Photo Gallery of Original Photography #1 (Early Years to 1981) by Mark D. Jones

This is a gallery of the very best photographs I’ve taken up through mid-1981, as well as a snapshot of the early years of my life. I’ll continue adding photos to this gallery daily, as I review and edit the best-of-the-best of my photos for your viewing pleasure! ☼ 🙂 Mark

(Note: I’ve included some of my early photos in this collection despite their poor or damaged condition, because the subject matter is unique and there are few existing photos to tell the story they represent…)
