Mark,
Excellent article. You write almost as evocatively as you photograph.
One nit: the link to your site at the bottom of the article is misspelled (the second "p" is missing).

Should be all fixed now.

Still no joy with that link.
It's rewarding to see the good work being made with a m4/3s camera.

Agree. Excellent photography. Great article.
Now we need an article on the the American landscape portfolio, which (I peeked) and is equally superb.

Great article and enjoyable images.

As everyone else has said, it's a great article, well written, with stunning photos.
It's great to see those scenes from Germany. Mark's images on LuLa have always had his own kind of special magic.

Very good body of work.

I loved the article. It is well written, inspiring and evocative.
A very good way to start the day...
Thank you Mark!

Great to see some of Mark's best. Looking forward to the next part.

I'd also like to thank and commend Mark for his interesting article and wonderful photos.
I recall Ramstein from the 70s. All US bases and posts in Germany have changed a lot. And many have disappeared.

Rammstein got started in the '90s. The oft-dissonant machine metal band, that is. ;D
Enjoyed the article a lot. A girlfriend of mine in the 1980s grew up in Heidelberg, which is fairly close to the AFB.

Nice images and story, thks for sharing.
It may be over simplistic, but my own summary and takeaway is just be there, just wakeup and be there where the light is playing with the world.
Cheers,

Not simplistic: spot on. But you missed out "and have the eye - and the sensitivity - to see what's in front of you".

Great article and images. I spent 5 years in Germany (Harheim) in the early to mid-70s. Your images so much remind me of the wonderful years those were. Like you, I took up photography and spent so much time exploring, shooting and printing my images. I long to go back and visit my favorite places. Thank you for the memories.

Some lovely black/whites! Remind me of one late return from Britain to Spain, and driving through similar valley fog in the Dordogne... makes everthing so much more interesting not to see all the details. Not nice to drive, but pleasing to the eye.

Indeed Jeremy, that's very true, I had sort taken that part for granted since that's IMHO the most imporant asset of a photographer.
Cheers,

I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind comments about my article and the LL for printing it. Germany is where I cut my photographic teeth and will always carry a special place in my heart. I still have all of those pictures of my external hard drive, the good, bad, and ugly. It doesn't matter really. What matters most to me, even more than the captures is the TRUE EXPERIENCE of being there and taking it in. Being a part of nature is what I seek and Germany provided that and so much more.
Now, Utah and the southwest...TBC

Hey Mark - late to the party, and all I can do is echo what everyone else has already said - great work, and interesting background! Whenever I see an image posted by you it's always worth a look :)

Thank you for the wonderful photographs

That's a very important point that resonates with me. Being there, and appreciating the scenery, the culture and the people, is the main purpose in my own photography.
The processes of photography are an additional motivation, to spend more time at a location in search of an unusual and/or interesting scene or turn of events, or to explore different perspectives of a particular scene in search of something unusual or pleasing or meaningful.
I don't really care if I don't make any money from my photography, although I do have one or two polyptychs which I would quite happily sell for a million dollars or so. ;D
