As a teenager Mark S. Anderson lived “under canvas” every summer in northern Minnesota. One could say he has pine sap in his veins. Then, there was college, followed by the inevitable search for a livelihood. Anderson worked as a technician in the entertainment industry for much of his adult life. This work involved either lighting design or the installation of lighting equipment for theatrical events. The jump from lighting to photography is quite small. Thus he operated a small photo studio in Honolulu for 12 years. Subjects ranged from politicians to pizza. However, he was too busy earning a living with a camera to consider non-commissioned photographic pursuits — in other words, “Art.” In retirement Anderson has been able to pursue camera arts fully. He has never so enjoyed operating a camera … and the return to pine sap is a fringe benefit.
