Orbs - Mark Neuenschwander (Dec. 14, 2017)

His full name is Mark Neuenschwander- if you can get the pronunciation right, he will give you a hug the next time he sees you. It will be a firm, pleasant hug, but not overly long or uncomfortable. Mark is a commercial/editorial photographer residing in Joplin, MO, and the owner and operator of 9art Photography. He has a lovely wife of 12 years who also does many creative things, and they raise a couple of miniature versions of themselves who are very full of personality and ridiculousness. He enjoys living in a small city thinking of becoming a big one, and contributing to local culture in whatever ways he can. Working with artists is his passion outside of his craft. He spends a lot of time studying the creative brain, mentoring, creating art community and figuring out how to help others (and himself) work more efficiently. He is a regular at the local coffee shop, a huge movie nerd (Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright, and the Coen Brothers are a few of his favorite directors), a vinyl collector, and a guy that gets seriously excited about really good beer, coffee, and cheese... marknphoto.com 9artphoto.com
