Mark “Geo” Thomas is a street photographer seeking new visions of common objects. After 25 years of studying and performing music, from rock to classical, he stumbled over a blue footed boobie on a photographic journey to the Galapagos Islands. Living in Chicago, he pursued underwater photography on four continents and continued his street imaging after moving joining the Sacramento Photographic Arts community. He now resides in Phoenix and has exhibited at Viewpoint Photographic Arts, was selected internationally at Trieste Photo Days and won awards for his presentations at the Elmer's Watersports Annual Underwater Photography Show.

“Geo” is a pseudonym or artist's alias. “Geo” stands for George, the common man. Think of Aaron Copeland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man”. And “Geo” stands for geography. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome and charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” Mark Twain
