"And if a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible." (Richard Avedon, 1970)

    "I met Mark through Flickr as he managed the "Swiss Peeks - Switzerland Through Your Eyes", a photo book compiled from your submissions on a six monthly basis. Ever since, I've been tuned into this beautiful and inspiring photography. Mark is a versitile and talented photographer and I never get tired of admiring his work."

    "Unbeknown to me, during one of my many visits to Switzerland,one of my fellow tourists somehow fell to the temptation of throwing away his return ticket and remain longer than is usually accepted for trippers. He describes himself, quite accurately I think, as the Permanent Tourist.

    He now lives in a spacious flat, forever condemned to waking every morning to the sight of the majestic snow-capped alps and turquoise lakes, travel to his cushy lakeside job on the best, most efficient rail system in the world, and spend his weekends amidst scenery that most of us weep at for the sheer spectacle of beauty. To top it all, he does this in the accompaniment of a particularly gorgeous female.

    As if this is not enough, he is able to encapsulate all this wonder in which he dwells through his lens with the efficiency of a keen-eyed sniper. Just look yourself, and you'll see visions that are both stunning, clever and at times amusing. If he went professional, we may as well all throw away our cameras, for we are not worthy.

    I hate him."
