Hi!  I’m Mark, and I live in North Carolina.  I travel a lot for my work, these days with frequent visits to the UK and Australia.  Over many hundreds of thousands of miles, I’ve learned about business travel through direct experience, and I’ve had the good fortune to experience many locations and sample lots of cultures, each with it’s cool, interesting parts, each with it’s quirks.  I love to pick up on something specific, a fascinating detail that is quintessential to a place or a person.  If it’s funny, that’s even better, since my sense of humor gravitates towards the silly and absurd.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with images.  As a child, I loved to draw, from a young age I’ve owned at least one camera.  I have had a 40-year, on-again, off-again affair with photography, and it’s through this lens that I’ll be sharing my perspectives.

This blog is about my experiences in life, seen through the eyes of a frequent traveler and business leader.  If something in here pleases you, makes you smile, laugh, or say “yes” out loud, please feel free to tell me in a comment.  If you disagree, please tell me that too, but I do ask that you keep it respectful.  I’ll delete comments that contain hurtful or disrespectful language or content.

Thanks for reading this far… hope you enjoy my QuotationMarks.
