making his mark

Mark took some incredible photos while he was on his trip! We were both impressed when we uploaded them to the computer. For simplicity reasons I divided the photos into little categories. So without further ado...

CLOUDS

Those are gorgeous photographs!!!! I've heard from people I worked with who were deployed to Diego that those ltitle crabs actually come up onto the area where they sleep when the tide comes in and it's crabs everywhere! Those storm shots from above are amazing!

I hate getting to your posts to say something when 85 other people have already said everything I'm thinking... for some reason it makes my comments less valuable! But actually nobody has said my initial thoughts, which were that you ought to contact Microsoft and sell some of those for computer backgrounds! Haha! Serious, I bet they'd do it. Those are awesome. Mark's either really talented or you have an awesome camera!
