  "As LoopZilla says, Mark is a tall Geordie with an eye for detail and composition. He has found his niche here on Flickr, whereas I am a chaotic photographer always looking to bend the rules and always after 'that picture', the one that tries to get away. At college Mark was not in his comfort zone, he was bored of the bullshit the tutors spouted and did not think much of their photographic skills - are all lecturers in Photography failed photographers ? ...I don't know, all I know is that he is passionate about his craft. The shadow of his future self is an interesting take on light and shadow, which after all is what makes a photograph exist....I am sure he will continue to post great images until the Flickr servers start to crash and burn."

  Thank you for sharing your work with us on Flickr!
  
  I urge you to take a careful look through this photostream... these is so much to see here, both to delight you and indeed to challenge you to greater efforts in your own works... but be warned... these picture are addictive!"

  "i've been thinking about writing a testimonial for Mark for some time now... here it is.
  
  one thing that i've really enjoyed, and have tried to incorporate in my own photography because of him, is viewing settings around me in a different way.
  
  i'm in awed and in envy of how Mark presents geometry of everyday things. i think that's what stands out most for me. in addition to that, if you read his observations about the photographs he comments on, you can see yet another perspective that, i think many (including myself) miss. kindev like a different layer, it's hard to explain but very rewarding.
  
  not only is geometry covered by Mark, if you take a stroll through his stream, lots and lots of variety becomes available and, to me at least, there is a sense of cohesion in his work. not only cohesion, but progression. it all ties back to his flickr username the more you think about it imho.
  
  he's been a good friend while here on flickr and i always look forward to his posts, comments, humor and his vacations - yes his vacations, since he tends to bring back some very enjoyable stuff from his travels.
  
  all the best to you Mark and it's been a pleasure to get to know you over the last few months.

  "Mark has a great energy for ideas and words. His commitment to the earth and the creatures that live on it is commendable.
  
  If only I had an ounce of that energy I'd at least be out of bed and someday I might just get a car. But probably not.
  
  His intelligence and eye for the subtle detail of this world keeps me in awe. I'm always in suspense when I open a window into his photo stream and into his world."

  "I could have written all that great stuff in my profile but I didn’t. Why? Well because I did not think of it!
  
  Mark has thought of all this stuff and he has thought about the pictures he takes too! None of this stuff is obvious until you experience it. We are all lucky Mark is here on Flickr putting his experiences of the world and his camera here so we can all enjoy them.
  
  Smart pictures from a clever and intelligent photographer.
  
  Thanks Mark."
