The Karma Group is a long standing firm here in Green Bay that has hired me for various projects over the years including the foundation of my relationship with the Green Bay Packers. When shooting a small piece of a marketing rebrand for Rockline paper I got a call back. “Mark, would be interested in photographing our other plants in Arkansas?” So I spent a few days in Arkansas shooting for Karma Group and Rockline Industries learning about the worlds larges coffee filters.
I have been aware of the craftsmanship at ASI for sometime, and it was an incredible experience capturing the process of all the team members here in Wisconsin. ASI is no different in this regard than many other businesses here in Green Bay, manufacturing and fabrication executed to the highest standard that gets shipped all over the world hidden in another warehouse for no one to see except the operators. I enjoy not only photographing the work and the workers, but also peeling back the layers of the personalities that make these humans who they are. One of the main fabricators at ASI joked to me that when he retires “I’m moving to my cabin and sitting on my rear-end”. The truth is that these craftsman were born to use their brains and there hands to make and build, and they can never be happy unless they are working.
Bridget O’Connor, owner and principal at O’Connor Connective, and I have been working together for a few years and have enjoyed a wonderful collaborative relationship. When the opportunity came up for creating this public awareness campaign I was happy to roll up my sleeves to support our local businesses and help shoulder the load with Bridget and her team along with Alexis Arnold from the Artless Bastard in Depere, Wisconsin.
After our first consultation with Nathan I knew we would have an opportunity to make wonderful images for Bay Bank and their new brand through O’Connor Connective. I have been working with Joe Bergner through Baril Engine and O’Connor and have really grown to appreciate his taste, style, and work ethic. It is paramount as a creative to surround yourself with creatives that can mentor you…Joe is one of those for me. Thank you Bridget, Michelle, Joe, and Nathan for this opportunity. We captured images of 9 individuals and a few group arrangements utilizing the boardroom in a little over 2 hours.
Every employee is as unique as their own fingerprint. My recent work with Baril Engine here in Green Bay, Wisconsin allowed me an intimate look at the variety of people it takes to operate a efficient engine machine shop. At Baril Engine the first step for repair or rebuild on an engine block is a a massive scrub down on every part and piece, and the work is dirty. Depending on the clients request there may be rebuilding, new parts or both in store for the newly cleaned engine. Each and every process is precise and unique like all the employees who perform there time tested trade skill, and the final result are engine parts or an entire engine that performs better than from the factory it was originally made in. Attention to detail, quality craftsmanship, calibrated machines, and good leadership are what make this one of the best machine shops in the United States.
John Baril established Baril Engine Rebuilding Inc. in September of 1986. Originally located in a small 2,500 square foot building with only three employees, we now have grown into a 10,000 square-foot facility with 13 employees in just over 20 years. https://www.barilengine.com

Hans Klein and I have been working together for years on various photography and website related projects. When Hans was panning for gold in the Yukon, he would shoot 35mm black and white film and I would develop it for him and make prints in my homemade darkroom. I still love the work he captured on those trips, and his photography skills pale in comparison to his craftsmanship at the jeweler’s bench.
