Bolts Check: Mark Welsh

Mark Welsh


I've known Mark for some time now. We have never been daily hanger outers, daily texters, or phone caller budies, only the occasional e-mail here and there, a trip maybe and a bit of bizness once in awhile. Mark has always struck a harmonious chord with me though, be it his smug smile at some dry humored thought he is carrying around, or a snazzy wit filled comment pertaining to the wackness in front of him. Or... Just that fact that he is down! Down for the moment, the jam, the work, the grind, raising his little girl, whatever it is, dude is committed to being a good human and making use of his soul. So without to much bull crap I introduce you to Mark Welsh.




What got you interested in photoging?

I thinking looking at shots from WWII and Vietnam



What's you primary subjects (that pay bills)?

What's your prefered subjects?
