I really like the mood of your "square thinking" folder.Great job!

I love the ADK shots. Very creative and inspiring shots. Looks like all the early morning hiking really paid off.

Very Nice folder, Original, diversified and with great tones and colors.

Looks like you know your way around square format. awesome, incredible....breathless, beautiful.

You must live in Paradise. And it took brass b---s in the current medicolegal environment to take those ER panoramics. They make for compelling documentary images. I'm surprised they let you get away with it, but I salute you.

You have a great eye Mark.

thanks everyone.

michael s. - paradise it is. i live in a park (largest wilderness east of the mississippi) that is larger than the state of vermont. half of the park (public land) is protected by the new york state constitution as "forever wild". the other half (private land, villages and hamlets) is controlled by the Adirondack Park Agency which enforces very strict land use regulations, all of which are designed to protect the natural habitat.

the ER photos were taken as part of a "day in the life of an urban hospital" book project for the hospital itself so permission wasn't a problem.

Mark you shots show great attention to detail and leave me with a sence actually being there and seeing what you want me to. I have really enjoyed viewing your work and getting a sence of you and your surroundings. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Nova :)

Mark, I love your portfolio. The angles and scenes you've shot are truly unique and beautiful. Perhaps we'll run into each other some day on the trails!

Mark, the 'square thinking' portfolio is amazing. This is one of the BEST bodies of work I came across on this site. Period.

Great landscape photos.Nice to see your pictures.Chris

Very nice! One of the best I've seen.

One of the more interesting Portfolios on PN. Thanks for taking us into your beautiful wilderness.

Mark, you have an impressive portfolio! Some of your photographs are simply unbelievable! Great job! Regards, Ashutosh

One can look through your portfolio and feel they have taken a walk through a forest. Thanks for posting- I really enjoyed your shots...

I really enjoyed the square thinking portfolio. Thanks for sharing it.

I have a 6x6cm adaptor for my 5x4". You've inspired me to play with it more. Thanks!

Mark you are a master of recording the sublime.

Your understated style gives your photographs a certain power and presence. If that is not a contradiction of terms.

Great work.

Regards C.

Truly a wonderful body of work!

Great photos. I really love your nature. I didn's see many shots of this kind in that way. Nature in square format? It is working great. You are capable to pull out the point. Very nice.

Thanks to one and all for taking the time to puruse my portfolio and leave a comment or two - I really appreciate it.

Mark, yours is one of the best Adirondack compilations I've ever seen. You've certainly captured a different feeling of the place. Well done!

James

Amazing view a wonderful place full of charm. I love New York is special. You Do a great photography job.... Congrats !

Hi there, I love photography and i am always looking around at other peoples work to learn. I was looking at your folio, and i see you've titled one section of it, 'Krappy kamera'. Now when i look closer i realise you have used the one and only, glorious Holga camera. Am i right? Now why call this crappy? I know they are made of plastic and in reality they are just a cheap chinese toy but Holgas have so much artistic potential you dont know! Just go to this website http://www.lomography.com/ and look around, you will find holga camera shots, like the ones you've taken with a so called 'krappy kamera' can actually be works of masterpieces. I have one of these cameras myself, i just love what is possible. I also like what you've taken so far with the camera too. It has that surreal, mystical feel to it doesn't it?

Simona, thanks for the feedback and comments.

The title "Krappy Kamera" actually is borrowed from the title of a well known annual photo competition. All photos must be made with a cheap FILM camera.

My KK pictures are actually made with a very cheap - no focus, no exposure control other than "auto", low res - digital camera. The results are very Holga-like.

Hi Mark, I discovered your photos after your blog. You have such a huge collection, I need to stop and watch. I have liked what I have seen, very personal and not closed to a fixed theme. Very interesting images. I will write you more on them.
