Yesterday I went to visit my friend, Mark Peterson, in his new studio. Mark has had a brilliant career in computer stuff and still managed to nurture the love for photography he’s had since he was a kid. Great that dreams never die. Over the years he’s chipped away and even sent a camera up on a little motorized toy airplane to get aerial shots of life on the planet. Now he’s quit his job, rented a real artist’s studio, painted it ‘Gropius grey’ to better view his work against a neutral background, installed daylight spectrum track lighting and set up his great printer. He’s having an open house next week and the work he’s exhibiting is stunning.
This is a cool time of life—kids are grown and there’s a roof overhead. Artists can really get a move on at this point and it’s great that people like Mark, who has such a passion for photography, are seizing the opportunity to make their art a priority. His images are mostly arhitectural and when I look at them I realize I’m seeing the city in a whole new way. Check them out on his website.
Mark also does beautiful giclee printing for any of you artists out there who want prints of your work. www.fineutility.com
