My Blog Has Moved!

My blog has moved!


Hey everyone! Thank you very much for reading and following my blog for the past year or so. Since the recent launch of my website markforephotography.com I've been battling Blogger's limited options on designing and incorporating this blog to fit seamlessly within it. That is why I must finally throw in the towel when it comes to blogger and use a wordpress format. So my friends if you are a fan of this blog the new site to view it is, blog.markforephotography.com I have a lot of new and exciting things coming up this year and I can't wait to show you all! Thanks again!
-Mark

Castle Rock Climbing

Yesterday My buddies and I went climbing at Castle Rock. A good day of climbing for sure, I got a few routes but I was more interested in taking pictures for most of the trip. It's really beautiful out there and it's one of the first decent climbing areas I've found in the Bay Area.

An Analog Weekend (expired film)

There is still something a little magical about using film. It really makes you think about your shots especially when your using flash without a meter. I love it and I try to take the initiative and shoot at least a couple rolls a month. I've decided that for all my own personal albums I'm going to take the analog approach. I shoot thousands of frames of digital each month for other people so I've decided than rather loose them in that vast collection, I'll just shoot a few rolls, get them processed and have those prints forever.
Anyways, I had a great time in slo this weekend. I love that city, and I really want to move back when I get a chance.








Bowl Skating.



Every now and then photographers take pictures that they inexplicitly love, and this is one of them for me. This is Connor, he's 7 and one rad little dude.

Little Shredders

Well Summer is here! Which usually means one thing for me, working at a camp! I've been working at camps since I've graduated high school and finally after 4 years I'm put in charge of one. And let me tell you being director is awesome. I go to skate parks everyday and teach the little kids the fundamentals. Anyways I'm also taking pictures of the campers for there parents. Here are some portraits of my little shredders.

Petersen Family Photoshoot

The Petersen's are a great family that I have known for years and I was stoked that they wanted me to do a shoot for fathers day for them. Mr. Petersen loves cars and he wanted a shoot showing all of the cars that he has bought for his family. This was a really fun and exciting shoot and I'm stoked to go back soon and shoot his Audi R8 and the Dodge Viper in a more closed studio environment. The shoot started at one due to time constraints so not the most premium of lighting scenario (especially when you don't have any lights) but it was a good and fun challenge coming up with a way to make these cars look great with the limitations placed on me. Anyways here is a few shots from the shoot it was super fun!
