Invitation
I don’t care who you are or what you’ve done, if you want to be free of the psychological and emotional past that holds you by repeating in your life I’ll show you how. If you need what I have to give it’s yours for the asking. The invitation is conditional only on that.
I can’t see me doing the ’rounds’ of the so-called ‘Spiritual’ circuit or advertising anywhere but here so this is the place to get in touch. I am what you see, or read, or hear. And I have no ambition to be anything else. I just do my best. Miracles I leave to the miracle workers. :)

Anybody at all who knows the value of peace of mind and has done something practical about it, or wants to, is welcome to join me for a walk in our nature, shoot some macro – or other, talk of what’s important, have a cup of tea … Just people doing simple things, where peace of mind comes first.
Maybe see you some time. And if you want something to talk with me about read the other pages over on top right of this page, to get the most out of our time.
All the best. M

I intend to travel soon, once I find the right van, in whatever direction is best for the subject – nature, bugs/macro and peace of mind, probably starting after the wet with Kakadu NP and beyond towards the Kimberleys. And after I find the right van, I’m a budget traveller.
If anybody is interested in meeting up let me know and we’ll see if it happens.
Have you heard the joke? When Man announces his plans God laughs! :)

Hi Mark,
Your photographs are inspirational. I want to start learning how to work in macro. The type of photography really excites me. I’ve had a fascination for bugs for a long time, even have a pet stick insect. And well photography has also just been there in the back ground, something I was always going to really get into one day. I’ve just completed a basic photography class, and have just purchased my first macro lens. I just want to have fun learn more and do it purely for enjoyment. I would love to get some invaluable advice and tips from you. I could only ever dream to get the results you achieve but I’d really appreciate any guidance.
April.
Hello April. The place to start is http://beingmark.com/macro-illustrated/ if you haven’t already. It’s the rundown on what and how I do it. After that, and you still want and are in Brisbane, get in touch and we’ll take it from there. Or where are you?
I might be travelling after the summer, to Kakadu and beyond. And other places or directions next year. I’d be willing to meet up with people on my way if that’s what works. I’ll post my intentions so it might be an idea to subscribe if you are interested, top right of page and confirm by email.
And when you find what works for you, practise …
If your travels bring you to the states, there is some great wildlife here in the Flint Hills, Kansas. :)
Thanks Rachel. You never know what’s around the corner … Wonderful nature. ((:
Mark, I am moved by your site. It has a quiet, peaceful and sometimes sad mood, and by the sometimes sad, I mean that as a compliment. Sad can be beautiful too. The photography is stunning and your words are gentle. Would love to hear your adventures when you travel in your van. Am thinking of doing something similar but probably not this year.
Terry
Thanks Terry. The best way to keep up on what’s happening is by subscription, top right of any page and confirm by link in email.
Sad? Well, it’s the human condition. Maybe comes through as that. ((:
thanks mark. will subscribe when i get home. do you really think the human condition is sad? always? or just most of the time…:)
No doubt about it. In our time money comes first and subverts the simplicity of being, of love, complicates it with the fears of self. It’s really an avoidance of love, or peace, or being. That’s sad, or …, until it doesn’t matter any more.
We wouldn’t know it if it was all the time, it’s the contrast that allows realisation and spurs the will to resolve, eventually. Because the imperative is to improve, finally. So sad doesn’t mean hopeless.
Thanks Chloe but it’s not an escape, it’s an acknowledgment. I see it as a means of illustrating the beauty and intelligence in nature – the best I can, and I enjoy it too.
Peaceful is the whole point.
i like your blog, it’s different from other photography blogs around the traps.
i think, like me, photography seems to be your “out let” an escape from life (rat race & all). it’s a lovely quiet & inspirtional thing you have going on here & i will be back to visit more
i was peaceful when looking through your posts
I am delighted you enjoyed it so much Tracy. And feel free to pass on the site address to anyone you think might value receiving it. Maybe see you some time.
All the best.
Hi Mark
Just wanted to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the time that I have spent reading your website and being presented with the opportunity in the busyness of everyday life ( something that I still allow to keep me separate ) to reconnect with the simplicity and beauty of creation.
Coming back to the present moment and reading allows my busy mind to become in tune with life not being about the dream and illusions of the world but that my heart opens and my mind quietens to remember my essence, the unified self and my oneness with God and that that is all that matters.
I feel truly blessed that we have crossed paths I have found your site inspiring and will continue to read.
I am not able to come to your gathering at Brunswick Heads due to prior commitments but would definitely be interested in catching up sometime in the future.
You have a beautiful day and thank you for taking the time out to contact me. I am hoping it is okay to pass your sight onto others that I feel maybe interested.
