"I went on my first LightChase tour with Mark to the Oregon coast and was impressed by his attention to the details of the tour logistics. I didn't have to do anything but show up at the Portland airport. Since photography is all about capturing the best light we often had to be on location before sunrise. I learned that Mark has a built-in GPS because he can find the most obscure shooting locations in the dark. I remember following him through the reeds along a stream bed wondering where is he taking us? After we stopped and the sun began to rise, it became immediately obvious why we were there. I don't ask that question anymore. I also learned much more than I ever expected to about composition and how weather affects light."
