| Mark Hogancamp setting up a photoshoot. |
My friend Mark Hogancamp lives down the street from me and he also happens to be a celebrity. Two summers ago I visited him with my friend and we were treated to two hours of fun! Normally I wouldn't endorse knocking on a stranger's door and asking for a tour of their house, even if they are a celebrity, but this time it worked out perfectly. Mark is a photographer. He photographs his family. His family happens to be made up of action figures and dolls. He has built an amazing town in his very own backyard called Marwencol. Marwencol and Mark have their own documentary, Marwencol, which I HIGHLY recommend. I've watched it several times and it never gets old.
When we visited, Mark was wearing boxer shorts and pink toenail polish. We got to see photographs that the public hadn't seen before and we got a tour of his house and Marwencol and his collection of lady's shoes. He has over 200 pairs of women's shoes. He's a size eight and a half.
Usually I wouldn't be that interested in war photography, but his photographs are BEAUTIFUL, you guys.
Get to know his story. He is one of the most inspiring and nicest and most open people that I've ever met.
I would rate Mark and Marwencol 10 stars Must-See.
