  Rick Goldwasser Photography says:

  "Mark is an amazing photographer, that's obvious if you look at his stream. He isn't into gimmicks or trickery, he just finds the scenes and the light to show nature at it's finest. Even though I've never met him, I want to say something about him as a person instead. First of all he's ruining my perception of lawyers; Mark - did you not get the ABA memo about being a jerk.? Kidding aside, Mark is the rare case of an elite photographer who takes time to not just look at other people's photos but give both encouraging compliments and constructive criticism. He has taken the time to help me numerous times. What's more, when I read his profile and the things he says about nature, the wilderness and dawn, I feel like I'm reading my own thoughts and feelings - one of these days we'll go out for a shoot - or a shot (or both)."

  "Mark takes the kind of photos I like... lots of sweeping wide angle vistas of gorgeous places. His ability to find the right composition in the right light on a consistent basis is amazing! I know many of the places Mark photographs, and many of them take a lot of sweat and a lot of mosquito repellant to reach. I share a lot of the same passions... exploring, multi-day backpacking trips, the High Sierra, trout fishing, photography, and the amazing landscapes of the West. I like bold landscapes and bold colors, which is a trademark of Mark's photostream too. This photostream is an inspiration to see such beauty and aspire to come back with images this good. Shots like these come from the heart more so than the camera. Without having met Mark in person (yet!), I know I like the guy, despite him being a lawyer. Ha!"

  "I first noticed Mark's Mono Lake and Tahoe shots on a search, and have been fascinated and impressed ever since. There's an incredible range of color and composition, but he really captures the heart of the scene. I always want to jump through the screen into the places he takes pictures, and hope he continues to share his adventures with us."

  "Mark's photographs are so sweet to view. I am never disappointed clicking on any of his images. He has been to some amazing locations in the Sierra Nevada and elsewhere, places I can only dream of visiting some day. If I don't ever get to some of these locations, then I am more than content viewing his photographs of them."

  "Mark has the soul of an artist deeply in love with the wild places, a part of nature himself, a keen observer, an excellent photographer with the eye and gift of spirit and body to bring it back and show us the wonders he has seen, a great "painter" of landscapes-an overwhelmingly generous commentator-thanks mrwsierra for your talent and presence!"

  "What's not to love about Mark's photos? I don't think I've ever seen him post a photo that wasn't well thought out, well exposed, sharp, compositionally excellent, and interesting to boot. ;-) In this day and age of abnormal colors and saturation due to excessive HDR processing, Mark's photos are really a breath of fresh air. Breathe deeply, and you might just catch a scent of the wonderful places he photographs."

  Visual Journeys says:

  "Stunning light, fantastic composition, and vivid color just begin to describe Mark's stream. His love for our magnificent landscape is apparent in his images. I'm constantly "wowed" by the west through Mark's eyes. I love the fresh perspective he brings to us as he shoots many of my favorite places - never bringing home the same images everyone else shoots."

  "Mark is an exceptionally gifted photographer and I have admired him and his work ever since the almighty "powers of flickr "have blessed me with the chance to know of him. His genuine love for the outdoors really comes out in his pictures and I really think there is something special in that. It’s always nice to discover he has posted something new... as it always manages to take my breath away."

  "If you haven't glanced through Mark's photos, take some time - grab a hot cup 'o' something, and sit back and get ready to be wowed. Mark has some of the finest photos in his collection, each somehow able to bring a distinct feeling out of me, and I bow at his ability to do this. The light, the colors, the views, all come together perfectly in every shot...keep 'em coming Mark!"

  "At its best, Flickr is about the love of photography. When I look at Mark's work I see someone who truly loves photography, and whose landscapes show that if he desired he could be right up there with the top professionals."

  "Mark has by far some of the best sunrise and mirror reflection shots I have ever seen. One of my first contacts on Flickr, his shots gave me the inspiration to travel out west again this summer and try to capture the magic of the area. I could "fav" his entire photostream, as he captures beauty in nearly every moment he points his camera at."
