Icewalks is available to purchase from my site. Hand bound edition of 10. Learn more and see the book at www.marklanningjr.com/icewalks-edition, already half sold!
$55 shipping included (international additional $). Contact me by email on the site to purchase a copy.
icewalks was shot in winter 2017/18 in Iowa City, looking largely at plastic items held in the ice. When the ice was at its thickest, I would walk out to find what I could. The book was bound with peculiar materials that reference the subject, and the effect of each cover, back board, and spine is unique. Browse each cover on the site, note which you’d like and I’ll reserve that copy for you to be shipped!

New work, 30 Motels on West Capitol Ave., up now on the site.
Eastern Kansas, 2016
Print sale! To help fund an upcoming road trip I’m doing a short-run print sale. This helped me immensely when I shot “Black Hills,” now I’m traveling to Ohio to mount an exhibition of that work. The prints are all framed and ready to go, monies in line… now I’m just looking to pad the gas and film fund. Work prints from many of my projects are included in this sale at $35 each, free shipping on orders of two or more with the code OHIO, and PICKUP for local sales (Sacramento or Bay Area) I can deliver myself. This sale will end the first week of July, thanks for your support!
These prints and more available at:

Finally adding this into the mix for the next Black Hills show. This was shot during Sturgis, so driving around I was just swarmed by bikes. I was trying to figure out how to include the bikes without them simply showing up here and there, so I pulled over, stuck the camera out the window, and shot for about 15 minutes. These 84 come from a set of 125. Print will be 20x30.
Some work prints from my ongoing “30 Motels” project.

Fuji 680iii, 180mm & 135mm lenses. It’s a beast but I’m loving this camera. Both of these are phone pics of 16x20 gelatin silver prints.

Another 8x10 shot from the other day.
Frank (Frank-er), 2016
Testing some outdated 8x10 film, decided to do some portraits with a white seamless background. The reference is obvious. Not sure exactly how I’ll use the film now that I know it’s good - maybe I’ll work it in to a project I’ve been working on lately - but I’m glad to have the 8x10 out of its box on the shelf.
First results from the new camera (Fuji GX680III). The lenses are great, better than my scanner. These were shot with the 100 & 180 lenses. Haven’t made any silver prints yet but I will soon. Portraits were long 1 sec. exposures since I was using 125 ISO.
Postcard for my upcoming show at Pence Gallery in Davis, CA. Runs October 6 - November 15.
