Mark W. Lipczynski now works for Republic Magazines, a division of the Arizona Republic, as a staff photographer shooting for 8 different magazines targeting specific demographics in and around Phoenix. It's not as glamorous as a newspaper gig but it's less stress and it pays the bills with a little left over. Mark eats vegetarian, mostly, snacking on an occasional sushi roll. He loves his woman, his dog, the great outdoors and creating life-like scenerios in his mind (some call it pre-visualization, others call it crazy!). His dream car is a Mercedes-Benz G500, starting at a mere $81,000 it's a wonder not everyone is driving one. His greatest fear is statistics. His hope is to one day be self-employed. Mark especially wants to thank the professional and courteous staffs of the Tribune-Chronicle and Youngstown Vindicator for taking him in when no one else wanted him around.
