Cheery Street Scene in Quebec

Well, after a long, long sleep, I got a late start to the day here in Quebec, but that sleep was fantastic. There was only one room-mate in my room last night (looks like two tonight) and he must have … Continue reading →

Mark E Tisdale

I'm a self professed geek with a camera, a life-long fan of sci-fi, fantasy and technology. Somehow, I stumbled onto a love for travel and shortly after uncovered my new life as a visual artist.

If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me!
