Listening to Mark retail stories and seeing these iconic photos from great moments which happened well before I was even alive is really gratifying. I’m a huge rock/hard rock/heavy metal enthusiast so I’ve seen a good majority of the bands he talked about live in concert over the years. Mark is a tremendously cool, down-to-earth dude who takes phenomenal photos and I’m happy to call him my friend\m/

Amazing how it's the thin fine threads in life that can lead you to your destiny. Dude knocked on the door, it opened, a camera was presented to him. Notice, he had to do something (knocked, mowed the grass, etc.). This is a word for someone reading this.... MOVE..... GO...... YOU CAN DO IT!
