If any performer wants a more hi-res version of their picture (which may or may not exist due to heavy cropping), shoot me an email at mark@faceoffphoto.com.

I appologize for the lackluster shots on day 3 (sunday the 10th), I had a crappy seat and got lazy so I didn’t move because… well… I had a seat!

Fun photo fact: All pictures were taken with a 50mm f/1.8 lens, not because it was optimal but in the effort to minimize personal injury from standing around with a 7 pound lens for 20+ hours. I don’t think you can blame me!

Paul Scheer (Human Giant) and Jack McBrayer (30 Rock) took the stage to kick off the Del Close Marathon. Hilarity ensued.  Keep clicking to see the pictures! Read more »

One day and two line-ups later, I got my greasy paws on a new iPhone. Naturally I had to bust out the macro lens and get up close and personal with our good friend. High res pictures incoming! Keep clicking to see the magic! Read more »

I posted an ad on Craigslist in the hopes to lure people into letting me do a free sports shoot for them. I got a bite this past week and ended up shooting an adult league soccer match. Click yourself into the gallery! Read more »

UCB Cagematch pits two improve teams off in a battle to the death. The rules are simple, at no point may any contestant kick chicken wings into the crowd (boo!) however they may not throw chairs into the audience, no matter how drunk they may be (yay!). Each Cagematch has a little taste of UCBW wrestling (short bits that lead up to the pay-per-view events of the century.) On April 17th the Harold team Bastian faced off against the weekend team Mother. In the end Bastian was the last man (or group of men… and women) standing. Click your clicker a little bit more and a little bit harder to see the pictures. Read more »

My buddy Jake Grate is auditioning for improv house teams at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and needed some head shots. I was glad to help out with my absolutely zero expertise in the field of portrait photography. Luckily my lens did most of the work for me. Continue reading if you want to get really up close and intimate with Jake Grate.

More pictures from Vail. This set is all taken with my little point & shoot camera as I was too paranoid to carry around my SLR all day. It did a pretty good job thanks to clear blue skies and a blistering bright sun. Click click click to see the gallery! Read more »

Pictures from my recent snowboarding adventure in Vail. So very awesome. These are a few pictures I took with my SLR. Of course some snow managed to get on my lens without me noticing. I then wussed out and was too paranoid to carry the camera around all day so I packed it away and took my point & shoot Elph out instead. Click on to see some snow!

I’ve had several comments on the irony of the only picture of my new camera being a completely terrible cell phone picture. Well, don’t worry, now you can have a better view thanks to pictures from my point and shoot (bonus picture included!!).

Again, for those curious it is a Canon 10D with a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens. Yes, the camera is 5 years old, and yes the lens is by far the hottest thing ever! Continue clicking for some slightly more sexy pictures.
