened their 'Penny Bazaar' in Kirkgate market here in Leeds England.
