Mark credits his brother, Thornton, an accomplished underwater and landscape photographer, for introducing him to photography many years ago while on a dive trip. Mark’s interest quickly evolved into a life long love for photography, which he has worked years to develop. While he describes taking pictures as his passion, his “real” job takes him to fascinating places around the world enabling him to photograph people and places few other Americans get to see. Mark has been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years and served in the Army for five years prior to that. He has traveled to 51 countries and is still trying to add to that impressive number. Any moment he is not working, he wanders with his camera, seeking the less seen.
