Portrait Project #14

This is Mark who is much more at home on the other side of the camera. He is an award winning, accomplished, professional photographer. Mark has done some amazing projects for National Geographic, BBC, PBS, dozens of companies and is also a film maker, producer and musician who writes scores for many of the shows you have seen on television. He was in Florida at the Silver Springs State Park to put up an exhibit of photographs from the park and I happened upon him as I was wandering around the park. We talked a bit about his work, his photographs, and I looked at one of his books that was on display. I asked him if I could take his photograph and why, he agreed. However he was a bit stoic, so I said something like, I was sorry this was such an ordeal for him and that elicited a smile. Then he said, when he realized what I did produced the smile, “This is not your first rodeo.” I took that from him as a compliment. You must visit Mark’s website at https://markemeryfilms.com
