About Mark
WORKING HARD TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Let me tell you a bit about myself
I am clever, crazy, giving, independent, confident, funny, caring, full of ideas, laid back, nonjudgmental, and a fairly good conversationalist. I love learning about everything. I love people with good vocabularies, Spain, rainy days/thunderstorms, dogs, rats, spiders, traveling, meeting people, experiencing new things, expanding my knowledge, growing in mercy, and taking a chance every now and then. My all time worst pet peeve is people who aren’t nice. We’ve only got a limited amount of time here and if you just cant be kind, just stay away. Please.
I’m Always Shooting Something…
A few facts about me
Favorite Band(s)
a-ha. Check ’em out. They have more than “Take On Me.” Already have my tickets for one of their 3 shows in the US in September 2020! Oh, and love me some Fleetwood Mac.
Better Half
My beautiful wife, Mitzi (yes, our names together make us sound like some yuppie couple out of the 80s) makes me feel important. She challenges me to grow.
Hero
Mister Rogers. Really.
Colors
My favorite colors are royal blue & black.
Seasons
Fall & Winter (and that winter better have snow in it).
Pets
Love them. We have four dogs, three cats, and an occasional spider (really!).
Personality
I’m a 7 on the Enneagram and an INTP.
Almost to a fault. Type that into Google, read what comes up, and you’ll know me. I fake being an extrovert. Find out your profile too and tell me about it.
Motivations
Jesus. And I’m a bit of a thrill-seeker. Okay, a lot of a thrill-seeker.
Favorite People
I like easy-going, laid-back individuals.
Semicolons
I have a thing for proper semicolon usage; they’re amazing!
My causes
I have several causes that I think are worth supporting
Why does it matter?
Well, yes, I care about my photography. But there are some things that are more important. I’m even willing to risk even alienating some of our clients if it means some things get changed in our world.
So, please take the time to check them out….

My take on art
You know, art is for all the things you cant say out loud. And photography works to solve that pretty well. I’ve got plenty of words but there’s just some things that work better with pictures. My favorite thing in photography is really capturing exactly what the photograph needs to communicate.
There are plenty of photographers, plenty who do whatever. I don’t want to do whatever. I want to find something bigger in the images we create. Really.
Do you have something special you want me to help you create? Bring the idea to me and let’s make it happen.
