Mark Raymond Mason grew up in British Columbia, Canada and was very close to nature throughout his whole childhood. His parents took him to explore as soon as he could walk. He was naturally creative and a very curious child, but in high school, he was given a camera for the first time by one of his teachers. After he moved out of his parents home, he travelled for a long time and learned many new skills such as shoe cobbling, English teaching, and ranch-handing. Whilst rock climbing, he met his wife Terri. He sold his broken down car, which is where he got the money to buy his camera.

Earl A. Jones

Earl A. Jones has had a massive interest in photography since getting his very first SLR camera at the age of 12. He was a photographer for the yearbook at his highschool. When Jones graduated high school, he stopped doing photography for a while, as he didn't like the process of printing the photos. When digital cameras started being developed and sold, Jones decided to get back into photography. He got his first digital SLR camera back in 2007 and is enjoying photography once again.
"I enjoy many types of photography including landscape, portrait, architecture, street, and night. I have a special interest in fine art, still life, and conceptual motifs."
