Bloomberg Businessweek: Harold Hamm in Oklahoma City
Harold Hamm has a pretty remarkable story. He grew up in a poor family as the youngest of 13 kids. He worked his way up from pumping gas at his hometown station to now owning his own multi billion dollar oil development company. He's the 33rd richest person in America with a net worth of around $9 billion.

Christopher Hitchens RIP
Christopher Hitchens passed away today and I'm sad. I spent a day with him in 2007 on an assignment for The New York Times and it was certainly one of the most memorable days of my young career. Regardless of whether I agreed with his views, specifically politically, I became fully fascinated by him and enjoyed exchanging emails here and there. After the shoot, I sent him a box of prints from our time together and a few days later the phone rang and I picked up to hear, "Mark, Hitch here." He'd called to thank me for the prints and for letting me know that I'd calmed his nerves before he left for his book tour by letting him know in advance that the NY Times had given his book (God is not Great) a rave review. He was just a delightful man and I already miss him.

Here's a fun memory, but a particularly bad picture of me drinking a midday glass of scotch with Hitchens. Click here.
The Savannah College of Art and Design Video
The Savannah College of Art and Design chose one past alumni to do a short film about from each of the school's artistic concentrations. From the photography department, they kindly chose to feature me. In early August, they followed me for a few days. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the final product.

Dwell Special Issue: Best Homes in America
Dwell Magazine has just released a special issue with their ten favorite homes in America. They've done an expanded reprint of two stories I shot for them over the past few years. They treated the imagery very well, running each story as ten pages.
