    I love Mark's work so much! I would also love to see Chris Cuffaro do a talk. He has been shooting bands and doing portraits for 50 years.

    Wow! What fun! And love the zany, "profound", spontaneous "craft" of Mark's craft!

    Brilliant and inspiring talk, such an unbelievable body of work. The moving portrait at the end gave me anxiety but suspect it was meant to.

    Rather an eclectic lot of photographs. When I think of a recognised style in photography, I think of it as a conversation where the voice of the person is recognised.
    Here it seemed like a collection of random thoughts.
    Drew Barrymore dancing with a Sumo Wrestler compared to a woman standing on a spiral staircase on a beach, engaging with a Giraffe – as you do.
    I'm left thinking the inside of this man's mind must be like a lumber room, or a Bower bird's nest filled with shiny and unrelated objects.

    Mark,
    Your an interesting talented artist!!
    Maybe, take a risk sometime and do this w/o reading from the page. Tell it from the heart and I think it would be far more interesting and fun.
