I'm so pleased to hear your commitment to our photographic education and the exciting future for you, your family, and us!! It is wonderful to know there are people like yourself that care about others and try to make the world a better, more optimistic place. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm looking forward to 2025 and Camversation taken to the next level! Warmest regards and best wishes to you and your family! John H. Ontario, Canada
Congratulations Mark. I'm pretty new to Camversations, but have enjoyed the few presentations I have signed up for. All the best and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Here's to an exciting 2025. Hopefully some meetups in Ontario Canada as well.
Thanks so much for all the hard work Mark. I have thoroughly enjoyed the presentations and often scroll through the On Demand feature for more inspiration in my photography. Have a wonderful Christmas and best wishes in your new endeavours.
Good luck Mark. A brave step and wishing you the very best for taking it forward. Been with you for a couple of years now and like the way you have developed as a photographic rescource. I'm more then happy to be a guinea pig. I'm retired so can be available , (with notice), to suit. Based in the UK. Regards Paul
Such a brave step, Mark, but I am sure you will enjoy the challenge with the support of Camversation members. All the best and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Wow Mark, I’m so thrilled for you. You’ve gone with your passion and now you can watch it grow into something even better. I’m a newish member and I love what you are doing. Thank you so much for making learning easy and for creating so many opportunities!!! Sending big hugs. xxx
Congratulations! So happy for you!!! Truly exciting and I love your enthusiasm. When you’re ready to think about Meetups in the US - feel free to get in touch. Besides being a retired meetings and events coordinator, I also live in an area on the East Coast that is robust with beautiful landscapes, interesting cities and towns - and robust historical significance. The War of Independence was fought on the local land here…and reminders are plentiful (in all good ways). In all seriousness, your British” ancestors arrived in these parts in the late 1600’s and left broad and deep roots. Feel free to email me anytime for additional information. I also have many photography contacts here including photo clubs if coordination of some kind is of interest. All the best - Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and see you in 2025!
Hi Mark - Only just catching up on your recent news and WOW what news!!! Congratulations!!! No doubt you'll be having some doubts about your decision to go self-employed, but ret assured it will be okay. The last 15years of my working life was spent contracting in the IT market on short term projects, at first I had the fear of 'what if I can't get another contract' but that never happened. Why? Because hard word & determination were my calling card and building up a good reputation meant I was always in demand. I see these traits in you and so I can only see successful outcomes for you and Camversation. My advice, don't try to put too many new plans into action straight away as your time & energies will be spread across too many projects, better to delivery one project 100% successfully than five failed projects. Good Luck and I look forward to seeing more from Camversation. Cheers Stu (Wellington, NZ)
Well done and I’m not in the least surprised. Having seen from the early days how this has grown I’ve been thinking that this must now seem like a full time job for you. Wishing you all success
I echo all the good wishes and congratulations from other members. It's been major decision to come to but I know you will make it a great success. Many thanks for all the wonderful content of Camversation and I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous 2025.
A big decision to make Mark, and I wish you all the very best as you go forward with Camversation MkII. I look forward to getting more information on how you propose to develop Camversation, and will add comments/suggestions as I feel they are appropriate. Good luck.
Fantastic, camversations is brilliant, great speakers / presenters all held together by you Mark, doing an amazing job. Congratulations on taking this further and evolving the whole concept. A very merry Christmas to you and your family...see you in the New Year..
Wow, I'm a fairly recent member and I sure love what I've seen so far. Wish you all the very best Mark in this continued project which has grown into full time occupation for you. Merry Christmas to you and your family , from Québec City.
Wonderful news and plans for the future of Camversation, Mark! Very exciting to see this passion of yours grow, expand, and evolve in such meaningful ways that are a benefit to all involved. I've always loved your generous and joyful spirit, and I feel very blessed and honored to have been a part of Camversation since nearly the beginning. Thank you so much for all you do for the photographic and creative community. I'm always here for you in whatever way you need...you, Jamie, Colin, and Lottie...you are family to me, and you all mean a great deal to me. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and a very joyous New Year!
Well done Mark! Such a great idea to devote yourself to your passion. You're so lucky to have a family who will share your journey joyously. Excited to see how Camversation grows and grows.
This is wonderful! Congratulations to Mark for taking the leap and lucky us that Camversation will continue to be an amazing resource and community for those of us who have been fortunate enough to find it. I've learned so much from the intructors and photographers on Camversation, feel like I've grown leaps and bounds in my skills in post processing, but its also always felt a little special too, like its as much about the community and sharing as the learning. Best Wishes for a long happy run at this!
Congratulations Mark! I am sure this new venture will be just as popular and well accepted by lots of fellow enthusiast around the globe. Good Luck and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Wowzers! I've been with Camversation since the beginning & watched it grow .... like Topsy! Wishing you every success, you'll be a smash hit & Bravo to Jamie for taking the leap of faith with 🥰you
Congratulations Mark. So excited for this new chapter in your life! I am so happy for you and all of us! Have a wonderful Christmas with your family! 🎉
Really looking forward to where this journey takes you Mark. You have already created a wonderful place to learn and grow our photography. You've a willing volunteer here if you need one. All the best to you and yours for Christmas and this new path in 2025!
Many congratulations Mark on what must have been a very difficult decision to make. I don’t think I’ve been with you since the beginning but I’ve had a great time learning from all of the wonderful camversationists that you have brought into our lives. So looking forward to the next chapter of Camversation. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂
All the best wishes for this venture, I am sure that you will make a huge success of it. Since I joined the community I have noted your meet ups which I would like to join but just a little too far to travel for me. Are you likely to hold any in central Scotland in future?
Exciting news Mark. Wishing you every success moving forward. I'd love to be a guinea pig but I'm not sure if I have the capacity to devote enough time to it. Merry Christmas to you and yours. BTW sorry about the DCC avatar it just comes up automatically as I host some of our club Zoom meetings.
Sounds fantastic Mark, and would love to be guinea pig :-) . Hope you have a great Christmas and all the very best for this new adventure in your life; a bold step, but one you will really enjoy and make a great success of.
Great news and congratulations on the big change. I have loved all of the instructors and classes I have taken. Hope you can come to the U.S. some day. Anyone interested in Montana/Glacier National Park??? And I will be a guinea pig any time 😃

Good luck Mark, always a well organised event, seemingly effortless which I guess is a testimony to your behind the scenes input. Best wishes in '25.
