“When artists abjure our escalating technology, we commonly refer to them as romantics or even reactionaries. Paradoxically, Mark James is perhaps best described as a radical. The word 'radical' is derived from the Latin radix, meaning to go to the root or origin. And Mark James has surely returned to the roots of photography, to the pinhole camera, its peculiar magic, and the call of time.”
