My name is Mark A. Peterson II. I live in Sparta, WI with my partner Masha, our son Norman and our cat Petey.
I have been doing photography, for the better part of 15 years. It is something that I've always enjoyed since I was a small child, learning how to take pictures with my father. The name "MAP2" came from my father, as a nickname he called me. Since I was taught to enjoy photography by him, it was natural to use that name as an homage to him. I continued my passion, when I joined the Marine Corps after High School. While I traveled the world in the military I took as many photos as I could - in the places I was allowed to.
I specialize in wildlife and landscape photography, but I do venture off into other aspects as well. I do not work in a studio, because it is too constricting. I enjoy shooting outdoors, in order for people and myself to feel more natural.
