I enjoy the end of your posts when you show where and how your images were useded by the various media. I a guy was local, what would be some local media that might be looking for photos. We have a newspaper, University and many charities. Would these be places to make contacts?

You are a fantastic sports photographer. But what separates you from the others is your constant determination to add creativity when possible. Great work.

Mark,

Fantastic photography, thank you as always for telling us the metadata of your photos and thought process of each photo. And good to see a photo of the man behind the camera.

Dear Mark,
I am a young teenager who has been working very hard to learn everything i can about photography.
I have been in love with motorsports for the last ten years or so when i started racing JR dragster. Currently my brother races a Blown alcohol Dragster and i have been working to take better pics for him and our team.
I understand that you are an extremely busy man and i do not wish for much of your time.
Your pictures are absolutely amazing and i was hoping it might be possible for you and i to talk about motorsports photography sometime. I would lve to learn more and you are deffinetly the best of the best.

Thanks
Kameron

Once again your pictures are astonishing.

Mark,

Like that you included the shooting setting you were using on these shots – helps even more to understand how you were shooting to get the fantastic photos you do.

Great shots as usual Mark. I love your commentary and notes.

It is good that even the best (which you are by far) rely on a little luck sometimes to get a great shot, although you seem to take so many great shots so often that most of itseems to be skill and knowing what to shoot and when.

Awesome pictures… you really brought out the action and felt like I was there. So much better than all the generic shots. I too love the explanations. Great job!

Nice work as usual – and I agree, that last portrait is very cool.

Also, thank you for adding the mode you shot the pictures in; I’ve always wondered if you shoot mostly manual or aperture priority.
