Paint Monkey's photostream

Native of Newcastle, England.
Adopted Nantucket-er, US and A since 2000

If you wish to buy/use any of the images in my stream, please contact me for permission first.

I've never studied photography, (for more than a week) though I know I should. I learn something new everyday, a lot of that knowledge has come from flickr.

I'm blessed to live on a wee Island off the coast of Cape Cod....I pinch myself every day.

I shave at weekends, and I like the square stuff ;)

Cameras used mostly:

Nikon D-80
Nikon D-700
Hasselblad 503cx
Mamiya 7II
Graphlex Speed Graphic 4x5
Shen Hao 4x5

I have plenty other cameras but these have fallen into my groove so far!

"paintmonkey's pics are dreamy and poignant and i've more than once drifted off into the unkown looking at them."

Monkey Magic says:

"A truly gorgeous introduction to a different world (well different for me anyway). I love Mark's vision for colours or black and white, and the way he presents the spirit of New England.

I love seeing the way he uses all of his different cameras, he certainly makes the best of each medium. A photostream worth following."

"A native of our sacred northlands, PM seems to have followed me, or I've followed him, through a host of film formats and from soft to sharp, black to white, and now it seems we both share a passion for the mighty and delectable Hasselblad. Hey, PM, you're a delight and an inspiration, there's always something new here, and you're always up for a challenge. Just can't wait to see what you do in 6x6 in 07."

Drunken Monkey says:

"He's the dog's bollocks.
And he doesn't mind drinking with monkeys."

"Ex-Patriate Geordie Monkey, friend to drunken Monkeys; provider of Baseball caps and a great photographer.

Every day he scans the skies expectantly for the fabled Gregg's Airdrop of pasties and Stotty Cakes."
