My name is Mark Sean Orr. I have lived in Indiana all my life and enjoy photography and genealogy as hobbies. I'm also a music and movie lover and I love biogrpahies, book and TV. I play guitar,drums and trumpet. I was in the rock band Night Shift for 6 years.
I take photos of almost anything in my area of the midwest. I enjoy learning new editing techniques like HDR and just showing the world what my home here in Henry County a.k.a. Raintree County looks like. I also enjoy viewing other people's art and listening to new artists/musicians.
Artist Statement There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. ~Ansel Adams
