Speaking to the ECHO, Mark said: "We filled this relatively small gallery with over 400 photographs. Even then it was still 'how do we choose?' because there were still loads which we didn't put in.
"It's chronological and goes from 1987 to 2022, so it's 35 years of music photography. It's called 35 Summers because it starts in the summer, it starts at a music festival when I first started taking pictures."
Mark said his love of music and photography started at the same time when he first discovered Beatles albums and got a camera.
He added: "From an early age that sort of visual aspect of music and the imagery that goes with it was there all the time and really appealed to me."
The exhibition closes on January 21, 2023 and will be marked with a special event with Mark and Mike Badger from the La's, who have both relocated to North Wales, playing records. The photographs will be sold and the proceeds split between the gallery and a local foodbank.
You can catch 35 Summers at the Oriel Colwyn in Colwyn Bay. It is open Tuesday to Saturday (inclusive) between 12.30pm and 5pm.
