Mark established Kram Kran Photo in 2016. The name comes from Mark’s first name backwards, and the first four letters of his last name, just to have something different and make people think a little creatively. With a passion for photography, Mark’s creative visions came to life. In 2017, Hurricane Irma hit Jacksonville, FL and Mark was in the Olmsted-brothers designed Memorial Park, a community favorite that unfortunately suffered terrible damage. He captured an image titled “Life In The River” which showed the spirit of victory over life’s storms. While Mark enjoys capturing many types of photography, his favorite is landscapes. When Mark isn’t roaming the South, he calls the mountains of western North Carolina home with his wife, Kristin, and his two step sons. They love the seasons, great food, cats, cozy fires, and a good hike.
