Studio 333

Mark Rollins – East Bay Photographer’s August Exhibition

Jim Walberg  finally discovered the photographic art of East Bay’s Mark Rollins last week!  A dear friend – Joan Diamond,  and I were sharing lunch at the Lafayette Park Hotel’s Bistro   last week.  During our lunch Joan asked if I was attending the gallery show at Studio 333 in Sausalito  August 22^nd of Mark’s latest photographic works.  I let her know I was unaware of the show. (The photo to the left is “The Kiss!”)

I love art – all forms of art.  Photography is one of my favorites.  So, as Joan continued to describe the work that Mark is most noted for I became more intrigued to learn more.  Here is what I discovered.  First, a thought from Eric Lindsey taken from the introduction to Mark’s latest photography book – My Life And Art – and the photography of Mark Rollins.

“From the first image I saw, I knew instantly that he had ‘the talent’.  But, who am I to tell you – you’ll see.  Mark’s pictures are worth…Zero words.  What his pictures are worth are a zillion vibrations of beauty and finely captured resonance of…Moment.  The moment in the universe in which the picture called out – to be taken.”  Eric Lindsey – March 2009 Read more
