Mark Murrmann

Photo Editor

Mark came to Mother Jones with a background as a freelance editorial and documentary photographer, having covered Congress, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, Hurricane Katrina's aftermath in New Orleans, and the repercussions of the Balkan wars in the former Yugoslavia. He studied photography in London in 2004 as a second-place winner of the Alexia Foundation Photography Contest. Prior to becoming a photographer, Mark started a self-published punk magazine in 1991, which led to a weekly column in the Indianapolis Star and a coediting position at Maximumrocknroll, a long-running San Francisco-based punk magazine.
