Well after almost four years, 1,517 post's and 182,352 unique visitors I've decided it's time to hang up the blog. We've had some laughs, pissed plenty of people off and hopefully shone some light on some tip-top photographers and artist's. The time is right for me to call it a day. Nice one It's been a fucking laugh..............
Farewell my foul mouthed blogging friend. I have enjoyed your ripping yarns and generous way with words..

Cheers Mark, and all the best. Your blog has been an excellent diversion, hilarious, depressing all thing in between. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat the!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the effort, Mark! Yours is a voice that will most definitely be missed.
Good luck in your endeavors- and hope there's room for a comeback...
You'll be missed greatly Mark. But I do understand and hope that sometime in the future you will return with a vengeance TomRS
ReplyDeleteYour shitting me! When I saw you last week you said you were just taking a break. Lying feck! Come back. You didn't even give us a good reason. Come back please. Pretty fuckin' please. (I must be serious because I never swear in public.)
ReplyDeleteOnly just found your blog, shame you have stopped, looked a good read, good luck

You're fuckin jokin? Don't do it Mark, you're the voice of many, a valuable source of info for the un-educated like me and an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhy not just keep it going displaying more of your own work and then in your own gobshite style inevitably have a crack at some pretentious idiots who reckon they're producing brilliant contemporary work when in fact my dog and its pooey starfish could be producing better.
Please don't quit.
Oh no! so sorry to see you are stopping your blog. I have really enjoyed reading it. I hope you enjoy your new house. Thanks so much for blogging. Hope it is Hasta Luego and not Adios!
ReplyDeleteDear congratulations for your blog ...
ReplyDeleteIt is an inspiration.
I send my blog: leandrovillamea.blogspot.com
thanks greetings!
Hiya Mark, sorry to hear you are disappearing and leaving a great big chasm in the photography blogging world! Always #irreverent #funny #inspired #informative what are we going to do now?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping after a little breakette, you will get the bug again, so never say never. Good luck in future, at least tweet a bit eh?
No words.
ReplyDeleteYou guys...Nice one, thanks for all the nice stuff you have said. Of course I've just stop blogging and not died, anyway. I want to concentrait on my pics and I am going to run a blog which will be just about me and my work. How selfish am I? I'm not posting on it but when I am it will be at www.markpagesblog.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteCome on - you'll get bored. Who are you going to take the piss out of?
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't find this blog earlier, you've helped me find a lot of local events and some insightful ideas and photographers, and it's been a proper laugh reading your knowledgeable comments on everything from photography to society in general.
ReplyDeleteKeep on truckin'

ReplyDeletePlease find some form of communicating with the rest of us digital amigos.
Good luck and take care!

ReplyDeleteAfter almost a month of no Manchester Photography, there's a huge hole in my screen that can't seem to fill.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and thanks for the posts!
If there's goodbye there's also saying hello. I'm sad but if ever you missed blogging please come back.
