About Me

" As a photographer of staged work when I lie, I am closer to the truth than documentary photography." ______ Gallery Sink.com ..click_____________________________________________________ ________ _________________ ...... Artist, photographer, curator, teacher. Art i like the most sells the least. I am passion driven. I enjoy helping people. I love women .. strong women. I love building and starting things. i'm a professional skier, X bicycle racer... love wilderness trips. I like gardening, sticking my fingers in the earth when i'm under pressure... In all aspects of my life I like to bring things right up to the edge. I don't keep a safety margin. People tell me I have social terets, speaking before I think. I believe in chance. Letting go to chance. I believe much of art, science and life are founded by chance, more then anyone wants to admit. I try to really let chance happen but it is very hard. We live in a fail safe world. We are all programmed now. I try to teach my students how to let go and fail ..take a chance and try not to be afraid to fail. Above all I believe in honesty and truth , its free, and its one of the highest virtues one can gain in this short life.my site www.gallerysink.com/ my blog marksinkphotography.blogspot.com/ my great grand fathers blog jameslbreese.blogspot.com/ my month of photography blog www.303photo.blogspot.com/ flicker flickr.com/photos/marksink/ myspace www.myspace.com/gallerysink youtube www.youtube.com/marksink linked in www.linkedin.com/in/marksinkphotography del.icio.us del.icio.us/marksink noknock www.noknockroom.com/cover/andy/andywarhol.php lomo diana + www.lomography.com/diana/experts/interview_marksink festival of light www.festivaloflight.org/ thesight www.thesight.com my bistro zcuisinedenver.blogspot.com/ my friends http://hatgifinger.blogspot.com/ http://newsfromdamarisland.blogspot.com/ http://www.vanillabeane.blogspot.com/ http://rachelhawthorn.blogspot.com/ http://pattinyc.blogs.com/ http://alecsoth.com/blog/ http://amysteinphoto.blogspot.com/

I collect books so its hard to say... Polly Borland's The Babies, 101 Useless Inventions. The Rise of Creative Class, Books on the nude .. Jack Kerouac, Francisca Woodman's monographs, the bio of Peter the Great...all moved me greatly. Recently i have been into books about people, art and events that general history forgot about. Lots of technical manuals trying keep up with this over hyped run-away digital train.This is the last several months from Amazon: Loretta Lux. The Art of Frederick Sommer : Photography, Drawing, Collage. The Valley Larry Sultan. Rineke Dijkstra Portraits: Retrospective, Kiki's Memoirs by Kiki; Hemingway, Ernest; Foujita; Ray, Man; Putnam, Samuel... The Lost Drawings by Poulton, Tom. Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters... David Hockney. Vermeer's Camera: Uncovering the Truth Behind the Masterpieces. Western Rider: Views from a Car Window

Heroes:

Andy Warhol, Bums because they have the least enviromental impact of anyone.
