Marcfoto's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I mostly enjoy taking photos of historic buildings, mills, industry and engineering related to the New England region and elsewhere. I also enjoy scenic and mountain views. If people get in the way, well, it's usually not intentional.

I try to find beauty - or at least an interesting angle in everyday places and things.

Nearly all of my photos are straight from the camera. Some have minor editing. I use DxO mostly for distortion correction. I like the DxO filmpack too. I really do not like HDR at all.

Happy Shooting!
Marc

In the Viewfinder says:

"Marc has been documenting an era, a place and a time. He spents most of his camera time documenting southeastern New England though he does stray to other places. There's no pretense here, no fancy-dancy razzamataze, no HDR, not much Photoshop, just good clear documentary photography. It is a thankless project and many years from now someone will look at these photos for all the information they contain. If only I could be so altruistic! I'm so glad that folks like Marc continue this work. He reaches back to the historical -- definitely out of the Jack Delano mold. Thanks Marc!"

"I've never been to the New England area, but if I ever get there, I know many of the places I'd check out just by looking through Marc's excellent photostream."

"Marc has to be one of the premier portrayers of the southeastern New England scene on Flickr. Historical buildings, urban landscapes, the seashore, night scenes, everyday life in Rhode Island and Massachusetts...it's all here. And with the new camera, some stunningly beautiful photos!"
