There’s conventional light and shadows, but also such detail that these instruments seem to take up an abstract life of their own.

From the Author

I wanted the viewer to see these beautiful instruments from a completely different point of view. Not only by conventional light and shadows, but also in such detail that they seem to take up an abstract life of their own --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: The Art of Guitars, 2007 Wall Calendar (Spiral-bound)

This calendar is ART! Mark has a way of shooting guitars that lets you see the beauty of the workmanship. Each guitar is meticulously detailed so that no imperfections mar the shots. The camera angles are unique, focusing on the beauty of the instruments. They are very different from the usual phtots. Each month is better than the last. If you love guitars, you have to get this calendar. I just ordered a second one for my boss and my wife wants one, too!!!

I was overjoyed when the calendar arrived. The pictures are beautiful, and being quite partial to Stratocaster, I was very happy to see a few Strats in there. Keep up the good work! Strummin'Ronin.
