If you've paid any attention to the Monthly Image Competition, you've noticed their work. If you attended the 2022 Symposium at the University of Georgia, you saw them work. Who? The Marks: Mark Cornelison of the University of Kentucky, and Mark DiOrio of Colgate University. The guys with the 4x5 cameras.
