Mark is a kind-hearted, gentle man who grew up in small town Missouri and his work reflects that. He goes to small towns and photographs the crumbling architecture as if to remember the past times of those towns, capturing them just before they crumble into a pile of bricks. Mark says he wants people to see the the big picture: the thing that your looking on the wall was thought about and created for a purpose, it wasn't just slapped on the paper. Mark has been over 120 exhibits all across the country and just recently self published his first book of photographs, "Turn Left at the Blinking Light".
