Prominently displayed next to the candy was a breathtaking display of images on a 12 month calendar. After begging for, and getting, the calendar, Mark was swept away in the beautiful landscape images on the calendar. After noticing Mark’s interest in photography, his grandmother gave him a plastic 35mm camera, the type you get when you purchase a minimum order of mail order makeup. The mold was set. Fast forward 35 years…. Mark McCall operates a medium volume studio in Lubbock Tx. specializing in wedding, portrait and commercial photography. Mark had one of the first fully digital studios in Texas and is TPPA’s resident expert on technology and workflow. He regularly beta tests for many photography based software companies, and is webmaster for the Southwest Professional Photographers Association, as well several other photographic based websites. Mark was awarded the 2007 Photographer of the Year Awards from both PPA and SPPPA, and his work has been published in several photography magazines and publications.
