| ~ Welcome ~ Looking back to my favorite camera the Nikon F5, I found it strange to handle the F6. The controls on the F5 were perfectly placed and I could operate it in total darkness. Since digital took over, I use all types of cameras and find the smaller bodies aren't so bad when you have to hike uphill for miles :) |

| Mission Statement Nature is the driving force behind my career. Growing up in rural areas it was natural to spend more time in the wilderness than indoors. Even though I photograph a variety of assignments, outdoor photography is still the heart of my business. Not everyone lives in a rural area and it’s a moral obligation to promote a greener lifestyle and hope that each person takes steps to conserve our natural resources and preserve our world. This is a lifestyle, passion, and desire to have a greener planet for our future generations to enjoy. Please help preserve our Natural Lands and Wildlife. Mark LaMonica - Photographer |
