Description
Hi Everyone,
I've been absent, and I'm sorry it's taken me from all of you. I've seen everything you've posted however...I just haven't been able to comment for a while. My great apologies.
The last year has been a "health" year: I've had several problems I needed to address, and they've consumed me. Further, at 77, I'm trying to avoid back surgery: So I get treatments and physical therapies instead. (And lots of rest.) Sorry I'm so absent. You all have meant the world to me.
Steve's Birthday
Today---May 17---is Steve's birthday (eekdog).
Instead of sending art privately, I decided to put them online, as Steve's been through some difficult times. And I'll visit all of you the next week, and I'll leave some comments. i miss you all, and won't forget you.
Steve likes my crazy montages, so I'm posting 9 for him---in 3 uploads.
All photos and manips are mine (no AI). If they're not terribly 'original', it's only 'cause I've done so little art. Hope you like 'm anyway.
I wish you all health, wholeness, love and peace, and hope you all find it everyday. Enjoy! mark
(ps---the third image is a photo---no manipulation) (these are all fuller, at full size)

Its great to view your art again...these are amazing photos for Steve to enjoy on his B-day and admire! No need to apologize my friend as most of us often experience the difficulties and challenges that life brings our way...enjoy the day Mark! :-)
huge thanks for your wishes and you are in my prayers on your back and hope no surgery at all my dear friend. love your photo manip, you are the master of these. here in my city there is no POV to capture a super photo like this. love all three.
Wonderful series of images to mark Steve's birthday!
Wonderful trio of color and cheer for Steve! Great job on all!
So... You and I (and Stevie Nicks) are the same age (The Sexy 77's ? LOL) I'm beginning to get very familiar with those "health" years. For us, 2026 has sucked bodaciously. This 'getting older' stuff is overrated. Beats the alternative, I agree, but still....
Hope to post one tonight for Steve..
Happy belated Birthday, Steve! Hoping you're now in better times, preferably forever..
Hi Mark, you did very interesting photo manipulations and love them all. The first one is very spectacular, because it looks like the city is under water, with trees, people, cars, a.s.o. A great idea.
For you also I'm sending hope and blessings, take care my friend Mark.
Beautiful city scenes done in your cool style!
