Welcome to 'Mark Raymond Mason, Fine Art Photography', featuring abstract photography galleries from rural and urban areas in Canada and around the world.  Thanks for visiting!

This website showcases a collection of my photographic efforts from the past 10 years.  If you like my work, please leave your thoughts in my guestbook before you go.  Enjoy my photographs!

WHAT'S NEW?
After more than 2 years away, I've finally added 7 more photographs to the site. I'm shooting digitally now, and the new work is more casual and fun than the film photography of old. I've also updated the look of the site, and I'm slowly working towards publishing a mobile-friendly version. IE6 users will now have to upgrade before using MarkRaymondMason.com. I've got more time to devote to photography now, so keep an eye out for new work! (Apr 25, 2010)

I've added 5 new photographs to galleries 3, 5 and 6, and to the 'More Photos' section. The new work is from this past summer - abstract images from a recent trip to Greece and photographs from a hiking trip during the summer. The new photographs explore the idea of surfaces as whole objects, and the void photography creates between 2 and 3 dimensions. (Dec 16, 2008)

I just finished a complete rewrite of my first Basics of Photography tutorial, adding interactive illustrations to help clarify some concepts. I also updated some older film photography references to make the tutorial more relevant to modern digital photography. Enjoy! (Nov 30, 2008)

I've just finished adding new photographs to galleries 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The work is all new, from the last 6 months or so. Much is from a photography trip into rural and small-town California. I'm very happy with the work I did at some informal junkyards in California and Calgary, as well as my first attempts at black and white portraiture and nude photography! (Jun 10, 2008)

Nine more photographs have been added to galleries 2, 3 and 4 and to the 'More Photos' section. The new work begins to explore urban areas in earnest: I have been finding thought-provoking, abstract subjects in the city, including some burnt abandoned houses. There is more rural work from the last 6 months as well. Photographs from a recent photography trip to California will be posted soon! (Feb 10, 2008)
