I´m currently walking the Way to Santiago, 500 miles across northern Spain.
Sometime in December I will post a photo series from the trip.  For now my wife and I are putting up photos on our blog....  markbecky4.blogspot.com

Sometimes I get to go on assignments that really celebrate a person's life and community. Gene Murray is retiring after teaching for almost 50 years.

We had a spring poetry contest at the Salem News, and I produced videos of the finalists.


For the grand prize winner, I got a little poetic myself with the video.

North Shore 100




Each year the Salem News puts out a magazine with 100 people that have "made a difference" in the community. I did a few of the portraits. The magazine is on sale around the North Shore of Boston.

Briscoe Middle School students and teachers play dodge ball to raise money for the families who lost their home in a fire in Beverly last month.

In 2007, I had a great opportunity to photograph with the Kenyan Red Cross. I traveled with a writer and we documented water projects that were completed in response to major droughts.
