Mark Geistweite Photography

Your grand teton pic brought me to your page. I am glad I came. You have a beautiful portfolio. Each shot is unique - color, subject depiction, mood, composition. WOW I really like your shots.

Hi Mark. Thanks for your kind comments on a couple of my photos. Looking at your portfolio, it looks like we have very simular taste in what we enjoy shooting. You can't beat the western mountain landscape! I live in Steamboat CO, very close to Trappers lake. I look forward to shooting up there. You have a great Portfolio. Keep shooting...Take care, Brian G.

What a lovely collection of photos well done

Your portifolio is very nice Mark. I enjoyed specially the landscape photos. Congratulations.

Excellent work! One of my prefer portfolio. Lovely landscapes, very inspiring for me. Best Regards!

Thanks for visiting my portfolio Mark. I am extremely impressed by your work Mark, really beautiful landscapes caught in a distictive manner quite different in style to my own work. It is amazing how different landscapists have their own style and I found your take a real breath of fresh air. I'm glad I visited, looking by the number of visitors here I would say this portfolio is severely under-rated. Great bio too!

very imprassive collection with colorful images, Excellent compositions and exposures....wonderfull use of Nikon FM2 camera and 28mm E lens. I would like tp see more , more pictures from you Mr, Mark. Cogratulation to for your nice work.........................

Very good pictures MARK! bio statement i like! have a nice day!

Mark Incredible portfolio. The landscapes are all photographed with great taste and tecnique. Congratulations, Thanks for your comment and rating Mert TURKOGLU

Super portfolio and I am sure that I will be back. Congrats. Thanks for stopping by my portfolio.

Hi Mark- This is the second time I have commented on your images and believe me , you will have plenty of good images for your soul. May I add to your biograpy-" The Journey IS the Reward" Regards-Ross

Amazing portfolio with excellent photos - especially landscapes and nature shots. Good work, i will come back. I wish success and I wait for next. Regards - Michael.

a lovely portfolio of nature. its truly wonderful to view your portfolio. its inspirational and great to see an artist still practicing film. i will check again for updates.

cheers mate

Reading your bio, then seeing your portfolio, I must say that you seem to be putting your soul into your images. Giving us something to wonder at. Your portfolio is awesome !!!........Helga

I'm only a beginer in the world of photography, and this portfolio is quite humbling! It makes me realise that I have a lot to learn, and inspires me to get out there and do it. Thanks

Beautiful landscape & nature photographs!

Mark, I am so glad that I ran across your portfolio and all of these truly wonderful images. First, you live in one of the prettiest states in the USA, and you have absolutely managed to convey that beauty time and time again. I love North Carolina so much and eagerly look forward to each visit with my camera. But I've not come close to capturing its beauty as well as you. Second, it is abundantly clear to me the strong connection that you have with the landscape via each of your images. I can look at each image and see so much, and learn so much. I loved reading your biography and visiting your personal webpage, and wish you continued success in all of your endeavors. Hopefully, I will find you early one morning on the Middle Prong of the Little River in GSMNP. Keep up the great work! Cheers! Chris

Mark, I just found your note that you've recently relocated out to SoCal. I don't know if you'd ever be interested, but if you ever want, or need, a fellow photographer companion for a weekend shooting trip around California, let me know. My wife is generally not particularly interested in my early a.m. or late p.m. photo jaunts. Drop me an e-mail if you're interested. I live in the Santa Clarita valley; not that far from B-field. Cheers! Chris

Hello Mark, Having just seen one of your photographs I have now been led to your portfolio. From one who is a comparitive newcomer to the world of digital photographer, it is most impressive to say the least, and something for us mere mortals to aspire to. Excellent work! NH. P.S. I have also just read your bio and love your attitude.

Hi Mark,

Excellent Biography! I know exactly what you mean. And you also have a good wide array of subjects and perspectives here. I hope to broaden my portfolio in a similar way when I get more time. Unfortunately, I'm trying to do the 'eating thing' right now...LOL.

Patrick

Thank you for your kind,constructive and encouraging comments on my recent photo "Forest In The Sand" I had almost given up on this one. Actually it was my wife who should take credit for the visual acuity. It was she who drew my attention to these remarkable, water etched patterns in the sand. Thank you also for taking the time to view my portfolio. Best regards, Neville H.

Thanks for your insightful comments of my "Fall Color". I enjoy reading each participant's Biography, and while most are interesting, I found yours to be particularly perceptive. There are lots and lots of "photo artist" in the world but you I judge to be a photographer. Thanks again, and you come on back down South now for a visit, y'hear!

Your Page is so beautiful You are the Master of Landsca[pe Photography.

What a great portfolio you have! I'm astonished by the sheer number of overwhelmingly good images in here. Really, really good work!

Best regards,

Frank

Really great work ! ! ! I'm impress, you have talent my friend ;-) Cheers adam

I enjoyed looking at your landscape pics. You master your art.

Thanks a lot for sharing,

Didier

Mark, your entire portfolio appeals to me. Your detailed "bio" statement repeatedly "frowns" on photography because there are "better things to do", but this is so American of you! People today, from my observations, are often frenetically busy in their distracted lives. I'm not immune, but photography forces me to slow down once in a while, open my eyes and appreciate the moments of life that pass by so quickly, and be thankful for all the beautiful things usually overlooked. Your portfolio is full of places and scenes I love! You are obviously a skilled photographer, so keep at it, man. You should not feel guilty for exploring and seeing the world everyone else is too busy to see. :) -K

What a portfolio. Your bio says it all and is as superbly written as the outstanding portfolio of photographs you have. What passion and passionate work.

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

The passion you write about on your bio's notes comes out from every single shot in your wonderful portfolio, Mark. That's what photography is all about in my opinion, to show the beauty around us, to let others be aware of that beauty. That's my aim in photography, and it's obviously yours as well.

Cheers man, keep it up!

Paolo

Excellent portfolio with beautiful pictures! Thank you very much!

Mark; You have some beautiful photos in your Gallery. Some can put you just where you took them. They are a welcome sight to see such refreeshing photos. Congratulations are in order. Keep up the good work.

DonM

Mark - Your images are striking! Crisp, sharp when wanted, blurred when desired-all in the right places. I especially liked your black and whites. Great textures and compositions. I look forward to seeing more.

Harry

Mark, just a fantastic portfolio you present here. Very impressive to say the least. I am very glad I stopped by, and enjoyed everything about your portfolio (great bio as well!).

Mark,

I have spent a long time here in your portfolio. Amazing images, particularly enjoyed your NC folder and the 1 camera 4 sandwiches. I have marked you as interesting, and plan to return here many times. Thank you for your insight as well in your bio.

Best regards, Tammy

I'm just overwhelmed by your gallery of photos. I keep seeing your name, and I've had you marked as a favorite for quite some time, but apparently I've never left comments on any of your photos. Your collection just proves that a person doesn't have to go to exotic places to find things worthy of a photograph. Nevertheless, the traveling you've done and the time you've invested in this collection is impressive. Every shot is a gem, and I plan to return for a visit and spend more time with your work. Bravo to you!

Hey Mark - I meant to tell you that your bio puts it all into perspective. Well said. I sometimes look at the stacks of slides sitting in binders and think of the time and energy they represent. While I may have difficulty remembering what I did last week, I can look at one of my images and the story of the day comes back to me, and I remember all that went into them. Like you say, in the end, the memories will all that will be left.

I found your biography interesting to read and your images inspiring, truly impressive and passionate work.

Mark, thanks for visiting and for your comment. I must say I really enjoyed your images, but most of all I just loved your statement ... I know how it feels when you're there, it's like Edmund Hillary said when he was asked why does he wants to climb Mount Everest : "Because it's there!"...

So...I was really shocked viewing your landscapes. So incredible beautiful colours, si impressionistic, so incredible compositions. The images speak for themselves, are really amazing. Congrats and thank you for sharing

Beautiful, beautiful photos! And...again....:)))) Thanks for laughter you gave me...:)))) my English is funny but...you know your photo about cell phon...:)))

I have rated one or some of your photos and probably commented on one of them. Also, i have added you in my list and viewing your portfolio just left me with awe. I can see that there is NOT one photo that one can delete. You turn sceneries into very pleasing images like, "Cold Steel" for example. I respect your keen eye to the art and science of photography. Congratulations! - Lester

Hi Mark...You have taken some truly wonderful shots here. You have a great technique both with and without the camera, meaning PP :-)). Your biography is one of the only few that I have read and found interesting, it seems that you have come to terms with this "thirst" bug and actually become stronger by it. Anyway take care...Regards Keith

Nice portfolio you have Mark. Some really strong images, keep up the great work!

Great work, variety and quality!

Best regards, Gabi

Hi Mark, Your portfolio is truly amazing. You've captured a large variety of subjects, each with your own personal style. Besides having a good eye for composition, you are a master of postprocessing. People like you are a great inspiration for me.

Being an oilfield worker brought me to your image of the pumpjack. I am very impressed with your industrial section, as well as the rest of your portfolio! Great work.

Derrick

An absolutely magical portfolio! Well done indeed. I am really impressed.

All the best,

Rob

Nice folio you have here Mark.... Being the irresponsible sunrise/sunset chaser you are....You have tuned your craft well! I will check back soon.

Regards,

Mark

Awesome Portfolio over all, it has anything, Thanks for showing all the Filters and Tech Info. etc, Great Stuff in fairness

Mark,

You are definitely a very accomplished photographer, your work is well done and balanced nicely, how did you like the Muench workshop ? I have been considering a SW workshop with Alain Briot.

Ross

PS, your bio is great.

You have a monumental portfolio with excellent shots and great colours, congratulations ! Alex.

Just a short note to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It’s been another interesting year on PN and your postings and participation remain invaluable to me. If I ever need to know how to do something the correct way, I just have to peruse your "precious snapshots". I look forward to 2009. Thanks... Mike Mancil, Montgomery, Alabama, USA

Getting ready to head back out to Red Rock and see what's new. Before I go I wanted to thank you for all your support and wonderful comments on my photographs this past year. I really enjoyed photographing Yosemite with you, Chris and my good buddy Leo this summer. My Best to you and your wonderful family during this Holiday Season. May we have the chance to shoot together again in 2009. " Fung hay fat choy " and I hope that means Happy New Year in Chinese...RAY

Your portfolio is simply gorgeous, congrats! Very inspirational work! Happy clickings, Kon

Hello Mark, you have a splendid portfolio and I am going through some bits at a time. I add you as "interesting people" as I want to follow your work. I like your style and in many albums I see that we have the same interests. Hav a great day!

Very nice portfolio.

Interesting portfolio with great shoots, congratulations ! I like your portofolio but your presention page is misterious for me .I did not uderstand that part being a photographer is the mostly an irresponsable preocupation, also the part with your life that has nothing to do with applicable wisdom who knows maybe has something to do with. best regards RoxanaChiru

Beautiful imagery throughout, you are now among my favorites. Best regards, rek.

As a fellow Central Valley denizen, I very much enjoyed all of your work here. You have an uncanny ability to show the beauty of a region that is usually overlooked. The technical skill is very high, too. Placed you in my Interesting people list.

Having read your rather extensive philosophy on photography I had to comment. Sure it may seem irresponsible at times to spend so much time and money on something so impractical but we as photogaphers are blessed with those moments, the better parts of the day, when others pass them by and scurry off to their routine jobs failing to appreciate quite often the beauty that surrounds us. We live in such a beautiful world and to chronical that beauty is to honor the One who created it. To leaves images of that beauty for our memories and those that follow to enjoy them, such as you are doing,is a chore no less important than any other. I don't know if you are familiar with the story of Martha and Mary but Martha always chose to do the mundane tedious chores while Mary sought other things. Jesus said that she had chosen the better path.So I'm sure your comments were somewhat tounge in cheek,take heart because all that time and expense surely must lighten the load of a great number of people who take great pleasure in your passion and that of so many others on PN who provide art and beauty to the Marthas of this world. Take heart my friend your work is greatly appreciated and a legacy that will long endure. best regards,rek

Mark, I agree with Richard, your wonderful work is a joy to see, thanks for sharing it and teaching us about. Very interesting and lovely photos. Regards, Mari.
