Mark on Mark:
"I've been a photographer
since....well pretty much forever.
I
started shooting in high school and attended Houston Technical
Institute,
one
of the first "Magnet" schools in the city . There, I
was
able
to have lab 3 hours a day for three years and bought my first
Leica.
Shortly
thereafter I attended the Ansel Adams Yosemite Workshop
in
California and knew that my fate was sealed. I was accepted at Brooks Institute,
but
started assisting a local pro first and never made it out to Santa
Barbara.
I've
never really had any job but "shootin' pictures' ever
since."
He has a wife, Marilyn,
and two daughters, Kate and Alana.
Mark
in 1986 .... in the New York Times!
I
was photographed as a sad Astro Fan after the Mets eliminated
the
Houston team in the 1986 playoffs. Click the page for the whole
story.
Pretty
funny. All worked up over -baseball.
Some
things never change.....the Astro's still lose playoff games,
and I still suffer with them.
