Mark exhibits in the ART of RECOVERY show

A few years ago Mark's home was robbed. Two of thieves were sent to jail. Of the things returned were two of his cameras. On one of the memory cards were photos the thieves took of themselves. From these photos Mark made a painted photo series titles, "Thug". Selections from this series will be on display at the "Art of Recovery" exhibition at the Minnesota State Arts Board.

Mark shoots Villa Rosa!

Last summer Mark shot the new rap group Villa Rosa. We thought the pics were for basic promotion but Villa Rosa's Muja Messiah and Maria Isa decided to put them on their new CD that came out in September of 2010.

here is a link to Villa Rosa's music. I wish them all the luck, please check them out. It was a blast to shoot these photos in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts with Jon Jon Scott and Matthew Bakkom.  

Trampoline's Wisconsin Premiere!

My film, Trampoline, will have its Wisconsin Premeire at the Driftless Film Fest October 7th!

The DFF is based in Baraboo and 4 towns in central Wisconsin. It is the brainchild of Nicholas Langholff to bring independent cinema to this part of the state. They are showing 67 films. Trampoline will play twice, once on Friday 10/7 at 9:15pm in Baraboo and on Saturaday 10/8 in Mineral Point. You can buy Tickets online as of September 29th, here is the link:Driftless Tickets. I will be in attendance for the screenings, I hope to see you there. Also please like Trampoline on FB if you haven't yet!

March on St.Paul

On Thursday June 30th, I marched on St. Paul. I was lucky to be inspired to make a sign that said, "Great Wealth=Great Responsiblity" Well, the press liked it and I got some attention on the St.Paul Pioneer Press website,
