"Just shouting out to Mark; today I sent Mark an email about some quandaries I have over choosing a new camera body. Mark called me up and we had a good chat. It's great to put a voice to a face.
Mark is just as a good as a people person as he is a photographer. Thanks for taking time to chat Mark!

"In the beginning, I thought, flickr was just a place where I can store my pictures and maybe show them to a few people. In the meantime I found out, what a fantastic community this is....and it's people like Mark, which makes it so an outstanding place to be and spend time with.
Mark is an exceptional photgrapher and a true friend.
It is a great pleasure to follow his magnificent photostream. His stream is also full with beautiful photographic techniques and inventive ideas. I love his style of processing and how he sees the world around him. His unique work on "glass worker" is a class of its own, it's one of my all time favs here on flickr and must be viewed.
Take your time and follow his visions...you won't regret it."12th January, 2009
