About


Just who do you think you are? - Well I think that I am becoming Marc A. Price the photographer. Although, I have found that the art of becoming is a difficult process. I was once Marc Price (the “A.” was silent in those days) the musician. Then I became Marc Price the student. Then I became Marc A. Price the graduate. I was also Marc A. Price the writer for a while.

What does that mean in English? – Really you have no soul! It means that I left school in 1984 with no qualifications or ambition. After a lifetime managing various HMV stores around the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man (shudder) I quit my job and went back to school at the Peterborough Regional College. After which I spent four years doing a degree in American Studies at the University of Sussex in Brighton, I spent a year of this study at the University of Texas, Austin… (yee haw). I graduated with honours July 2002. Graduated from the University of Sussex again, this time with a Master’s Degree in Contemporary History in 2004. I am now vindicated. According to the pieces of paper in my possession I am currently officially clever. A bit like Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz (the book not the film).

Are you nearly done yet? – Almost. During the day I work in Amsterdam for a science publisher in a Dark Tower where I initially (amongst other things) aided a certain medical journal in its quest to become one with the Internet. Then I worked as an Application Manager on an Oracle based piece of software. I am now a Project Manager for the same company overseeing the build of all manner of clever stuff. By night I don a cape and fight crime… Well not really; I used to spend a little time writing music reviews (see here), I now mostly take pictures. I live in Haarlem because it’s pretty. I have an unhealthy interest in cover versions.

So what does that have to do with me? - Well, like I said I do a good bit of photography these days and you might want to have your photo taken. If you do then please see below, I’m getting pretty good at it these days. I’m working on a project called “Mothers” where I’m photographing, well, mothers. I plan to publish it as a book when I’m done.
