The wise person possesses humility. He knows that his small island of knowledge is surrounded by a vast sea of the unknown.

    dbaniaga...aka: Dude says:

    "Mark is a straight forward no nonsense kind of guy. You get no BS with him but you do get a razor sharp wit. His photography is well tempered with an amazing eye. Unbeknownst to him, Mark is writing a book on portrait photography...he's that good!
    And now for the important part of this testimonial. It makes me very proud to call Mark my friend. He is as human as a human being can be. He's kind hearted and always willing to give advice if needed. In short, Mark is the main pillar of TBG. He is the foundation the rest of us TBG'ers can build on.
    Thank you, Mark, for being there!"

    Memorableness says:

    "Moral or ethical quality: a man of fine, honorable character. This is what the dictionary says about a man of, "Character", and this is who Mark truly is. I've grown to know and trust Mark in the coming up on two years I've known him. He has been a mentor, savior, life-line, and above all a true friend. It's my honor to know him. He is always non-judgmental and his wisdom is often astounding. He is also a very funny chap and a very talented photographer. In a world that is all too often full of B.S. and shallow people he will surprise you with his candor and ability to never give up. There is a life inside of him that is an inspiration to all who know and love him. I am one of them....I love you Mark...*huggs*...."

    "I can honestly say that this is one of my favourite Flickrites. : )

    Mark is an all-around decent fellow with a big heart and a great sense of humour. Always patient, always there for folks in need... and forever dropping little bits (and big chunks) of wisdom in his wake.
    Mark, you have very much earned my respect and admiration... thanks for being a great friend.

    God bless you and your wonderful family. : )"

    "I noticed Mark the 1st day I joined TBG (Its impossible NOT to notice Mark...He tends to make his presence known Lol). He is an amazingly creative photographer with one heck of an imagination. Mark's the type of guy I call a "Sport Model"...Kind, intelligent & down to earth & with a hysterically sarcastic sense of humor :)"

    "Mark is so cool. He's great to have around.. and even if he's got nothing to say he says it anyway :) oh the clever parodies of (sometimes) serious conversations, oh the snide humour. He's pretty good at this photography jazz too, I must say, though you must give Manna some credit for those portraits. All round awesome."

    "What can I say? Mark rocks! Even though we tend to disagree on many things ;-), we agree on about the same amount of things. He's fun to hang out with and his photography skills are rapidly improving, especially his portraits. They are great! Which is not difficult of course, having such a beautiful woman as Mark has ;-).

    Keep up the good work and thanks for your friendship.

    Hugs!"

    "Okay, so we all know he's a bit crazy...
    There's nothing wrong with being crazy if it involves the following: quick wit, razor sharp sarcasm, always kind yet usually very strange words, intelligence beyond compare, heartwarming smiles, good advice when you need it and of course, an excellent eye for photography.
    So if you're adamant about not voting Flikr, vote Mark. You won't be disappointed!"

    "A visit through Mark's stream tends to remind me of what's really important in life: finding that special someone and creating a loving home. His car pic's and scenes from small-town life are pretty cool, too. Mark always makes me smile with his comments...even when he says we disagree. LOL...we agree about the important stuff!"

    "He has one of the most interesting and breathtaking photo streams not only on flickr but the whole net. And I've seen lots of photo streams before. Also he is known for his great humor and his ability to laugh about himself. If you don't do anything else today, go see his photos and join or at least visit some of the groups he's in. It will be worth your while, I promise."
