About Steve Marks 

 

Hello all and welcome to my website (which is still very much "Under Construction")

 

My name is Steve Marks, and I'm a New Zealander with a fairly serious case of Wanderlust who's been

wandering the globe for the last half decade (although usually living in friendly Camden Town, London, in

between wanders ;-).  That's me over to the right, outside Suwon International Football Stadium in South

Korea back during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. 

 

I first developed an interest in photography back in Wellington, New Zealand, after admiring the photographic

work of a friend.  I found an old, fully manual Minolta for sale in the Trade and Exchange which I took on my

first lot of travels through Asia and on to London for the first time.   I've since spent the last 5 years making

London my home and going on periodic wanders mainly around Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North

Africa but with occasional wanders elsewhere.  

 

I made the conversion from film to digital a little over a year ago. These days I shoot with a Canon EOS 5d

- it cost a few pennies but its a great piece of kit.   Although I held on to my Canon EOS 30, so on those

occasions I do feel like shooting off a nice roll of slide film I still can.  

 

I enjoy keeping a pretty varied approach to my wanderings - from trekking through the Moroccan Sahara to

skiing in Bulgaria, from sleeping in a bamboo hut in Laos with only a communal hole in the ground for a toilet

to the ritzyness of Cannes and St Tropez on the south coast of France, from riding a snow-mobile across a

glacier in Iceland to exploring Crusader Castles in the hills of Syria....  I've liked the word "eclectic" since I first

learnt what it meant and I like it more each year ;-)

 

My next major bout of travelling kicks off in January 2008, when I take 5 months to travel from Mexico City down

to Costa Rica - via Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. 

 

I'm looking forward to it. A lot.
