"Passed Life" is a collection of photographs taken by Mark David Moskowitz

Mark was born in New York City and raised in nearby Nassau County, Long Island.
Mark developed an interest in photography while attending Syracuse University. He eventually returned to New York City to attend classes in photography at The School of Visual Arts.
While attending SVA his photographic efforts earned him a grant to travel and develop his photographic talents.
In the fall of 1969, after a year and a half of traveling throughout England, Europe, North Africa and Israel, Mark returned to his home base in Paris and was directed to the offices of Henri Cartier-Bresson and his wife Martine. The Bressons reviewed his photographic portfolio and was told by Monsieur Bresson,
“This is the best portfolio of photographs I’ve seen since my own. I wish I had taken them.”
Monsieur Bresson, his wife Martine and her business partner Pierre, offered Mark a studio in Paris, in a round house where Erik Satie used to rehearse his music and, they  also set up a meeting at the office of Magnum Photo Agency, urging Mark to join.  Mark, not being interested in studio photography, and already having arranged the start of a journey to The East, declined the generous offer. They also directed Mark to the Atelier of Man Ray to present his portfolio to him.
Man Ray’s wife met Mark at the door of the Atelier and took his portforlio. Upon returning the next day to retrieve the portfolio, Man Ray told Mark that he and his wife had spent the evening over a bottle of wine creating little stories from the images in the portfolio and thanked Mark for allowing them to review it.
Mark spent the next year and a half traveling throughout The Middle East, India and Nepal before returning to Paris and then eventually back to his home town of New York.
His photographs have been exhibited in Paris, London, New York and where he currently lives in San Diego, California.
Mark also paints and is a musician and can be found at his musical website: www.soundsofbrasil.com
