A Little About Me...... "Well where do you ever start with these personal pages...history...present...? That sounds good, let's start with the present. In other available moments I help as a Beta Tester for Adobe® testing out their lead graphics programs Photoshop and their new file management software Bridge. I've been certified in Photoshop since version five many years ago. I'm extremely proficient in their entire creative suite and have been using their software for almost a decade now.
I've been lucky enough to live in Silicon Valley/The Bay Area for the past ten years and not get swallowed up into the masses. I've had the joy of working with some of the largest corporations in the area and with some of the most amazingly talented people. It's assisted me, being in such a diverse and creative fast paced area. If I'm not working on a design project then I'm probably out taking photographs. As a professional photographer I try to keep a healthy balance between a working skill, and nurturing the creative side of that tool. I love shooting outdoors on location and experimenting with the array of equipment I own. Constantly showing other people locations throughout the Bay to capture photographs, I am always on the look out for a new scene, a candid moment or place waiting to tell it's story. On the dark nights too cold to shoot I have my music. I've been a working professional musician in America since I moved back here over a decade ago. Before that I performed and worked in a variety of projects in the United Kingdom. I've toured all over America as well, playing drums, guitar, bass, singing, and more. If I'm not holding the instrument and you see me at a show or venue then there's a good chance I'm the live sound engineer. I've been mixing sound in and out of professional studios most of my life. Experienced with some of the latest techniques in digital recording I've helped engineer and produce a multitude of albums for myself and various artists. If that's not enough for you I'm also married to an amazing woman, have two dogs that we love to death and I make a mean pizza. If you can't tell I dont' like sitting still and I'm rarely bored. I'm extremely committed, a workaholic for sure and that's just the tip of the iceberg...now who's for pizza?" — Mark PS: If you would like a resume, professional references or anything just get in touch through my contact page. |
